General Comments

This Daisy Avanti 853 Legend is the first air gun I have ever owned and I bought it based on several online reviews (including ones here). I had expected to get an air rifle with a tough trigger but maybe I got lucky, my trigger is very nice, probaby near 3 Lb pull and it is very quiet to shoot.

I called and spoke with Daisy and they said the trigger tollerance from the factory could be anywhere between 3-6 Lbs so it's a luck of the draw as to how your trigger will feel.

At least one company will modify the trigger and make it adjustable. That's good to know but for now I am satisfied with the trigger out of the box.

For $185 it's tough to be critical of anything. Sure there is some plastic on it, but did I mention it costs about $185?

Accuracy and balance is nice, I really like the sights too. I have been getting clover leaf groups using match ammunition. The 20Lb cocking effort is a breeze (compared to 50Lb ones).

The hardwood stock is nothing to write home about, but it's hardwood. The butt stock spacers do not fit perfectly flush with the stock but that's no big deal. At least to me.

I really like this gun, I am very glad I chose it, and I would suggest it to anyone interested in 10 meter target shooting.

I plan to buy the Daisy/Avanti 753 next!
