Daisy 953 - Low Price. One cock lever actuated pneumatic air rifle that has advantages over a single cock lever actuated spring compression air rifle. That advantage is safety. You never have to worry about the rifle going off and being harmed when loading the rifle. If you have a lever operated spring air rifle you always run the risk of the rifle going off and crushing your thumb or finger while loading a pellet.
Daisy 953 - Plastic. This rifle has too much plastic. Even the bolt mechanism for loading pellets is made of plastic. Just moving it back and forth during loading a pellet it grinds and kind of catches on everthing. Probably would last a lot longer and work a lot bettter of the bolt mechanism was made out of aluminum with a stainless steel alignment spring. After 1000 rounds of .177 pellets the rifle does not seem to get in the groove as far as accuracy. It is very accurate for a few rounds then it goes off on a tangent for a while, then after a few scope adjustment, it comes back online. Everyday I have to adjust the scope to get it zeroed in and it works for a while, then I have to adjust the scope again. Everyday.
Daisy 953 - Overall it is a very nicely done one cock pneumatic air rifle with a nice feel and comfortable to use. It is balanced and it is easy to cock that one time, which is a plus. It is a pneumatic one cock rifle so
that gives it excellent safety points. It will not ever hurt you while is is being loading. I cannot recommend this rifle because is is made mostly of plastic and will not live long enough for you to enjoy. The tolerances will get worn quickly, the air seal will go out soon. Even as a new rifle the bolt does not work smoothly and it shoots erratically.
