Good Points

Inexpensive for a very accurate rifle out of the box.
Fit and finish is superb.


Bad Points

The only thing I'd change is the plastic skirting that sits on the top of the stock to hide any gaps. A few dollars extra for a metal piece would still have made this the least expensive competitive air rifle out there.


General Comments

Amazing.
After a hiatus of 15 years I've decided to get back into shooting. In the mid 80's/early 90's I competitively shot rimfire but gave it up when my career got too hectic.
This Christmas I gave my 7 year old a Red Ryder and within a day dad was hooked too.
So off to the store to find something that would suit me. The 853c seemed to do the trick...reviews said it was highly accurate and it wouldn't break the bank. I don't know if I want to get involved with competitive shooting, but I wanted something my son could move upto if he desired.
Within a few days I was shooting 5 shot groups measuring less than a centimetre (1/2") standing freehand at 10m.
It comes with an inexpensive plastic rear micrometer sight...I can only imagine what it will do when the upgraded sight I've ordered arrives.
