Good Points: RWS barrel, accurate, high quality but simple peep sights, almost fool-proof operation

Bad Points: User work needed to obtain optimal accuracy (light bedding needed) - poor butt plate and stock for competition

General comments: Outstanding competition rifle for the price. I used it for many years in High School with and outside of my NJROTC company. With it, I went up against and beat many many Feinwerkbau and Anschutz users (and I'm not the only one). It must have been humbling for them. This is the perfect air rifle to learn on - to make sure you deserve and can take advantage of a more accurate rifle. It is a limited rifle - but it is was cheaper than my Anschutz sights! I owe my love of competition matches to this trusty gun...

I bought the Daisy - Rogers Arkansas, USA Powerline 853 Air Rifle as a short distance plinker, target, and pest control rifle.

For less money a Benjamin Sheridan is made with better materials, excluding the wa ...

Good gun, don't pump it anything past 12 (preferably 10). I tried to compete with my friend's .22 with it, I didn't do too well. I decided that I needed a new gun, anyway, so I did 17. It ruined the air chamber(takes 10 just to get a BB or pellet out of the barrel) and I blew the barrel out (litterally 3 inches out of the outer barrel)!!!!!! VERY good starter gun or intermediate gun for taret shooting. Also a good bird gun. I shot and killed a bird right in the head with just 2 pumps!!!!!

The Daisy Target Model 853 air rifle is used by the Valley High School Junior ROTC's marksmanship class. The United States Army has found it to be easy to handle and safe for high school cadets.

The Daisy Powerline 853 is an excellent air rifle for Youth shooting competitions. It's .177 caliber lead pellet shoots an extreemly tight group on indoor ranges with the easily adjustable peep sights. The full size maple stock is very comfortable to shoot for the the average shooter, but could stand to be a tiny bit longer for us tall guys.
