Good review! CMP 853 is one of the best deals going in the AG community. I have 4 and I've given away 2 more as gifts. I kind of like the beat up old stocks because I enjoy refinishing them.
What happens if you pump it more than once???
Hello, can anyone comment on how suitable the M853 rifle would be for prone shooting with a sling, as in 4-position small-bore shooting? Looking at this as a first purchase for at home and use in 4-P at the club.Thanks,Terry
Thanks! I was afraid the use of a sling, and shooting in the prone position, would be problematic with the need to "cock" the rifle for each shot.The CMP is the most likely way I'll go for the time being; lowest investment until I know I'm hooked, and have the time!
laser beam accurate, easy to cock (maybe a littel less os in prone..).... my complaint with it is the stock is too small for me, even though I like a short LoP..... figure it shouldnt be that hard to build a custom stock fir it that fits me.....
