found one locally that was what appeared to be a steal and decided I needed one of these in my stable.
wood stock .. says Daisy powerline 853 on one side and U.S. on the other side.
it is not a safe queen
first shot using 6.9g pellet shot at 480 fps
included with the sale was a gamo deluxe spinner still in the box, one of those 4 plate spinners, a full tin and a partial tin of pellets and a 5899 daisy receiver sight and a tasco 3-7x20 scope ... all for 100$
since I don't have a single stroke pneumatic I think I got 100$ worth

Says "US" on he side means it was once purchased from the CMP. Probably an ROTC rifle. I have one and they are totally accurate.

If it does not have the trigger mod, I suggest you do it. Makes a HUGE difference.

I really like mine. Don't be stingy with the oil on the wiper. I have the pistol grip version, 753 I think. So far it does not like the couple of wadcutters I have but it loves CPL brown box. I use the peep sights..

For good health, give up smoking, drinking and sex. You may not live to be one hundred but it sure will seem like it.

thank you everyone. I have been happily using it as a starling rifle out to 17 yards.
