Got my 880 back! The 880 is a legend to me!

(1/1)

I've had like 3 by now, IDK what happened to #2, but #3  I gave away to a guy to get him into the hobby.  So this is my original Walmart purchased 880 with scope!

Anyway what a great little rifle!  The cheapest possible of everything, all plastic, but packs a hefty punch, capable of nearly 8 foot pounds with the right pellets and just dead on accurate if you stick to pellets only (which I do, religiously).  I haven't gotten to shoot it again yet and I also got back my Crosman 1077, and home made backpacker, 1322 with 14" barrel and stock.  I plan to shoot all three again today.  Luckily when I got them back I got a couple tins of .22 and one 500 tin full of .177 wadcutter pellets.

Anyway something about the cheap dead simplicity of this pumper gun, yet its a serious tool and capable of pesting or very small game at short range, just really appeals to me.  Absolutely do love my other guns too, but a Daisy 880 will probably always live in my collection of airguns, cuz you really can't go wrong with that $35 purchase!

Also is it true now, that Daisy owns Crosman?  Not sure that's a good thing, if so...

avator:
Yep, sad but true.
I sure hope they don't make a Daisyman.  :o

airgunaut:
The 880 now costs $60 with that scope, but I agree the rifle is surprisingly good!

I got so hooked that half a year later I added an air pistol, and after about another half year a second air rifle. Love all three.

Have fun again!

I wonder how well it would shoot lead balls?  Might make loading easier, pellets are hard to load, but then might not shoot as well?
