It's shooting relatively fast. Given the pellet weight the ft-lb. is a little better than average. If you shoot heavier ammo the power will go up, at least to a point.My best gun: RWS Superpoint 8.2 gr 491fps avg. for 4.39 foot-poundsRWS Hobby 7.0 gr 478 fps avg
Finally finished my basket case Daisy 853. This gun is my official “Beater” it came from the CMP with all sorts of problems. From the stripped out reciever cover, to the chipped wood on the stock. Fittingly enough it had the number”13” emblazoned on the butt of the stock. My lucky number... This gun languished in obscurity, only becoming useful when I had to rob parts for other rebuilds; until... Only “13” remained.So I set about ordering parts, and trying to conjure up a motif for this rebuild, befitting it history, and recieved designation of “13”. Maybe tie it into my screen name while I’m at it... But how to hide the sins of a badly beaten, and chipped stock? Then it all came to me. This was the result...
