The other day my rear sight came in for the 499B I was tinkering on. I was surprised reading the directions that it is the same sight for the 853.I kept thinking about that, as I tried sighting in the 499B; it needs more money... Came to the conclusion today, that I'm kinda wasting my time on a competition "bb gun" when I could be finishing off the competition 853c,(with Lothar Walther barrel)So I removed the Buck Rail LDC and reinstalled the front sight/muzzle weight, and put that new rear sight on! Now looks as it should, can't wait to try her out!

That’s awesome - looks like fun shooting
Objective more shooting less trips to repaint the targets.
Dan your collection of spinner targets is impressive. I wonder do you play some kind of shooting games with them?I just have three pretty simple spinner sets and a bunch of gongs hanging from trees and fence posts. Sometimes I get obsessive compulsive about the resetting spinner set and I will waste an hour and a half tin of pellets trying to shoot it “perfectly” although it only has five targets. Your multiplicity of targets would cause me to have a nervous breakdown.
