Hi All,

I just picked up a Daisy 853 form the Civilian Marksmanship Program. I'll be showing it off to my local club in an attempt to convince them that it's worth investing to start a merit badge program with the local boy scouts. Check it out, ain't she a beaut'?

I'll be posting accuracy results tomorrow after I spend all day at the range!

Cheers,
Joe

Full album:

Wow! You got a good one! I’ve bought a few. A couple were much less pristine than yours. Congratulations. They’re sweet shooters, that’s for sure.

The rear screw was completely loose on about half of them, including the standard stock one that I bought. Luckily, it just wasn't installed correctly instead of stripped.

mine is also loose... i try to tighten the rear screw but it is bottomed out... could someone telle me if there is anything else that the screw should be attached to? it only has this squareish plastic/rubber block, and the screw seems to have a "nut" half way up the threads. you only feel wiggle when you pump it. otherwise i was killing a silhouette ram at 35 yards yesterday... today im stretching it out to 45...

I had a similar problem with one I received from CMP. The aluminum receiver was stripped out. I had to buy a replacement.

I was under the impression 3 spacers come with the gun..I only received 2...with 2 the lop is 13 1/2” which I can work with...

I have made 3 orders for 853's from CMP. I have only received 2 spacers per air rifle.

I'd contact the CMP program and ask.

Sorry Bob.. I didn't see this before I posted.

TennX, I'd be interested in hearing how the 2078 sight works for you. Is it like the one below? Are you going to keep the globe front sight? IIRC they include a post insert for it.

tennx · « **Reply #48 on:** March 29, 2018, 06:58:17 PM »

That’s the sight I offered to u....actually I have the gun on the money using the included peep and globe front....the front sight was wonky but once I loosened and lined up ,gun shoots fine at 10meters...I think I will work it this way for a while....I really liked the open on the ar but went ahead and scoped it...

The order form I used showed 3 spacers ...that’s why I asked..no biggie LOP is 13 1/2 with 2 I can work it...

if I need parts can order extra...besides I have bushings to make spacers...

Good deal!

Congrats!

Gun is in great shape and tack driver at 10 meters....using factory sights...talked to CMP and as mentioned they only come with 2 spacers, but they are sending me a third....even though I stated 2 was fine..

PS..I like the used look, but am tempted to refinish as this is a fine looking gun..

Hoosier Daddy · « **Reply #52 on:** March 30, 2018, 12:19:46 PM »

Very nice Phil!

I have heard both answers in the past, Would you call it "adult sized"?

I would with spacers in place..as I mentioned LOP is 13 1/2” from trigger to butt plate using 2 spacers...just got email CMP is sending me 1 extra free( dont think I need it)....FYI Daisy sells them in a 3 pack....

cobalt327 · « **Reply #54 on:** March 30, 2018, 10:51:24 PM »

I would also call it adult sized. Using 3 spacers, my 853 w/'sporter' stock has a 14" LOP and it feels fine for the offhand/open sight shooting I do.

tennx · « **Reply #55 on:** March 30, 2018, 11:22:32 PM »

I would suggest that anybody ordering a 853 ask for a extra spacer ...

...even though I dont need it ..looking forward to even 14”...

Hey TennX
Hate to be a bother, but was wondering how you purchased your 853.
Did you download and printout the mail-in form with a check and then wait?
Or did you call somebody and give them a CC number?
Do you still get to choose between the sporter and target stock?

Thanks
Ray

I printed out the mail-in form and mailed it with a check for $119.95 to the address on the form.
There is a place on the form that lets you choose which stock you want.
