Cheap vs. Expensive

[Bam86]

Thought I would take advantage of little wind after work today and do a little shooting. Couldn’t decide what to shoot so just picked a couple guns for a fun comparison. Daisy 880 with open sights compared to Daystate Wolverine R with Aztec emerald scope set at 16x. I used shooting sticks off a seat field target style for the position. Range was 10, 20, 30 yd. A bit of a wind gust came up for a couple of shots, but that’s all part of it. I was really surprised how well the Daisy did with the open sights. Even though at 30 yd I was having trouble seeing the bull.
The target is below. I didn’t hold over with the Daisy, mainly because I didn’t know how much. It is usually my indoor 10m gun. I did adjust with the Daystate since the scope allows for that.
I took 3 shots at each bull. Of course the Wolverine did much better all the way, but it was still a lot of fun.

Haven’t had much time to shoot lately so today it was nice to relax for a bit.

Enjoy,

Yessss!!!
I loveeeee taking 2 different slingers when I go to the range for comparison!
My(the) 880 is quite the beast for its price point.
She WILL sling slugs too

Nice groups. Interesting the Daisy did so well

Yes, considering the open sights I was really surprised when I walked up to the 20 yard and saw the two shots touching. Really love how the wadcutters make such a clean hole.

Thanks for all the comments.

Just noticed you were using different pellets per slingers.
Try the same ammo in each next time for side by side comparison. I promise you the 880 will throw thos AA. She will even sling 15.74gr rabbit magnums(heaviest ive tried in it)

Interesting that you used 10 pumps on all distances, since you said you consider the 880 your indoor 10 meter gun. At what distance did you zero it?

I zeroed mine at 10 meters and it shoots well at 10 meters with only 4 to 6 pumps*. For paper or aluminum cans, I pump it 4x per shot. For steel cans or spinners, I give it 5 to 6 pumps, because I want the pellet to penetrate the can (the circular end of it, which is either thicker or tougher than the wall), and I want the bounce off the spinner to make a nice sound.

*Pellet is RWS R10 WC 8.2 gr; when using the Crosman domed copper 10.6 gr pellet I added another pump.

When I shoot in the basement, I just use 5 pumps. Since this is the first time I really shot it outside, and knew I would be stretching it out. I decided to consistently use 10 pumps at all distances.

It is sighted it for 10 meters, with 5 pumps. Center of mass hold.

When I was outside , I forgot this was center of mass and held it for lollipop hold. I realized that after shooting the 10 yard target, so figured I would just stay with it for the day.

I didn’t really have a decided plan, just enjoying the trigger time after work, since I had a little time, AND it wasn’t windy. Once I started, I just kept going stretching it out.

Thanks for reading the post.

IF you ever want to shoot paper at 10’, only 2 pumps works great!

If by stretching it out you mean shooting more pellets than originally planned, that’s me, too. Some time, little wind, and plenty of pellets = fun.
