Daisy 753S at greater distances than 10M

[pdxFrank]

I have a Daisy 753S. If you're familiar with the gun, what do you use for 25Y shots?

When the wind is completely calm, It's fine, dime-sized groups. Until a bee farts or a plane crosses overhead lol.

I've tried a bunch of different ammo types, weights, sizes, and the 8.2gr RWS wadcutters do best overall.
But they tumble at times and the flyers drive me nuts.

If you own one of the Daisy 10M single-strokes, let me know your best distance and what ammo?

on a good zero wind morning. 25y benchrest w/dipoter sights.
gun shoots better than i can so don't judge too harshly.

Wow dude! 25 yards with mechanical sights. That is fantastic shooting in my book. I don’t have one of those rifles but I keep going back and looking at the used CMP Daisy 853 rifles. Might just snag one of those to plink with in my yard. It’s nice to see that potential at longer than 10 yards. Thanks for the post,
Kenny

yeah Kenny one of those CMP deals is on my wish list. i look forward to trying one.


red dots i can see, but the dimes challenge is all grey fuzz. i was gonna stick these on the challenge target, and thought, eh, why bother, this works. save some ink and no distractions.

i don't shoot my break-barrels as much since getting it, springer guy that i am. quiet, accurate, easy single stroke. light. adjustable length. comes with nice dipoter sights and front peep. included a sling strap but that's in a drawer somewhere.


anyway, good gun, i do recommend it. wish i could squeeze, oh, about 150 more FPS out of it so longer shots are easier.



thanks for the excuse to chat Kenny, hope i'll find the magic bullet for just a light wind. and handle a snails-pace of 400-ish FPS.

RWS does best so far, but 1 or 2 out of 10 will wander off from the otherwise tight group.

i even use peep sights for the Diana 350mag .22, which is just as accurate with the same setup.

And isn't bothered at all with a gust of wind.



man, after about 50 shots tho', i'm feeling my age. the 753, i could shoot that all day.

too windy today to shoot the 25Y side, so here's a little closer-in 40' plinking.

ever since i got into airguns, my powder-burners are just gathering dust!
