Found this in my Father's basement

Honestly I don't recall what model it is, but I'm sure some of you know!

That was the Cadillac of pump guns when I was a kid.

Wanted one so bad but never owned one.

Great find

Daisy 880? Are those some old copper bbs too? I found a couple of packs of old copper bbs when I dug out my ancient Marksman air pistol.

Nice find! My kid brother had a variant of that model, or perhaps the same.

That’s a Daisy 880 and one of those was my first gun. I got a new one for my 4th birthday back in 1976, they were mostly metal back then and sure don’t make them like they used to. Nice find.

Sweet! That was my first gun 45+ years ago. Good memories and good times with that gun.

Nice find. Something for indoor plinking when its crappie outside.

I see it - that airgun shooting is in your blood!

Yes, it's a Daisy 880 .177cal pumper. I have two of these Sears, Roebuck & Co El Dorado's, as they were called for the Sears only rifles. Both built 1973, the second year of Daisy's contract with Sears. Then Daisy started selling their own as the 880. Disturbingly quiet at 10 pumps! But still hits hard, & isn't terribly pellet picky. Here's a pic also of the pellets I made those holes with;
