Shot 5 shot groups at 10 yds from a rest with the following guns:
New Barro Pump Up Cowboy Hornady Black Diamonds - China??? - 4" group
New Red Ryder Adult with Hornady Black Diamonds - China??? - 2.5" group
New Daisy Avanti 499 with Avanti match BBs - China??? - 1" group (not shot much so not use to sights so thinking I can do better)
Vintage Daisy 111 with Hornady Black Diamonds - Arkansas - 1.25" group
Vintage Daisy 25 with Hornady Black Diamonds - Arkansas - 1.25" group
The Daisy 499 had the best trigger pull followed by the Daisy Red Ryder. The other guns trigger pull were terrible. Was surprised at the accuracy of the vintage guns. Sights were not that good and guns very light, Has the quality of the Daisy barrels gone down when production moved to China??? Was also wondering it the Plymouth MI barrel may have been the best. I assume the Daisy 499 was made in China so good barrels are possible from them. The Adult Red Ryder handled and shot nice with good weight but those old guns beat it easily in accuracy. Any thoughts.
