My Daisy 880!

[iAMzehTOASTY1]

I've had so many of these over the years.
Finally able to afford putting a little $/stuff on/into it and what not.
Figured is start with what spare parts I had laying around.
I like this ALOT more now
More weight up front*my preference on a multipump*
Can now go prone of need be.
Folded up bipod gives me more "shelf" up front for my big hands/for me more stability off-hand.
I can set the slinger down and not worry about it.
Even the lady was eyeballing it bc she shot it off of bags and liked it
..
So!
Uhhh....
Barrel clamp with picatinny for bipod
Barska 3-9×32 with 30/30 reticle
Usually slinging 10-13gr for hunting/pesting
Then 5.4-10gr for paper pinching.

Nice additions. A very good little rifle when you stay within its limits. Glad to see you are having fun with it.

My son has had one for about 3 years. I just shot some RWS Diablo basic pellets in it at 20 yards yesterday. I was blown away at how well it stacks them with 7 pumps and iron sites. They were moving 625fps with 7 pumps.

Soooooo, how many have done the barrel taping bit? Mine isn’t audibly loose, but I’ve read enough posts about this improving the gun’s precision (or accuracy, for those who call it that—I was taught that accuracy applies to the shooter, while precision refers to the gun) that I’m curious. It appears to be a simple DIY. But some say tape a little down from the muzzle while others say to also tape in a second location farther down.

The thing is, for a whopping $60, the 880 is a bargain, period. So much fun for that $60 plus some pellets!

I wrapped it bc it was glaring the sun into my eyes at certain times

It's a great bargain for what it can do

I inherited my Father-in-law’s 880, 10 or more years ago. One side of the receiver is broken.
Parts are cheap, maybe I should give it some attention?
Fix it up and let the boys fistfight over it?

The two older ones will back down as the little one has mama’s mean streak.

My 880 is in 2nd place for pest/hunting kills from my airgun collection.

 

[Struckat]

I am pretty sure this one has more than a few kills. He didn’t like anything messin with his tomatoes!

These slingers are great fun all around
Dang accurate/not too pellet picky.
I will probably end up with another one for the lady bc this one is mine!

From what I understand, the taping is an internal shim or pair of shims rather than an external wrap. Supposedly fills any space between the actual barrel and the shroud.

The sun definitely is getting to be more of a pain now that we’re heading into the long days of intense sunshine.

Just shows you dont need to spend 100's for a little fun.
