Berkeley Lines: 18 Approved: jkh@ucbjade Author: Alan Geist Article: 1:42 I am interested in buying a good quality BB/pellet gun for backyard plinking (I live in the city limits, so it's illegal for me to fire my .30-06 or 12 gauge, for some reason :-) ). I looked over some of the "pump" guns in a local sporting goods store, but they all have a lot of plastic, artificially large barrels to make them look like firearms, etc. I also noticed that the top of the line Daisy (at least the most expensive one at this store) wasn't even a pump. My impression has been that the pump guns develop more power than the others. Is this true? Other things I am interested in are accuracy, adjustability of the sights, and overall quality. Price is definately a factor, but less of one than the other aspects. One other thing I noticed was that most of them have stocks made to fit an eight year old. Can anyone steer me in the right direction. Alan Geist tektronix!shark!alang The Doctor: "I'm dangerous when I don't know what I'm doing!"
