Resurrected Archived Thread ... Related to 953C Cadet

A couple of years ago, I purchased two Daisy 953 Target Pro air rifles.

These models had been discontinued by Daisy since the introduction of the Daisy Model 901.
I didn't know this action had taken place.
But, when I learned the fact the model was dropped, I made a concerted effort to buy a New Old-Stock example.
Long story short ... I found two at New England Airgun Inc. - without hesitation ... bought both.

After shooting the Daisy 953's I realized, I should have bought one a long time ago.

I was surprised to find the domestic-market 953 produced more-velocity than the Canadian 953C Cadet rifle (Average: 352 ft/s).
By the way,I mounted a scope on one of my other 953s ... yep, I have a couple more.
When I found the little rifle had been discontinued, I thought it would be a good idea to stock-up on what I could find.

I just love the repeater capability via clip-feed ... don’t like fumbling with tiny pellets when I plinking or while engaged-in recreational target practice. 
The rubber side-feed clip sometimes is a little-sticky.
But, I find coating the clips with powdered-graphite reduces the frequency of this little-inconvenience significantly.
