CMP Daisy Air Rifles - SUCH a deal!

[nyrasgt]

Jadies and Lentlemen,
   Be advised that our friends at the CMP are offering reconditioned (i.e., like new) Daisy 853 air rifles, .177 cal, single pump/shot, with SLING and target peep sights, for $100 + $14.95 shipping.  Unreal deal for the most inexpensive practice, anywhere you have 10 meters/33 feet ( basement?  backyard?  barn?  garage? hallway?).
Will not help with rapid fire, but for honing position, NPOA, 6 steps...none better.
  For comparison,  CMP offers new Daisy 853s for $212.  Retail they're in the high $200s.  Even Daisy Firearms Education special offers/"Club in a box" can't come close.
5k pellets for $25; beat that.
   Full disclosure:  about 12 lb cocking effort, so may be unsuitable for those under 10 (in NYS must be 12 y.o. to fire
a cartridge arm, thus the air rifles - and Red Ryder BB guns).  Similar CMP 853C model (with 5 shot "magazines) were used with my HS gym classes.  If the gym classes couldn't break them, no one can.
  Outstanding deal for the money, and certainly for limited time...
Excelsior,
