Avanti 747 Triumph Match Target Pellet Pistol

I've only had this pistol a short time but I'm impressed with it's accuracy. Not a fan of plastic parts but time will tell how they work out. I'm waiting for the trigger to break in. It's a little gritty and to heavy, even at it's lightest setting, for my personal taste. All in all it's hard to beat for the price and you can safely use it indoors with proper precautions. Buy one and enjoy.

Pros
Price - Accuracy - Ease of use

Cons
Plastic parts - Trigger - Needs different grips

I want to improve my pistol shooting, so I researched air pistols and this looked like an affordable, quality product that could provide a solid platform for shooting. I have been very happy with this pistol. It is reliable, consistent, and very accurate. It has a solid feel and weight to it. So far, this has been perfect for me as a training tool and just solid fun. It is easy to cock and accurate to at least 10 meters and more. I can shoot it indoors (with a solid trap) without any problems.

Pros
accurate, easy to cock, solid feel

That America can make an excellent product to compete in the world market. The overall quality is well worth the $220. Dry fire it two or three times to warm-up and the consistency in air pressure will give you really tight groups. With a little more finesse this gun can be world class. Americans have no problem paying for quality. Make us proud to say IT'S A DAISY!

I got this for basement range shooting. I had never had a target pistol with the accuracy this one delivers.
When I first got the pistol the loading was a little stiff. After about 50 rounds the pistol became smoother when loading.
I ordered several different match grade wadcutters, Benjamin, Crosman and H&N, and all have performed great. The pistol does not seem to be pellet sensitive.

Pros
Nice feel. More capability for accuracy than I can take advantage of. Hopefully practice with steady my hand. Tigger is very nice. Trigger release is very predictable. Easy to load. Easy to cock.

I seriously thought about building a 10 meter pistol out of another brand that starts with a "C" but once you crack it open you are on your own and it would have cost more in the end. This Daisy 747 is super accurate, came that way from the factory, no fiddling necessary, has a warranty and easily capable of doing air pistol silhouette too. I have a quarter on a string at 55 feet that is all beat to hell!

Pros
Again: This Daisy 747 is super accurate, came that way from the factory, no fiddling necessary, has a warranty and easily capable of doing air pistol silhouette too.

Cons
Nothing, period.

I've had a Crosman 1377 for the better part of 50 years. I used it as a beginning tool to teach my small children gun safety and marksmanship. We also went plinking whenever we could. I've always had fun with it but I was looking for something a little more user-friendly. I didn't want CO2 or PCP. I don't plan to be in Olympic champion, I just wanted something I could shoot in the basement that was easy to use and reasonably accurate and modestly priced between trips to the range. This gun fits the bill for me. The one cock action is an improvement over the Crosman and the adjustable sights, although plastic, allows you to dial in your groups. I was shooting quarter size groups right out of the box and now that I've had this gun for a few weeks, the accuracy seems to be improving. I haven't found a great deal of difference using several brands of wadcutter target pellets. I started with R10's and they were fine, but the Gamo match 7.52 gr are becoming my favorite. I've only put about 500 pellets through the gun at this time, but I'm most pleased with this purchase and the service from Air Gun Depot.

Pros
Modestly priced Accurate Adjustable sights for both windage and elevation One cock action Very fast shipping and good communication from air gun depot.

Cons
I haven't found anything yet, but I'll keep an eye on the plastic sights and bolt.

Do to age and Crystalline eye lens implants my best competitive pistol shooting days are behind me but I still enjoy practicing especially indoors in the winter. Addition of a Sun Optics USA IZH 46 Pistol Scope Mount and a Bushnell Trophy TRS-25 Red Dot Sight Riflescope, 1 x 25mm (731303) to my Avanti 747 Triumph Match Target Pellet Pistol, .177 cal has made all the difference. The mount (.8 oz) and red dot (3.4 oz) do add a few ounces each to the 2.35 Lb gun weight but the 2.7 Lb total isn't objectionable. The sight picture although not magnified is clear and easy to bring to target. The consistent accuracy of the Avanti coupled with it's ergonomics makes it a pleasure to shoot. I did have to search a bit too find that just right pellet for the best groups, in my case JSB Green Match Light Weight .177 Cal, 7.72 gr. matched with the 360FPS was ideal. At just over $200 with an occasional sale discount the Avanti shoots like a 10 meter gun that costs three-four times as much.

Pros
Ergonomics, points well and strings 360 FPS shoot after shoot with minimal variation.

Cons
I'm not a big fan of plastic parts and the plastic breach although not causing any problems yet is of concern.

I now own 3 of these pistols and am amazed at the accuracy of them. At 79 years old I have put 5 shots in a 1/4" group several times. if you are looking for a short range target pistol, this is the one and this is the place to get it.

Pros
super accurate with most pellets. Easy to use.

Cons
rear sights could be better but at this price they are plenty good.

Excellent air pistol! It feels very comfortable in my hand and allows me making steady shots. It is very accurate from the 1st shot. I made a right choice!
