Daisy Avanti Precision Rear Diopter Sight

Specified for Sporter-class Daisy Avanti CO2 air rifles. When your old sights wear and get loose and wobbly, this one will return the air rifle to proper sighting. It is legal for judged competition when used on the correct air rifles - Daisy Avanti, maybe others I don't know.. The cheaper Avanti came with a plastic version; this one is mostly metal, though not heavy metal it does the job and I expect good life out of it. The neat thing is this is a legal upgrade from the plastic rear sight of the Daisy Avanti air rifles. There was some confusion on the internet about which of these sights were made where and by whom, but this one is a good one, regardless of where it might have been made.

Have just received the sight and I have to say it is not near the quality of the rear peep sight that came on my Daisy 853. Before I even picked it up I could see the abundance of plastic used to make this sight. I mounted it on the rifle and the adjustment/fastener to the dove tail seems very inadequate. The mounting clam is small, approx 1/4 inch while the base is significantly larger, I should have noticed this from the picture. The original sight has 2 mounting points even with a smaller base. I haven't shot with this yet so perhaps my 3 stars is unfair but first impressions are not great. I will post a follow up if my concerns are found to be unwarranted.

The only reason this sight doesn't get a one-star it's because it's built well. My main problem with this is that it came shooting way to the left and after fully adjusting it all the way to the right it's still hit to the left. I'm very disappointed that I have to compensate to the right to hit accurately.

Worked greayt on myCMP Daisy 853. Other places wanted as much for shipping.

Fits perfectly on my Powerline 953!

Better than the standard sight. Different sight picture to learn but should improve your scoring.

Works as advertised

Exactly as described.
