Summary: Excellent all around air pistol 2008-02-03
Comment: I've had the 747 over 6 weeks now. As others have said, it is extremely accurate. It has an adjustible trigger that I have not needed to adjust yet. While it is fairly heavy, I got used to the weight fairly quickly. Much of the weight is in the barrel, but that gives the gun what I consider a good balance. I shoot with a two-hand and a one-hand grip.I think a small shooter would have problems with the weight. It is pretty easy to cock.
It is quiet. I shoot indoors a lot and my wife is not disturbed by the sound. I have added a red dot sight that I have getting used to. Of course you can't use a sighting device in 10 meter competition but I use the gun for pleasure rather than competition. At the end of a day, I find it relaxing to shoot 40 or 50 pellets into a pellet trap at 27 feet.
So far it has not been fussy about pellets. I haven't really found a brand that stands out for good or bad.

Summary: Very Accurate, Very Quiet, Easy and Fun to Use 2007-01-10
Comment: The Daisy Avanti 747 Triumph is a very, very accurate, .177 caliber, "one-pump" pellet pistol, at a "street price," as of this writing, of about $130. It is also very quiet which makes it suitable for indoor use as well as in a back yard. It is definitely "barrel heavy" and not a good choice for children, unless they are adult size. Total weight is 2.91 pounds; the steel, rifled barrel is 9.6" long; and overall length is 13.5". I received mine two months ago and this is what I found:
The cardboard box had a ding in it but it did not affect the 747. The packaging is not double-boxed, the interior box is a half-box styrofoam affair that fits inside the cardboard mailing carton. I ordered it from Pyramyd via Amazon. All vendors use this same packaging as it originates with Daisy. None of them repackage the piece nor do they open it to inspect before shipping it out. In fact, Daisy packs a bright orange instruction sheet that says if you have problems (defective gun, etc.) Do Not Return the airgun to the retail store where you purchased it, return it to Daisy. So, for all of you collector types, you do not get much of an original box. The name on the gun is Daisy Power Line 747. The pellet gun comes with a bit of oil on it and in it--particularly inside the barrel. Instructions tell you to run several cotton patches down the barrel to get rid of the excess oil before you fire it. If you don't have a .177 ramrod, a wood dowel or bamboo skewer works well and it will not scratch or ding the rifling in the barrel.
The front sight is a metal blade and ramp and the rear is plastic and completely adjustable for windage and elevation. My first test firings had the pistol shooting 3" low at 10 meters. It was easy to adjust. The safety is a T-bolt and works fine. There is a metal, ½ circle shroud on it on the side where you push it off of safety--a minor annoyance, but once off you can leave it off. The trigger is wide, smooth, and can be finely adjusted down to a one pound pull. An adjustment tool is packaged with the gun. The checkered grips are fairly large plastic target grips with a great thumb rest and come in left or right hand. Mine fit well and do not slip or creep. They are dark in color and really don't look that bad--they still feel and sound like plastic. Nice Walnut replacements can be ordered online for under $50 from RBGrips.
The bolt is plastic, probably delrin, and is not shaped like a classic T bolt nor does it have a round ball to pull on. It is a bit flat and not really convenient to grab and open up. If one has fat fingers it is not going to be easy to open and cock this piece. Once cocked and loaded the bolt easily opens up if you catch it on anything. The metal cocking device is on the left side of the pistol and is easy to operate (17 pounds pump force). On the outside it is sort of smooth and finished except the line from the casting process. On the inside, exposed when cocking, it is not so smooth--from the casting. You pump it once. More is not better and it could damage the piece. It should propel your pellet at 395 fps. I don't have a chrono so I am guessing that it is close to the 395. When I first received it there was a little wind blowing in my back yard. Using the back of a patio chair for support I did have two, five-shot groupings within one inch. I am told that in time this piece will do better than that--I don't know if it can with me doing the shooting though. I used both Crosman Premium Wadcutters and Gamo Match pellets. For me, they shot about the same. The packaged instructions tell you when and how you must lube and oil parts of this airgun. Never over-lube or grease any airgun.
I have not experienced any problems with this airgun--nothing was loose and the barrel is dead-on center. All things considered, including the price, this mass-produced gun is an accurate shooter, is easy for me to hold, and is worth the money. The finish tends to nick and scratch easily, and may not wear well over time. I hope some third party folks come along and start making some "add-on" improvements for it, like an improved metal bolt with a knob, a rear metal site, and maybe a metal, grooved target trigger or trigger shoe. It is not the quality build of a Beeman/HW but its performance is close for a lot less money.

Summary: Very accurate 2006-08-07
Comment: This is a very well made and accurate target pistol. After getting the sights aligned, I found that it would consistently deliver 1/2" or less groups from 10 meters when supported (on the back of a lawn chair). It's inherent accuracy is probably much better than my un-scientific testing methods.
Although it is a fairly large pistol, the weight is reasonable because they used a lot of plastic. Unfortunately, the grips, trigger and sights are all plastic. They look and function well, however, these components would feel better if they were wood and metal. My other air pistol is a Crossman 1377, and it does not even compare to this model. Even with the heavy use of plastic components, this pistol is light years ahead of the Crossman in both form and function.
A small tool is included to adjust the sights and trigger pressure. Both are easy to adjust and the sights have "tic" marks that help.
Bottom line...a pistol that is quiet to shoot, easy to operate, so accurate that you eventually get bored putting pellet after pellet throught the same hole and costs less than some airsoft replicas. A great buy.

Summary: Good Starter Gun 2006-05-15
Comment: This is a great starter gun for airpistol competitions. My 4-H group uses this one and it is quite accurate. Only complaint could be that it is a little heavy for youth doing a one handed competion.
