Daisy Poweline 853 .177cal any thoughts?
1I was running around today, went into a small town and looked through some shops. There was an Daisy Powerline 853 .177cal sitting in a rack. I asked the lady if she knew how old it was and if it worked. She couldn't get a hold of the shop owner, so I didn't get many answers. They were asking under $150 for it. It had general wear, but since I'm not that familiar with it can someone tell me about these rifles and might it be worth a visit. On the off chance it doesn't function can they be fixed or is it a disposable...or as my wife thought a wall ornament? Does have a nice wood stock, worn but still okay. Anyway thoughts appreciated! (Are the 853's by Avanti? Is it US made?)
