Hi mate! I like to plink too, makes a lot of fun...You can not pick a most accurate rifle in your video. Flat nose pellets are designed for low powered short range papertarget shooting. 10-12 meters. On longer range you have to use domed pellets. I tried it many times with all types of air rifles. Light flat nose pellets on longer range is are not consitent. Not even from my FWB300s and Diana mod.75 target match rifles. Try the same with domed pellets on the same distance or flat nose on10 meters paper targets. Then you can choose a winner 😁 Cheers Mate!
Gotcha! I’d read that domed are the best for longer distances and that makes sense. Problem is, out of my 753 the Meisterkugelns have proven to be the most accurate pellets in my testing at 35 yds. Other domed pellets that have worked fantastic in my Benjamin 397S haven’t worked as well as the Meisterkugelns in my 753. 🤷♂️ I’ll rematch these guns again strictly out of hurt pride as I really, really like my 753 and I’ve shot it much better before. I was like a fricking Jedi one afternoon. 😆 I’ve not shot the 2100 a ton but have been impressed so far at how it likes the Meisterkugelns. More testing is in order. 👍
The 2100 is a great value because it's not only cheap to buy, but it's also very accurate. But you already demonstrated that! Lol I bought my 2100 back in 2012 and it's still running strong, no sign of wearing out. I built a wooden stock and pump/forearm for it and it's one of my best squirrel guns (along with the Daisy 880 and 822). Well, they were, until I just recently bought a Beeman qb chief .22. cal pcp. Which of course is at a whole other level of accuracy and power!
I definitely agree, it’s an excellent value! I just checked and they have them back in stock on Amazon for $60 with free shipping & scope. I’m planning to spend more time shooting it as I’m curious to see how it compares with my other guns that are more expensive. I remember in the 80’s they offered a wood stock version on the 2200 Magnum. I wanted one of those but being a kid I didn’t have the money but was able to get the plastic stock version instead which I still have. I like the size and feel of the 2100 better than my two vintage 880’s. I’ve seen quite a few videos with guys having good results with the Beeman Chief. 👍
@@airgunsofalaska Do you remember the old Crosman 766? It came before the 2100 but was basically the same, except for nicer plastic parts and a tapered barrel shroud. I have a '79 model, got it for Christmas when I was 14, still have it. But it sat in the closet for decades after it started leaking. I was able to get a seal kit and repair it a few years ago so it's working great now, but I don't shoot it much since I have the 2100, among other air guns too. And yeah, the Beeman chief is pretty awesome if you get a chance to try one. If you do, don't forget to adjust the trigger to your liking, very easy to do, 3 way adjustable. Set mine to around 8 ounce pull. Super nice!
@@trevorjameson3213 I don’t remember seeing the 766 before. I just looked it up and was surprised by how similar it looked to the 2100. That’s so cool that you still have your gun! I’ve slowly been learning and teaching myself how to repair airguns and just got my ‘86 Daisy 880 back up and running. I’m not familiar with the Beeman Chief. I’ve read/watched good things about it. The adjustable trigger sounds great 👍.
@@TacticalJackalope who’s to say I’m pronouncing it incorrectly? That’s how other airgun videos pronounce it. It’s like you are saying people in the UK pronounce aluminum and garage incorrectly.
@@AIRSTREAMRIFLES Right!? 😄I like shooting less expensive guns but in this video my airgun snobbery totally had me anticipating a predetermined outcome. I was pretty dumbfounded that I didn’t slay the silhouettes with my trusty 753 like I was expecting. I was even thinking what’s the point of this comparison as I was shooting the guns to sight them in with the new scopes. Pretty funny how it turned out🤣.
@@airgunsofalaska it’s like some Airguns that are made in china can out do really strong name brand Airguns with supposedly higher end components well at least is what they say lol I just love the different models forged together different visions of artillery visioned by corporations some are ok but some obviously money driven companies can get a lil greedy but nevertheless watching the sport grow is what I love to see 😎💯🤘👊🏼 thanks guy for your worksmanship very appreciated
I'm watching your videos waiting for a Legacy 1000 "parts" gun from PA that I have to sign for. 😂 As of late, Amazon will no longer ship airguns to my location. 😢 I learned to shoot and work on airguns with the 2100 (766). So it holds a special place in my heart BUT that Daisy is definitely in my future though. It's just a balancing act budgeting money between airguns and fishing.
It’s unfortunate some places have restrictions on airguns. To me that is ridiculous. I really like my 753S. I’ve not been shooting it lately as I’m more interested in seeing how well it can shoot out to longer distances but I’ve got too much snow right now. It’s a really enjoyable gun to shoot. I like my 2100 as well but at the present time I’m preoccupied with my 362 and 367. I feel kinda foolish not knowing about the metal receiver 2100 until just a couple months ago.
I really like my 753. I didn’t think the 2100 had a chance in this shootout at 35 yds. The iron sights on the Daisy are very specialized for 10 meter targets and for the distances I’m currently shooting at they don’t work well for me. I’ve not yet tried very hard to find a front sight post insert but that’s what I want. I’ve got to rematch these guns again. I know I can shoot the 753 better. 😀
Me neither! 😆 The 2100 hurt my pride. The 753 is my darling. It’s currently my favorite gun to shoot and usually I’m awesome with it. While I’m excited about the potential of the 2100 I’m more disappointed that the 753 had issues like that on camera. Not saying I wasn’t to blame but usually hitting silhouettes at 35 yds is pretty easy with the 753. A couple weeks ago I was hitting them shooting offhand. This video didn’t turn out how I expected. 🤷♂️
@@airgunsofalaska I'd guess the 753 is more accurate overall, probably more consistent on velocity than the multipump, but maybe the 2100 is easier to aim? Respect for posting all results not just the ones you like!
@@yoitired it’s going to be fun to do a rematch and see what happens. I liked filming it all in one take. I think the pressure of time and the camera can bring out good and bad qualities in the guns. That seems more reflective of what we experience day to day like if you are going to shoot a pest. This next time though I’ll make sure to presort pellets to make sure there are no deformed ones accidentally being used.
Totally agree! Until I created this channel and learned from viewers I had no idea how much difference there could be shooting various types of pellets through the same gun. I’ve not watched this video in a while but I think a rematch is in order.
No, I don’t think so. The 2100 is comparable to a Daisy 880. The 362 is kind of its own, unique thing. It doesn’t compare very well to a Seneca Dragonfly due to price and features but it is easier to pump than a Dragonfly. The beauty of the 362 is that it can be modded into something different which is a really cool feature!
Oops those things happen in adverse conditions like yours! When the weather above 50 Degrees F we need a rematch. The best Daisy equivalent to the Crosman 2100 is probably the Daisy 901 pumper. The 901 feels more solid than the 880 and most say it's more accurate! The price is a little more than the Daisy 880 too!
These were definitely not the results I expected. 🤷♂️ I figured the 2100 wouldn’t be able to hit the chicken and I’d easily hit all 4 silhouettes with my 753. I’ve shot chickens consistently at that range with my 753 before. I’m wondering if I got nervous, especially as I missed because I could feel,my heart beating. I wanted to film the video all in one take so I put pressure on myself while shooting. But, that’s how things go sometimes and it’s actually pretty cool to see that it’s still the shooter being the most biggest factor in accuracy, not the gun. I’ve been learning quite a bit about 880’s recently and didn’t realize the 901 is very similar to the 880 but uses the traditional style pump handle. I’ve grown pretty fond of the Daisy pneumatics lately and think they are easier to work on compared to Crosman guns simply because they don’t rely on roll pins. I really enjoy shooting pneumatics. I’d say they are likely my favorite style of airgun.
@@gmanneod8085 Maybe? 🤔😄 I like collecting airguns and the cost of a 901 is at the price point I like. I was pretty judgmental towards the modern Daisy airguns with all the plastic but I’m thinking the important parts are still aluminum and steel under a plastic shell and covers so… it’d be cool to see how it compares. 👍
Daisy must not have paid you in your other videos of this rifle so you have decided to negatively showed it again and turned your range bag because of no money from them too.
Perhaps longer, good quality alloy pellets, like the H&N Barracuda Green and Predator GTO, with their domed profile shape & lighter weight would help the 753 at distance, but you are probably pushing it a good ten or fifteen yards past optimal "long range" by shooting it at 35 yards...😅😁👍 Makes sense the more powerful 2100 would have the edge that far out... Speaking of the 753, do you think the gun would be ok for left hand use? You and @WalnutandSteel have gotten me really interested in this gun for some reason...I'd love to be able to pop a red squirrel in the noggin with those peep sights 😁👍😅 If you ever find one, Daisy made a version of this gun called the 953; it had a standard non-LW barrel, fiber optic sights and a five shot clip from the 853 model. It was much less expensive and more of a sporting model I guess. The 953 still had a good reputation for accuracy, and I believe @Libra7 has some videos showing c.1" groups with RWS Hypermax alloys at 25 yards...👍 Personally, I wish they'd also make a single stroke version of the 880, even if it didn't have more power than the 753; put some good sights on it, and I think you'd have a good value there...😁👍 I forget the model specifically, but Daisy did make a target-sighted 880 version back in the 70s....saw it in an old gun book a while back...
I definitely notice some pellet drop at 35 yds but so far it hasn’t been outside of the adjustment of my scope. I plan to do more pellet testing as we get more daylight and the weather improves. I’m really curious to see how good it can do accuracy wise even out to 50 yds. I bet you’ve probably already watched the videos but there is a guy who shoots pest birds with a 753. It appears to work really well for that. He likes it becuase it’s not overpowered and helps to prevent damage to the barns he shoots inside of. But I’ve found squirrels to be really tough. I’d be hesitant to shoot a squirrel with the 753 unless you were really close. Even then you still only have 500 fps. I noticed it doesn’t have a lot of knock down power shooting steel silhouettes compared to my other pneumatics. Daisy offered some really cool pneumatics back in the 70’s and 80’s. It’d be fun to track down the models you are interested in. I think researching and finding older airguns is way more satisfying than just buying a new one. But…. I’ve got a big collection now so I find I’m getting more excited about nostalgia of the older guns that were around when I was a kid. Overall the 753 is really enjoyable to shoot. I don’t see it being an issue to shoot left handed as the stock is ambidextrous and it’s easily loaded from either side. I tend to load it from the left side even though I think it’s primarily configured to load from the right. I wish Daisy would offer some additional models of signal stroke pneumatics as well. Maybe they’ll see a resurgence of interest? Seems like with everything, popularity goes in cycles and what was old becomes new again.
@@airgunsofalaska Thanks for the feedback dude! 👍😃 I think I did see some of those videos you mentioned...👍 I hear you on the squirrels, they are tough for sure; that said, I had no trouble dispatching red squirrels with my old Crosman 357 and 1077, which have similar power to the 753. With the harder alloys, I think the Daisy would work...like you say, you'd have to keep the distances fairly short though... I hear you on the vintage stuff too...I missed out on some good deals on some about twenty years ago...😅😂
