Comments:
The Daisy 008 is styled
after the South African Vector CP1. It is designed to shoot both
lead pellets and steel BBs from an 8-shot removable clip
(magnets in the clip hold the BBs in place). The trigger on this
airgun is two-stage and the action is DA only. The trigger pull
is a reasonable 7.25 lb, which isn't bad for a DAO pistol. When
used with good pellets, the Daisy 008 is capable of respectable
accuracy. It's too bad the rear sight isn't adjustable. The gun
feels good in the hand and points well, but could use a little
more weight toward the muzzle. Daisy originally announced this
gun in 2004, but it wasn't released to the market until early
2006.
Performance:
Measurements were made on

The highest velocity measured was 437 fps, the lowest was 412 fps
(average of the 10-shot string was 427 fps). A six shot string
fired with open sights grouped at 0.51". Click the thumbnail below to see a
