I am looking into getting my family involved in air rifle target shooting, but the coach didn't like the 853's and mentioned another rifle brand. I could have sworn she said Evanix. Are they considered target rifles? I looked them up and they don't seem to come with sights!

Does anyone know about these?

What type of target shooting are interested in precision, silhouette, sporter, or hunting? The Evanix as I am just guessing from the specs wouldn't be accurate enough for precision as the velocity and triggers are set to high to be a good precision rifle. They wouldn't be legal as a sporter rifle as their is a dollar limit would be more then the $500 limit. Scopes aren't allowed in either precision or sporter, so I am guess we are talking about shooting silhouette or other animal targets.
We are looking at precision shooting. 10 meter etc. We have never done it before. As a scout adviser I have shot precision small bore rifle at this range, but we are just now looking to join this CMP affiliated club.
Do you have a price point that you are trying to stay within, or do you know what type of air rifle you like (i.e. PCP, single stroke, CO2, etc)? I am guessing your coach suggested Avanti. They are in the Daisy product line. Avanti has many target rifles and are used by many clubs.
