Daisy PowerLine 880 Air Rifle vs Gamo Swarm Maxxim 10x Gen 2

Buy the Daisy 880 if you want a light, low-effort pumper for indoor targets, plinking and light pest control, and you don't mind pumping between shots. Buy the Gamo Swarm Maxxim 10x Gen 2 if you want a self-loading break-barrel with more power, a better trigger and a quieter shot for hunting and longer-range pesting. The Daisy is plastic-stocked and basic but has a huge owner base and a long track record; the Gamo costs more up front but adds a 10-shot magazine, a gas piston that shoots in cold weather and a three-year warranty. Owners of both praise accuracy for the class; Gamo owners more often mention the cocking effort and the rifle's weight.

• Choose the Daisy 880 if you want a light, simple multi-pump rifle for backyard targets and short-range pest control on a tight budget.
• Choose the Gamo Swarm Maxxim 10x Gen 2 if you want fast follow-up shots, more power and a smoother trigger for hunting and longer-range pesting.
