I am interested in buying a good quality BB/pellet gun for backyard plinking
(I live in the city limits, so it's illegal for me to fire my .30-06 or 12
gauge, for some reason :-) ).  I looked over some of the "pump" guns in a local
sporting goods store, but they all have a lot of plastic, artificially large
barrels to make them look like firearms, etc.  I also noticed that the top
of the line Daisy (at least the most expensive one at this store) wasn't even
a pump.  My impression has been that the pump guns develop more power than
the others.  Is this true?  Other things I am interested in are accuracy,
adjustability of the sights, and overall quality.  Price is definately a
factor, but less of one than the other aspects.  One other thing I noticed
was that most of them have stocks made to fit an eight year old.  Can anyone
steer me in the right direction.
