This pistol proves you don’t need a pedigreed barrel for accuracy.

All three models are identical as far as the action is concerned. The 717 is the base model. The 747 has a Lothar Walther barrel. The 777 was discontinued a few years ago, having Lothar Walther barrel, wooden grips and adjustable metal sights. The 722 also the same as the 717 except in .22 cal.

These guns are very accurate, very quiet and a joy to shoot. In my opinion a great choice for someone wanting to try 10 meter competition.

 Daisy 717 was released in 1979 and initially thought to be something of a toy. Until it started winning target competitions (against FWB 65's and such like pistols) and one renowned shooter (Don Nygord) championed this pistol. Nygord recommended two mods: an adjustable trigger and uprated rear sights. The trigger is altered via a screw you have to drill and tap into the grip frame yourself which alters the contact point with the sear, allowing the trigger to be set far lighter than the 2lbs standard. 500 grams was achieved. 

Today I shoot it from 25 feet off hand.
