September 24, 2008 Daisy Releases New Airgun Celebrating Women In The Outdoors
The wait is over! The world?s oldest and largest manufacturer of air guns and air gun related accessories makes history once again with the release of the Daisy Model 1998 BB gun.
Daisy's model 1998 is a lever action BB gun with a painted solid wood pink stock and forearm which commemorates the 10th Anniversary of Women in the Outdoors, a division of the National Wild Turkey Federation. As an official licensed product of Women in the Outdoors, a portion of the proceeds from this gun will support Women in the Outdoors' programs. These programs help members and non-members alike develop outdoor skills and emphasize the importance of wildlife management and the role of hunters in conservation. The 1998 is a classic-styled BB repeater with saddle ring and pink leather saddle tie. It features a blade and ramp front sight and adjustable open rear sight. This spring air .177 caliber BB gun has a maximum velocity of 350 fps and a 650 shot capacity. This BB rifle is recommended for ages 10 and older with adult supervision, making this gun an excellent training model. The pink Daisy Model 1998 will be available at your local sporting goods retailer in mid October, 2008. Be sure to put this great BB gun on your Christmas list to help raise funds for Women in the Outdoors programs all across the nation.
