Daisy Adult Red Ryder Rifle

No losing an eye here but this is of great quality. Accurate in aiming, easy to use and looks very well built.

I grew up with Daisy BB guns shooting minnows in our backyard canal, and 60 years later I bought my second one for different reasons. I now have a farm with lots of livestock, including two new Great Pyrenees dogs that I am about to let loose from their fenced area. However, I know that they will be going after our chickens right away. This BB gun will hopefully work fine to discourage them from attacking the chickens without hurting them more than just a little sting. My neighbor uses one and encouraged me to get one. It was easy to open the package and load BBs. It says it holds 650 BBs, and it's probably right. I stopped loading after about 100 or so. The loading process is simple enough, but I need to find a better way. Pouring the BBs from the bottle spout doesn't work well. The BBs get clogged at the small opening. It seemed to work better by pouring BBs into my hand and cupping it just right over the loading spot. Cocking it is simple and sweet. I held the rifle upwards and cocked it, and it loaded and fired every time. You can cock it with or without the safety on, and it both loads and fires perfectly either way. I fired my first shot at a plastic bucket about 25 feet away, and it hit it and bounced off. I fired many more and hit the target. I tried firing about 50 feet, and the ballistic curve is somewhat significant. I'm not an expert, but I would guess that at 50 feet the BB dipped at least an inch. At 350 fps, I'm guessing that's about right. Somewhere between .5 inch and 1.5 inch at 50 feet. I plinked at plastic buckets, plywood sheets, metal poles, and a doghouse metal roof. The BBs all bounced off. I got a good indication of the actual force of the BB when I hit the metal pole. Just like astronomers use the intensity of light to measure star distances, the intensity of the ping sound of the BB on the pole about 10 feet away was an indication of the energy of the BB. It was quite a ping. I would not want to be hit by one of these from 10 feet away. This gun, at this price, is definitely worth the money. I recommend it to anyone looking to own a good BB gun that will perform.

Great BB gun, Bought one for my 48 yr old just to replace old one I wore out after he left the nest, Liked his adult size so good I purchased another a year later for myself-Very accurate shooting bb gun by Daisy-I will soon be 84 Thanks ,Amazon

Adult size is nice. Big kid toy for camping. Fun, fun, fun. Low velocity; not a pellet gun so lower your expectations. Price is competitive. Fast shipping.

Decent product. Doesn’t load all the time, have the crank it while holding rifle upright.

Not only is it a blast from my past, but it performs with precision. Often, we have wild critters, mostly squirrels, that get into our yard and feed, so a little backside pop reminds them to go elsewhere. We’re far enough away that it pings without wounding them or worse. It’s also fun for to use with a paper target, teaching the grandchildren how to aim and shoot. Wuality, lightweight, easy to reload.

Just what I wanted. The aim is accurate. No scope needed.

Creeping marauders beware ! My back yard , fence and shed are well protected . The wife does not appreciate the spurs and says my hat is stupid and to grow up . But what does she know ? This blued steel beauty works just fine . I’m writing this as I here her cussing up a storm down in the basement fixing the furnace again . I should get me a horse and hit the trail .
