Daisy Classic Red Ryder 1938 BB Gun
February 20, 2013
![]()
This is a very nicely built and performing BB gun. It only resembles the one I bought in 1943 and took good care of. The webpage showing closeup photos, looks rustic enough. The one I received has a refined appearance like the other models advertised.
Pros:Goof performance.Cons:The gun doesn't look original like it is supposed to look as illustrated in closeup photos on its webpage. |

I never had one of these as a kid, and always wondered why they were inexpensive then as now.
Recently, I purchased one for my daughter hoping she would appreciate the rifle, and she did. She has watched the movie "A Christmas Story" every year since she was little and loves it as most people do.
I wasn't sure a girl would appreciate getting one of these but I was wrong. She loves it. Eventually you have to own a Daisy Red Ryder, don't fight it!
Pros:Light and fun. |

Mine as well as many peoples first gun: simple, light, and fun. It's been 12 years since I last shot mine, so dad was cleaning out the old gun safe and there it was, with a few BB's still inside. They must have been as rusty as the gun itself, I thought to myself "this thing wont fire anymore, too old and worn out." But I aimed it at a dirt hill behind the house and pulled the trigger. Twelve years had gone by with no attention what so ever, and it still shot. That more than anything, tells you of the quality of this gun.
Pros:Light Cheap Fun Good teaching weapon MemoriesCons:Finding someplace to keep it now that I have moved onto better and wont get rid of it. |

For the Price

What a brilliant accurate little gun, wonderful for the grand kids. They still need granddad to cock it they can shoot it on their own without any help though. The looks on their faces when they hit the inner rings are great!! They ask if they can shoot the cowboy gun, it is a winner with all of them.
Pros:The price and for the price real wood and metal!!! Accurate.Cons:Plastic trigger that is it!! |

I shot this rifle over at my friends house all the time it has never bored me. Its a great price for a great gun. For plinking you can't go wrong with this rifle. Do keep in mind the FPS is low so this is NOT a hunters rifle. But if your bored and you want to shot something thats cheap to buy an own, buy this rifle
Pros:Lot of fun Easy to use Large "magazine" capasityCons:The coking handle feals a little weak. |

Greatest Begginer Gun on My Opinion
December 10, 2011
![]()
I bought my younger brother one of these he is 9 and i was just showing him how to shoot and i wanted to see how strong it really is so i backed up about 30 yards and i tested the distance and i hit a milk jug so it does have some power but it barely hit it and in my opinion this is the best begginer gun ever. I can probably kill something if given the chance with this thing. But my brother is now getting bigger and i would like to buy him a bigger gun to grow with him so please answer my question in the questions and answers section!
Pros:Great Gun Amazing Accuracy for the Price Highly doubted Capable of killing Small Pests Great for Small ChildrenCons:Shows wear over time Doesnt accept Pellets Isnt strong enough for long range hunting |

Great for plinking
December 8, 2009

THis gun is amazing for plinking around in your back yard. It has a range of about 200ft (not accurate at this range). I have had mine for 7 years and it still works perfectly. One of the things i love about the red ryder is the lever action function, it makes it fun and easy to shoot and this gun hardly ever miss fires. It holds a lot of BBs so u can extend your fun! If your thinking about buying this gun just go ahead and buy it totaly worth 39 bucks.

This gun is great but to all you people saying it can't kill a bunny... it is because it is not made for that. This gun is made for dad's to teach there sons how to handle a real gun because it feels like the real deal. It is not made to hunt if you want something to hunt with look into the more expensive break barrels... i recomend a gamo but i just wanted to say this gun did what it was meant to do

April 15, 2008

Please, please, please, make a "soft air" version of this gun. EXACT same form and function, just plastic bb's! bb guns are a "firearm" in NJ. Guns that shoot plastic bb's are not.
Thanks!

I quallified official National Rifle Association NRA Pro-Marksman with the Red Ryder Model 1938B 10 year old's youth rifle at the age of 63. This was one of the first times I had fired live ammo since I qualified with the 30-06 M1 Grande rifle in army basic training almost 45 years ago. Three cheers for the Red Ryder BB gun.

I still have mine...the 2nd version from about 15 years ago. Unfortunately the cheap little plastic bridge on the back site is missing. The rear site fell off but I glued it back on. I only wish the gun had a bit more power, like the one you used to pump from the barrel length-wise. It was a real squirril killer! The safety is a nice touch the old ones didn't have and thankfully the stocks are still "real" wood! Get one.

Answer:
No.By Andrew from westbrookville New York on December 10, 2011
By Staff on December 29, 2011
Answer:
Hello Andrew,You would have a hard time killing any animal with the red ryder since it is a bb gun. Pellet guns hit much harder. The Gamo Recon is a youth pellet rifle with fairly low FPS (525) that is still powerful enough to kill small animals like squirrels. The rifle is a bit smaller than adult rifles so your son would have no problem using it.
The gun is $75 which unfortunately is a bit higher than your desired $50.
I hope this helped
