Daisy Adult Red Ryder BB Rifle

Find something better, because while it's a cool-looking gun, it doesn't perform well at all. It's ok for paper targets at close range, nothing else.

Pros
Nice box

Cons
Power: it's unbelievably weak. This is nowhere near as powerful as the one I had as a kid. I have middle-sized wild rabbits on my lawn eating my plants, and pesky squirrels. I don't want to kill them, just annoy them until they stay away. Twice now I have hit a rabbit 4-5 times before it will decide it would rather go away! Both rabbits would twitch, move a foot away, and resume eating. I may as well be throwing BBs at them by hand. I checked that the BBs were the right size, in case they were too small and air was escaping around them, but no, it's just very, very weak. I wanted to return it, but the shipping and "restocking fees" are so high that it would almost be the cost of the gun ($39 on sale). $10 to ship it to me, but $20 to ship it back plus $10 restocking. Its simply a bad gun, and bad deal. Customer service was not good - doubt I will buy from here again.

Pros
Easy to use and a whole lot of fun!

Pros
functions well, accurate, EXCELLENT FOR YOUNGSTERS

Cons
wish it was more powerful, but ok

I never had a BB gun when I was a kid, so when I saw this adult size Red Ryder, I HAD to buy it. I have NOT been disappointed!

Pros
Fun for shooting icicles off the eaves of my house.

Super fun for this kid and kids of all ages.

Pros
Fantastic for some indoor plinking or outdoor if your neighbors don't mind. Accurate at ten yards and inexpensive to shoot. I can actually recycle BB's from my trap. Brings back memories when dad and I would shoot in the basement during winter. I'll have to invite some buddies over for some friendly target games

Pros
Easy to load and use.

Cons
Stock a bit flimsy(small)

This is a hefty air gun, especially compared to the 1999.

Pros
1938ARR larger stock is great! Air gun shoots hard and straight. Lasso Scope mount needed 1/8 inch spacer washer under rear for elevation. Windage dead on. 1-1/2 inch groups at 40 feet using 4x32 Scope in 1 inch high mount 4 screw rings on the 3/8 inch dovetail rail. Love this Air Gun!

Cons
Put an inexpensive Daisy front fiber optic sight on it.

Looks great, shoots great, a lot of fun! Seriously, it has been a blast just doing some target practice. I would absolutely recommend the Red Ryder as well as Daisy. Thanks!

Pros
Classic look, nostalgic, reliable

Buy it good to use in basement or garage.

Pros
everything good about rifle

Cons
No cons

I plan to add a bipod to the rifle. There is a company called Buck Rail that makes a bipod mount, among other attachments, for the Red Ryder.

Pros
I have no idea what happened to the ones that me and my brother got for Christmas when we were kids. So, I decided that this Christmas I would gift myself the adult version. My son, a US Marine Sargent and myself had a blast when it arrived.

Cons
The scope that came with it leaves a bit to be desired, so we kept the scope mount, but added a Bushnell 3-9x40mm rim fire scope on it. Now it is awesome!
