The innovative, ratcheted lever helps protect young shooters from the annoying lever snap-back noticed on some other lever-action rifles. The ratcheted lever remains in position until it’s fully cocked before allowing it to gently return to the stock--no matter how far it’s cocked. This BB air rifle is both lightweight and dependable, making it the right choice for developing lifelong shooting and marksmanship skills and for teaching safety.

This gun brings back the memories of being a kid and getting your first Bob gun. It is just a basic, have fun gun that can be appreciated by young and old alike. The only reason it did not get five stars, was because I feel they did the gun a great injustice by scrimping on a few cents and putting a plastic cocking lever on it instead of steel like the older guns had.
Pros
Just a basic fun gunn
Cons
Plastic cocking handle
I tried zeroing this rifle at about 40' and despite adjusting the sights I could not get it to fire less than approx. 3' high at 40'. Penetration of a cardboard box at 15' is good for one side with the bb left in the box. When the amount of BB's gets low you have to rock the rifle up and down (just like the old Daisies) to get it to load.
Pros
Price and construction.
Cons
Just as inaccurate as the old Daisy air rifles of the 50's.
It looks more like a real lever-action firearm than a toy. The wood stock is blond-finished with visible wood grain. The major assemblies are bolted together. Because it looks and feels like it's built well, I gave this little airgun more of a chance than many other reviewers. I'm glad I did! Now that I've swabbed out the crap they greased the shot tube with at the factory and run about 500 bbs through it, my accuracy with it is very close to my Daisy Red Ryder and it keeps getting better. It's got a bigger punch that makes backyard (and indoor) plinking MUCH more satisfying. Today, I shot a couple #2 pencils with it from 15 feet. Now, that's fun!
Pros
Power! I don't have a chrony to measure it, but I shoot them one after the other and can tell from the damage inflicted on the target that the Marlin is stronger than the Daisy. Rips through aluminum cans, buries a lot deeper into a telephone book backstop. Classic lever action is fast and feels natural. Competition is good! Daisy had changed the cocking lever to plastic; I guess Red Ryders were lasting too long. Then Crosman strikes a deal with Marlin to sell a "Cowboy" bb carbine, and they make the lever steel again. Buy it so Crosman will keep selling it. I'm getting another.
Cons
It's true that it's harder to cock than the Daisy, but that's why it thumps instead of plinks. The sights seem to be harder to use than the Daisy, judging by the number of people who say that can't hit with it. To me, the front post is a bit thin and the rear notch is a bit wide. The trigger pull could be bit lighter. But, I can hit a pencil with it at 15 ft, so... More risk of ricochet due to higher velocity. No kidding; please wear eye protection!!
this is a fun little bb gun. all the pieces are wood and metal, a little small. the lever is extremely heavy, would be hard for a child to use
Pros
fun
quiet
real wood
metal
Cons
heavy lever
great presant for my grandson and i to spend time together,reminds me of mine 60 yrs ago
Great little "remember when" BB gun......I bought two, one for me with the grandsons and I gave one to a friend with a huge Marlin rifle collection. It brought tears to his eyes!
good for hunting too me.
this gun is amazing!i killed two doves with it. it is easy to load to.
Question?
Login to ask someone who bought this product.I am curious if it is a good bb gun overall. I may get it for my cousin jakes birthday. He is going to be 10. I want his brother alex to be able to shoot it. They are both very small, about 4'2 on average. They don't have the best judgment ever but okay judgement/maturity. Would it be safe a safe for them and a suitable size?
asked Zachary WilliamsYes it would be safe but with close supervision it should be treated like any other weapon.
mikeCan it shoot pellets of 177. Cal too?
asked BrendanNo. .177 BBs only.
Douglas from USAthis rifle shoots only bb's.this rifle is basically the same as the daisy red ryder,unfortunately the newer daisys have been cheapened greatly since the one i bought for my son 20 years ago. the marlin has raised the bar and built a very solidly built rifle. my grandson who is 7 loves it and can operate it with no problems. has more power than the daisy...great little rifle for the beginning shooter to learn safe operation of a fire arm....
Garry from USANo, 177 cal BB's only.
BillKIs this stock short enough for a 6 year old of average size?
asked BarbaraI would think it should be and it is light enough. The tail stock is 10.5" with the overall rifle measuring approx. 35".
Bill KAbsolutely. My four year old can almost hold the stock on his shoulder by himself. A six year old should do just fine. Remember to provide close supervision and to treat it with the same respect and safety as with any firearm. These lessons learned early on will serve them well through life.
Douglas from USAI personally feel that it would be of okay size but the action of cocking it may be tough for a six year old.
Wiley from USAWhere do you load the BB's?
asked elijah from USADoes it come with ammo?
asked paulaAmmo will need to be bought separately. It doesn't come with any. Don't forget to buy safety glasses too.
