Good Points

The larger calibre pellets are very good for knock down power.
Wooden stock gives it a realistic look.
Very accurate from 20-30 feet.
Can kill any animal as large as a dog.

Bad Points

Poor design, the gun in my opinion looks ugly.
The pellets are hard to load and sometimes gets crushed when cocking.
Too much pumping and some times your palm gets pinched.
The gun is very heavy because of the wooden stock.

General Comments

I like the fact that I could pretty much take any varmint out if I wanted to using the Daisy Powerline 22x. The trigger pull is a little on the heavy side, because when pulling the trigger your gun moves left or right. Accuracy is very good when you get the scope dialed in, and wad cutter pellets are the best for accuracy.

I bought my gun from WalMart for around $100, but if I could do it over I would get the GAMO SHADOW 1000.

    This rifle is nowhere near the power to take down anything larger than a dog, don't even think about trying it. You will only give it a severe wound. Stick to small game only, be responsible with your rifle.

    Dokwatson is correct. This gun doesn't truly have the power to humanely hunt and kill small game. Blackbirds and small furries like chipmunks are about it. Killing larger animals is of course possible, but will most likely take several shots. To effectively hunt small game like rabbits and fox squirrels you need a gun that's rated at least 900 fps in .177 cal. or 750 fps. in .22 cal. The Daisy Powerline 22x only shoots in the 525 to 575 fps. range. Underpowered guns will often cause undue pain and suffering to critters. I recall as a kid shooting a fox squirrel with a Crossman 760. It took about 10 shots to finally kill it and bring it down. The squirrel suffered a great deal of pain as it scrambled through the branches getting hit again and again. When it was over I felt terrible, and quickly understood the importance of hunting with the right equipment.The only pump pneumatic gun that even comes close to being of sufficient power are the Sheridan/Benjiman guns. The .177 cal. gets 800fps. and the .22 gets about 625 fps. In my opinion this is still a bit underpowered. If you want to hunt with an air rifle, get a spring piston gun like a Gamo, RWS, or Beeman. These companies all offer guns that shoot at 950 to 1250 fps. in .177 cal. and 750 to 950 fps. in .22 cal. They cost a bit more, but it's worth it. Hunting small game and pests is fine, but let's do it as humanely as possible.

    The Daisy Powerline 22x IS powerful enough to kill a squirrel or a rabbit. It took you forever to kill a fox squirrel with a 760 because it is a .177 caliber. You should never hunt small game with a .177 because there is a chance it will pass right through the animal.

    The .22 calibers, even at lower (550) FPS can kill small game, from dove to rabbit with one shot, if you hit them in the head. And that is pretty easy with a good scope. The .22 delivers far more power than a .177.

    Another review by another idiot. Tsk Tsk.

    I believe Daisy has a blurb about hunting with not only the 22x but the 901 as well. Well both are a hoot to shoot no doubt, but it sure is a shame that the hype is taken as fact.

    We who have been shooting a while (ahem) know better than to trust this type of blather.
    Unfortunately, it is the young gunners these days that are causing all the trouble.
