    Good Points: Powerful
    accurate (short distance)
    about 60 shots /CO2


    Bad Points: reliability


    General comments: This Daisy Powerline 617x is a great gun! the first one I bought though broke somehow and so did my friends. The O ring inside the pressure compartment got knocked out of alignment on both guns allowing the gas to just SHOOT out very fast. My new one has had none of these problems and shoots great.

    The Daisy Powerline 617x is a decent inexpensive gun. It's definitely powerful, ~430fps for pellets & ~480fps for BBs (CO2 repeaters don't go much beyond this). Accuracy is good up to 30', and it can plink even further. Double action feels alright, but in single action the trigger feel is poor. The hammer also wants to overcock. The gun's mostly plastic, so it feels pretty cheap, but having dropped it several times I can say it's pretty durable. However, watch it when you're cleaning. The barrel ...

    Overall as i said the 617x is a good beginner gun and i recomend it to people wishing to take up the sport however i wouldn't recomend it to a profesional because it's acuracy could be better and the pistol tends to jam up.

    It'S a very good gun tho. I can shoot a crab apple from 25 feet, and I'm not good at shooting. Nice power. Those 6 shots go fast.

    The Daisy Powerline is definitely the best bb gun ive ever bought (the best pistol). This gun has great power for the price at 485 its one of the most powerful guns on the market for under 100$.acurracy i can hit cans at 60 ft. Pretty durable ive dropped it a few times nothing happens. And for those people that say it pops up.. it doesnt as long as you line up the rotary clip.

    Yeah, it's a fantastic gun, so don't let those bad points of mine let you down or anything, they could just certainly be improved on. Especially the rotary action. It's pretty unreliable if you look at exactly how it actually works. And mine stopped working correctly; the gun spins the clip to chamber the round, fires it, and then when you let go of the trigger, the mechanism that spins the clip goes back to its resting position for the next shot, but when mine does so, it catches on the clip an ...

    Ok so I just got this gun a while ago and I have to thank Pyramid Air for the shipping, it was great and fast, it came 3-5 days early. :) When I first held this gun I knew it was special, for an incredible price of $60 this gun is a must have! Usually a gun this strong is atleast $150. So anyway way after shooting plastic cups from about 30 yards, and the BBs going (these cups were very strong, a 315FPS gun could not even go through one side from about an inch away they weren't the same cups but ...

    I definately loved this gun, well first I have to thank Pyramid Air for shipping, it said the gun would come on Feb 18th-21st or something like that but it came on the 115th. Now lets talk about power. I don't see how this gun ONLY shoots 485FPS! I shot a plastic cup with my 315FPS airsoft gun from about an inch or less away and it only put a dent in it. Now this gun I shot a plastic cup from about a good 30-50 yards away and still went through both sides! The aim on this gun is very good, the o ...

    Being a daisy I at least expected it to FIRE. These clips just do not seem to work!

    I like this little pistol. I'd like the CO2 twist key to be a little less obvious, but it's handy. A lot of people seem to have trouble with the fixed sights, I haven't. You will have to use a little of what we used to call Ky windage, but the pistol is pretty accurate. Use pellets, stay away from BB's if you want accuracy.

    For the money (especially )good buy. I would recommend this pistol.

    I bought this gun for personal safety use, as an 18 year old that can't quite get a hold of a Concealed permit until 21 without any millitary background. I could hit a bottlecap from 10 yards off of a table. The sight is not adjustable, but it doesn't really need to be with how accurate the gun is in the first place. This gun is great for its price especially...no more 1008 for meh :-D

    This Daisy Powerline 617x pistol is a great buy, the only problem is the opening hatch which has tendency to pop up when firing. However, instead of returning this well crafted airgun. I have found a way to keep this from happening without effecting the gun's performance. Simply open the latch so that the clip is exposed, then look near the hinge and you will see the spring that assists the opening action, gently pull it out with tweezers and you're good to go. Just open the latch manually whe ...

    This is a fun gun, no doubt about it. I am usually leery of CO2 guns, and I bought this Daisy Powerline 617x on a whim, probably because it looked like a Beretta.
    At first heft I was pleased that the gun had some weight to it. On further inspection I realized this was due to the metal frame and inner workings of the gun, which may be cheap metal, but are at least better than plastic.
    I was also pleased when shooting the gun - it is remarkably accurate. It's a "compromise" gun, designed for bo ...

    Accuracy:
    I bought Daisy Powerline 617x a month ago. A good performer from day one. I bought it for self-defense as I currently live in South Africa. But now I enjoy using it for fun. This machine is very accurate. I'm not at all a good shooter and never used a gun before. Last week I tried to hit coke can from 10 meters away and I could easily hit them. Now I tried to hit 25 meters away. I got 2 out of 3 shots and one right in the center. I used the TRUGLO fiber optic front sight and it's very ...

    I bought my Daisy Powerline 617x from a local well known gun shop it look good and is very light, but that's were the good points end. Mine would not fire and the barrel kept opening when I fired it. Also the index is not right. They are no good for match card shooting, ok for plinking e.g shooting cans of a wall no good for serious shooters. They are quite pricey for what they are. if you are a serious shooter in competitions I would not recommend this pistol. But if you are just wanting have ...

    This Daisy 617x pistol is the first CO2 powered pistol I have ever owned. I am a genuine handgun shooter with several pistols and revolvers of differt makes and calibers. I am surprised and very pleased with both the power and accuracy of the Daisy. It has got to be the best choice for anyone who cannot afford the expesive target models available. I love the gun and use it for shooting pesty pigeons, and I rarely ever miss a shot. Equally accurate with BBs, round nose pellets, or high performanc ...

    I bought the Daisy Powerline 617x at Wal-mart after my son got one, His worked great! Mine was a dog. I couldn't hit anything and I'm not that bad a shot.
    I returned it and bought another one hoping something was wrong with the first one.
    The second one worked great right out of the "box". I am hitting pop cans at 25 yds consistently.
    I think the 617X is a very good air pistol for the price. if you get the right one.

    I got the Daisy Powerline 617x gun last September. At first I thought that it was going to be weak but after I used my thoughts changed. The gun could shoot through centimetre thick glass vases without shattering them. This gun looks like the actual beretta f 92 also has a good feel in the hand (solid). The co2 tanks can be left in for months without leakage and is very accurate and nothing should break.

    lets talk power the 617x is one of the most powerful pistols out their. I mean at 425fps+ ...

    I have only (5) air rifles and pistols and the Daisy Powerline 617x was my 3rd CO2 pistol purchase. I was first impressed with its feel and attractive design. I was then surprised by its ability to contain its CO2. NO LEAKS!! That was an impressive design feature considering the price.

    The power is good. I compared it to a new Crosman PumpMaster 760brd that I purchased one day after my Daisy 617x. Surprisingly, it penetrated a piece of plywood equal to that of the 600fps Crosman rifle.
