“Bought the 1000Rx just to keep my eye in for deer...”
Written on: 27/08/2010
Bought the 1000Rx just to keep my eye in for deer season but the trigger is truly awful. When my teenage son tried to take a shot he was convinced the safety was still on. If you ignore the effort to pull the trigger then the rest of the package is ok in that it has loads of power and can be quite accurate. Compared to an Airarms Tx 200 it is junk but that gun costs a lot more. In the end I sold the Winchester and bought a Gamo CFX, this also has a poor trigger but it is leagues better then...

Written on: 11/06/2010 by coptocook (2 reviews written)
I am a former sergeant US Air Force Security Police and a US Marshal, I have taught explosives and small arms for over 40 years. I like this Winchester Daisy 1000X air rifle. The stock and finish beats my RWS model 93, so does the velocity of the pellet. The sights are great, (I do not use scopes) Since I have shot everything from a BB gun to a rocket launcher, the recoil is nothing. Accurate, nice velocity of 1,000 fps, and tapered stock fits great and the stock finish is beautiful... (read more)

Written on: 02/05/2010 by Gypsy Rover (1 review written)
I Have used my rifle for rabbit, turkey and geese. I have found the gun very accurate. I have never tried it with a scope as I don't use scopes on my hunting rifles. If you have to shoot more than 30 yards then you need to spend more time out in the field. The trigger pull is a little hard but you get used to it. It is a little hard to cock after a few shots but there is no reason to hurry anyway. If you put a little oil on your pellet it sounds just like a 22. (read more)

Written on: 30/01/2010
Very hard trigger pull makes it hard to shoot accurate. It's a beast to cock and is very noisy. Mine came right out of the box brand new and didn't shoot worth a darn. I mounted a bushnell scope on it and ran out of verticle adjustment due to the barrel not being in line with the rest of the gun. That is to say that the barrel has a cant. It droops downward a couple degrees. When using the open sights it was hard to contain a pattern on the target due to the poor trigger assembly.Just plain... (read more)

I have 2 of these AGs. One is the Powerline 1000S synthetic and the other Winchester 1000WS wooden stock. Both are Turkish Hatsan manufacture. Right from the box, these are rough cocking and have massive recoil and springer "twang". The triggers are less than adequate. They are beasts.
They are also very good candidates for a home tune/lube. I have disassembled both of mine, dressed out the main spings, added polished washers, touched up the trigger and used moly lube everywhere needed. Both...

The Daisy 1000 is a bargain when you understand the issues. I could not get the scope to stay at zero would always move.

On a whim I found one at a Bass Pro Shop Outdoor World For $74.99 with a 4x32 scope.
It is hard to cock and the trigger is not that light but following some polishing and modifications I found on the web I've been able to remove all of the creep and half the trigger pull effort. It still cocks hard.

Now it shoots great, but I nearly ruined it, and Daisy does NOT sell spare parts!

Picked one up for 50.00 used, has a BSA 4x32 AO Airgun Scope on it.
Couldn't deal with the trigger , but liked it's accuracy off a bench at 10m.
Replace the trigger let-off screw with a slightly longer one. Mine was not even been touching the sear when fully turned in.
Take the trigger apart, paying CLOSE attention to what goes where, it's all held together with E-clips and spring tension. Remove 2 coils only from long trigger tension spring. No more than 2 or you risk too weak a spring....

Over all, buck for buck, you can't go wrong with this Winchester Daisy 1000x gun. After I sighted it in, I have never missed a shot. One shot - one kill, some at over 80 yards.
I think the gun is built very solid. It is one of the lowest priced 1000+ FPS guns you can get and it out preforms most of the high priced guns.

The Winchester Daisy 1000x has very good wood work. It's powerful and accurate, however, it is definitely not for beginners. Unfortunately it has a plastic trigger and sights and has heavy pull on the break barrel but you get compensated by the power and accuracy. Too bad it is not available in .22. It would have made a very good 800 fps shooter. Great value for the money. (read more)

The Winchester Daisy 1000x air rifle is very accurate! Remember, don't hold it tight against your shoulder. It is heavy, and may take a while to break in, but after about 650 shots accuracy gets a lot better. It takes a while to sight-in, but overall it's a good gun. Remember to let it recoil if you want 1 hole groups at 15 yards. If you hold the gun tight you will have 6 inch groups. (read more)

The Winchester 1000x is a good rifle for the money. The joints can get stiff when you first go to break the barrel. You can put some grafite on the little triangular pieces that hold the barrel in place. When I first took the rifle out of the box I noticed that it was a little front heavy but not to bad. It will not make that much of a diffrence but I would not put a muzzle brake on it. If you realy want to put one on you can take off the butt pad and drill out a whole and then put in a lead...

When I first got the Winchester Daisy 1000x I was very disappointed; it took a good while to sight in and the trigger was ridiculously stiff.

Written on: 12/02/2006
You're right about the trigger, it's heavy, but after some use, it gets better and almost doesn't affect accuracy. But why does almost everyone writing a review on winchester 1000x complain about the scope rings and the scope? I mean, a rifle is by itself, scope rings and a scope have absolutely nothing to do with the rifle. You must NOT put scope rings on this rifle, only strincly a good single-piece mount. Rings are just not adequate for this magnum rifle. With a single-piece mount it simply rocks. It can shoot 1/2" groups with the JSB or Gamo Pro Magnum pelelts at 30 yards. In my opinion this is a very good accuracy for a magnum airrifle, and you can't beat the price too. Anyway, I think it's plain wrong to give an estimate of the rifle based on the scope rings that don't belong there. Buy a good scope mount for $50 or so, and it'll shoot as it should all day long.

Written on: 13/02/2006
Chad,
Overall, I agree with you evaluation of the gun as it comes out of the box; it DOES have a RIDICULOUSLY hard trigger out of the box, and if you mount a scope, it WILL bound all over the place. And loading the riffle IS HARDER than on any other springer I have shot. And the recoils IS stronger than a .22 riffle.
BUT (and a BIG BUT), I also agree that the gun is accurate (you say "fairly accurate"; I would say "accurate"). It is also CHEAP.
Let me tell you what I did on mine to fix the problems:
<br>
Trigger pull: I first used a graphite based grease, but later moved on to polish the metalic part that the plastic trigger moves (it is the one that holds the spring back) on the face that physically touches the plastic trigger part. I did this by sanding it with 240 grid sandpaper, and making sure to maintain angle so that all edges remaind sharply cornered. I then removed the rear spring that pulls the trigger back to position (it is really redundant, as the other spring in the trigger mechanism will do the same thing, and removing the second spring reduces the trigger pull). I took advantage of having the trigger mechanism unasambled to remove the safety mechanism (I mean, this is a springer; it is not like you would carry it around loaded, because you would end up ruining the spring, and the position of the safety is really a problem if you have a scope, especially considering the automatic safety feaure). Now, regarding trigger pull length, well, I am still figuring out what to do about this... But it is not too bad; its comparable to the Gamo trigger pull length. Just takes a little getting used to.
<br>
Scope: the problem in this gun is not really the scope rings, but the dovetail rail itself. At least it was on mine (mine is the one made in Brazil, with the wooden stock). The dovetails wee really 10mm instead of 11mm, so what I did is that (1) I purchased a one piece B-Square mount, then (2) I placed aluminum tape (not duct tape, but the one that is shiny and about 1 or 2mm think) over the dovetails, mounted the scope mount, and cut the excess tape off with an exacto knife. I installed a BSA 4-7X 30mm Air Rifle scope (make sure you instal a scope that is fit to take the strong recoil of this gun!!!), and I have shot over 5,000 shots, and carried the gun all over the place (I have a soft bag), and the scope has not moved one bit since. I even removed the trigger assembly once without uninstalling the scope (which in fact turned the scope into the handle for the operation), and even with the lightly banging of the hammer to remove the pins, the scope did not move.
<br>
Loading: I removed the front sight (you can grip it with a vise, and simply pull it straight out) and installed Beeman's ported Muzzle break. It helped a little (mind you VERY little) with the recoil, but it gives you a much better grip for loading at the extreme end of the barrel, so it is easier to load.
<br>
Recoil: although the muzzle break helped a tiny little bit, after a day of shooting, the recoil could still be felt on the shoulder. I decided to get a recoil sleve and installed it on the stock. With it, I have no problems with a full day worth of shooting.
<br>
So, without counting the scope, I invested $20 for the muzzle break and $10 for the recoil pad. So for $130 plus an afternoon worth of work, I have a gun that outperforms a Gamo Shadow 1000 (worth about $160 when I bought it without the scope). For me, the extra work is worth the extra $30.
<br>
I would recommend, if you still got the gun, to make these modes. You may end up liking it more than you would think...
<br>
But once again, I agree with you; this is not a gun for the beginer, as it DOES need the additional work to make it worth shooting. By the way, it really likes RWS Superdomes and Beeman Crow Magum for longer shots, and RWS Supermag and Beeman Match Kodiaks for shorter shots (the last two REALLY drop with distance).
<br>

Leonidus,
<br>
<br>I think (mine was not the case) that there is a version of this rifle that comes with the a scope and it has rings on it... Bad decision by Daisy for sure, but that is the reason people evaluate it. In the case of mine (the wooden version made in Brazil), even with the one piece mount, I still had to modify a bit because the dovetail rail was 10mm instead of 11mm, so the mount could not lock onto the rail. But I agree that for the money, this rifle is VERY accurate. In the range I go to, it will hit targets (metallic silhouettes) at 100 yards fairly consistently (at this range, wind and pellet drop weight heavily on the accuracy, so the shot is way more difficult).
<br>

Yep, I know that's how it's sold on the American market. I guess it would be appropriate to have 2 winchester 1000x sections here - 1) plain rifle, 2) combo package. The combo package offered with those rings and a simple scope was designed for newbie shooters and low costs were of high priority, unfortunately, it seems, whoever designed this combo package, never tried to shoot it, or they wouldn't have put it on the market. But this has nothing to do with the rifle's quality.

I just bought the 1000 SB version. It came with an ok scope stop. Yes, the rings are unstable. I added locktite ( a thread locker ) to the screws and its very solid now. I have 2 other scopes but im not sure wich one this gun diserves. I just recently had to uninstall a 3-9x40 TS Range estimating scope from a benjamin 392. I HATE IT!
<br/>
<br/>The BENJI 392 is a very accurate and powerful air rifle but great scope installation is impossible. The b-square system that hooks on the 392 and the c9 is really bad. The threads got shaved after the 2nd application. It is very hard to level the mounting piece. The had it shooting into the same hole at 10 yards until I accidentally bumped the reap of the scope. The shots ended up several clicks high and a few clicks to the right. I reinstalled it with and it wouldnt tighten up the second time. It REALLY ticked me off.

The Winchester Daisy 1000x is a good rifle. I got mine from a friend who gave it to me. when I got it it was full of rust. I got some chemical solvent, and some rustoleum spray-paint and it's as good as new. Mine is a newer version I guess because it has an adjustable trigger. After lubing and adjusting the trigger it's just fine. As for accuracy, I can hit a 3/4in circle 25-30 yards away, consistantly in the standing position (with my BSA classic 4x32 scope).

I got this Hatsan 70 camo second hand, but almost in new condition, it's name on American market is Winchester Daisy 1000. Accuracy is very good, despite not very good rifling in the barrel. One thing that should be done is putting a single piece scope mount on it, otherwise you may not get great results. With a single piece scope mount and a 4x32 scope I was able to get 1" center-to-center groups at 33 yards pretty easy (my shooting distance in the yard). I tried about 6-7 different... (read more)

I've had the Winchester Daisy 1000x gun since last February and I don't really like it.

I just bought the Winchester/Daisy 1000x. I find it to be a pretty good air rifle. The trigger pull on the one I bought is NOT too hard; it IS however a little long. The 'recoil' is nothing.
If you take your time and squeeze off your shots like you should, you'll find this rifle very accurate.
The only thing I'd add, is that it IS a 1000fps rifle and it does have a stiff spring. So take care when cocking the gun so the barrel doesn't slip out of your hands.

I would not advise someone to buy the Winchester Daisy 100x. Ther are a lot of better rifles out there. I thought that the fact it had the Winchester name on it that it would be good. I was wrong. (read more)

I would have to disagree with your review. I have had mine for about 2 years now, and it is still shooting very accurately. I shoot all the way out to 75 yds, and still find the gun well in the acceptable range (with my BSA 2-7X AR scope, I can hit the bottom of a Coke can at 75 yds estimated distance using the scopes' focus to judge the distance).
<br>
I am not saying that the gun is perfect (the trigger pull on mine was awful at first, but it got lighter with use and I slightly modified it to make it just right; also, the scope kept crawling after each shot, but I fixed that also by simply using 2 layers of aluminum tape over the 10mm - they should be 11mm, but were actually 10mm - dovetails and installing the scope over them with a B-Square one piece mount).
<br>
I can tell you I like this gun so much, I even installed a Beemans Ported Muzzle Break to help in shooting with the scope (I got some glare from the front sights when shooting at night) and installed Beeman's leather sling on it as well. I have 2 1,000FPS guns (the other being a Gamo Shadow, with the same scope and muzzle break as the winchester), and they are both equally as accurate (although the Gamo has less recoil, and did not have the dovetail and trigger issues, it did cost quite a bit more).
<br>
In my opinion, the Winchester 1000X is a good gun for the buck. It is not perfect, and there ARE better guns, but these "better" guns are also significantly more expensive.

Written on: 10/06/2005 by Sifu456 (61 reviews written)
The Winchester/Daisy 1000 is a nice idea. The price is very reasonable for a 1000fps magnum air rifle. But when you really look at what you have its not that good a deal, there are so many air rifles around that price that perfrom better.
The Winchester 1000x starts out great, its solidly made and shoots hard, but its harsh recoil and terrible trigger pull erase all the benifits of power/solid form and speed. It takes some real tinkering to fix this because the trigger isn't adjustable,...

I have to say I disagree with this review; I can shoot just as accurate with my Daisy Winchester 1000X as I can with my Gamo Shadow 1000.
<br>
<br>The Winchester does have a stronger recoil, but it's nothing to worry about. Even my wife shoots it without complaining.
<br>
<br>And about the trigger pull, it will get A LOT easier once you break in your rifle (by the way, is your rifle broken in? You have to shoot about 1000 pellets to it for it to be broken in...). And if you want a quick fix to your trigger pull, simply lube the trigger mechanism (no need for anything else, as a simple lubrication will reduce it to about half).

Jfrabat its your prerogative to disagree if you like but with a accuarcy rating of 7.8, recommend rating of 73% AND 2 pages of below 6 scoring out of 10 the 1000x is not a good air rifle to buy at this price. Most rate it 6 because of its cheap price and power, and I don't see how it got the rare 8-10, rating. Unless they are use to throwing rocks.
<br>
<br>I mentioned that you can lube the trigger but dropping a 12-14lb trigger pull down to 6-7lbs is still far from the factory trigger of a Gamo S1k of 3.5-4lbs.
<br>
<br>If you like the Turkish rifle good, but from my experince with the rifle I won't waste my time putting 1000 rounds through it. Not when I could be hitting my target with many other better made air rifles, at or near that $.
<br>
<br>We agree to disagree on the WinChester/Daisy 1000x.

SiFu,
<br>
<br>Just to clarify, my rifle is not the Turkish one but the Brazilian one. Also, I should point out that most of the reviews are done after firing 0 (one guy who rated the rifle never shot it) to 100 shots, and this is not even enough for a propper break in period; I think in order to review a rifle, youshould properly break it in, and the trigger pull (at least on my rifle) was drastically reduced (even further that it was from just lubing it) by breaking the rifle in.
<br>
<br>In any case, as you mention yourself, you are entitled to your opinion, and I respect that. I just want to point out my own experience with this rifle.

I just purchased this Winchester Daisy 1000x Air rifle yesterday and have shot about 30 pellets through it. It took about 20 shots to sight in this gun, and I'll have to say that the accuracy is great and the power is very good. The gun doesn't pull up and hold real well. The stock is a bit too thick in areas for my smaller hands, and the gun isn't balanced real well. But this I will get used to quickly. I Dont like all the plastic parts on this gun (sights, trigger and trigger guard,... (read more)

i'v had my daisy 1000x for a while now. its amazing. i love the large size of the stock. trigger pull is a bit to long but not worth mentioning. i'v read review about the cocking, and its not difficult. if your a weakling, then i'd expect you to complain. i can shoot 1 inch shot groups from 30 yards away. i agree with one of the other groups. if your worth anything at shooting or marksmanship, you wouldn't complain. by the way, im a retired ex marine sniper and this is a great rifle.

THIS IS A RE-POST OF MY EARLIER REPORT TO CORRECT SOME ERRORS I HAD MADE AND UPDATE THE REVIEW. I still consider my earlier review of this rifle to be accurate, however.
Some important points to consider when reviewing the Winchester Daisy 1000x:
1. This is not a competition rifle; this is a hunting/plinking rifle. This means that you are willing to sacrifice a little accuracy for a big increase in power.
2. This is a not a top-end model, and you DO get what you paid for.
3. The...

If anyone else has this gun I would like to know what kind of scope you use with it. At walmart the Winchester 1000sb comes with a scope already which is the one I use. I just want to know from others if they have had any problems with the Winchester 3-9x32 scope. I've heard it isn't shock proof enough, could be why my scope won't stay set.

Steven,
I have a BSA Air Riffle 2-7X 30mm Scope. The reason your scope may be moving may be the same problem I had in my riffle; the dove tail mount in my rifle is not exactly 11mm, but rather 10mm, so no matter how much you tighten the scope screws, the scope will not tighten to the rifle. In my case, I had to use an aluminum tape as filler (set between the rifle and the scope to expand the mount).

I just bought a Daisy Powerline 1000sb at Walmart and I used the Weaver airgun scope mounts that this Walmart also sells. They have two screws for the mount and the cap and are very wide. I have it up against the scope stop and after 250 pellets it hasn't moved. I'm switching to a heavy Beeman pellet, probably a 10.6 grain, because the 7.9 grain that I was using was 0 at 15 yards, half inch high at 25 yards, and seemed to be hitting about 1.5 inches high at 40 yards. I need something to keep it flatter within the effective range, and then with the heavier bullet I can take it out further.

I bought the Winchester Daisy 1000x because of the 1000 fps power. It was the worst $100 i have ever spent on an airgun. Besides the fact that it is very heavy, the gun is hard to reload, and it is very inaccurate, especially for that kind of power. In addition to this, after all the hard reloads, the stock broke. Stay clear of this gun. The Benjamin Sheridan Legacy 1000 is a much better gun and has the same power and improved accuracy. The extra $50-100 is well worth it. (read more)

I like this Winchester Daisy 1000x air rifle. There are some better ones out there, but this is a bargain. The only problem I have with this gun is that the trigger pull is so hard that it throws off your aim. The easiest way to pull the trigger is to pull, and pull hard and fluently. If you pull it this way, you will not lose your aim. Overall, I think this is a good starting gun. It is Powerful, Durable, and a Good Bargain. (read more)

I bought the Winchester Daisy 1000x gun at Wal-Mart. It is the camo version built in turkey. To begin with I had much trouble with accuracy because of the recoil and trigger pull. After taking the time to adjust to these problems I came to enjoy this rifle. It has very good power. Once I mastered the trigger, and found a good scope, I found above accuracy. For small game, (squirrel, rabbit, crow) this gun is hard to beat. I have found Beeman Silver sting pellets best for my gun. It likes... (read more)

Well I never shot the Winchester Daisy 1000x gun personally. I compared this gun with the Sheridan legacy 1000. Both were about the same price. I was deciding between them. The Winchester was heavier, lower quality, made in brazil, no optical sights, pumping required about twice the strength as the legacy. Pumping strength was the biggest flaw to me. I consider myself strong, but why kill yourself.
So given the facts about weight, quality, pump strength requirements, and features I...

Apparently your not very bright, when firing your springer air guns never ever bench rest or direct sand bag shoot them, always fire with a feather grip, and only kiss your cheek to the butt stock, this should increase consistency, accuracy, and power.
