Good Points: Great value Accurate Easy to operate Durable Long lasting
Bad Points: None
General comments: I have had this Daisy Powerline 7856 for just about 5 years and I have shot well over 6000 BB's and the gun still works great.
The first day it arrived from Daisy I took it out of the box and there happened to be a rabbit about 25 yards out, I used the sights on the gun and bam it was down.
Me and my brother both got this gun at the same time and both of them are still alive and doing great. I have run around with my gun countless times and it's been through a lot so the durability is great, also considering I pump it 10 times always, that means I have pumped it over 50,000 times, I would say thats a great gun.
I have taken many, many animals with this gun.
I would say this gun is pretty acurate up to about 25-30 yards. I do a lot of target shooting to make sure my scope is dead on when it comes time to shoot an animal and I can usually get pretty consistent groups. I have a few glow sticks hanging from a tree out back and can hit them most of the time from about 15-20 yards out so that's pretty accurate. It is not the best gun accuracy wise though after time has past, I do maintain it well but there are stray shots pretty often, and sometimes the bb seems to curve at further distances sometimes.
The scope the gun comes with is only 4X and is pretty poor, it has lasted over the years and I can't really complain about it.
The gun is very light, and kind of cheap with the plastic but it's not that bad, obviously to last this long it is built very well.
This is an excellent gun for mainly beginners, it will serve you well for many years, with absolutly no problems. I have grown to want a gun with more power and better accuracy, I just bought a Remington Genesis because it should be a step up from this gun. It's arriving today so I will write a review, make sure to check that out.
If you have any questions at all about this gun definatly ask, more than willing to respond.

When I got the Daisy Powerline 7856 gun I found one of my little brothers action figures. I sighted the scope then blew off that power ranger action figure's head. This was my first gun and it worked pretty good, but know I have a Gamo Sporter and that things the best man. But the powerline 7856 is still great.

The 856 is a wonderful gun. i shoot it indoors (2 pumps, 295 fps), and outdoors (10 pumps 670 fps). I was able to take out a sqirrel easily. I use this rifle mainly for plinking, but it also makes an extrordinary, yet inexpensive hunting tool. Top fps is 670! In my basement I can easily shoot .75 groups at 30ft.(10yds.) Although this gun was very inexpensive ($36.00 at wal-mart), you get alot of gun for the money. I would recommend this rifle as a first or even second rifle.

I priced and compared several makes and models of air rifles from several manufacturers. The 7856 is an excellant value for the money. ($34.00, purchased at WalMart store, Dec.2002) I practice target shooting at regulation paper targets at 25 feet distance in my basement. Rifle accuracy is good after 3 adjustments to the 4x15 scope for elevation and windage. Majority of shots grouped in the bullseye, with an occasional stray shot, but still withing the target circle. I plan to use the rifle this ...

I just bought this gun for my husband, and he loves it.
If you plan on using it for big game hunting, like deer, I dont suggest it, it is a waste of money.
From outside of our trailor, in our park, my husband can open the window and shoot crows, and most of the time they die. I find the gun, and the scope very reliable and there is only a slight margin of error in aiming.

I bought this Daisy Powerline 7856 air rifle for 28UKP from JS Ramsbottom.
My expectations were somewhat low given the tiny price tag. Quick note about the model number, the 7856 is basically a 856 with a daisy 4x15mm telescopic sight thrown in.
The rifle features plastic construction where most rifles would have wood or even metal. This is off course to be expected for the price of this rifle. I was pleasantly suprised by this rifle, you seem to get an awful lot for your money, but on close ...
