    This is a adult review for the red rider. The red is a fun little plinker east to shoot fun to handle and fair acuurate out to 25 ft. vel- for the are really 240 or less not the 350 as on the box. My chorny gives 225-230 ave. acuurate is one inch groups at 25 ft or less. the sights are the problem. the rear sight needs to shim upped 1-4 inch painted front sight glow orange back is paint gloss black is to shinning in the sun. paint rear with flat black . better sights would improve this gun. I might do some thing differt with sights May add daisy 5889 rear sight mounted where the rear screw hold on the stock. my redrider hangs on the wall by the wood stove with a daisy redrider sign an daisy redrider logo hat. may target is a plastic golf ball hanging by string off a coat hanger pushed into the ground. alot of fun for $30.00 bucks.

    I think you people must not use it often to think it's bad. You have to remember this daisy red ryder gun is from 1938. In my opinion, Its a great gun. I got one when I was 10, And played with it for a long time. I gave my friend lessons on how to shoot, and it was pretty accurate. And you must use lots of force to brake the lever, I still have mine today. It could use a better sight though.

    The Daisy Red Ryder has poor accuracy and was dissapointed that the cocking lever was made of cheap plastic, but you get what you pay for

    Great for kids who feel like going out to the backyard and shooting at various objects. It has a nice wood stock and a little recoil (the good kind). I liked mine a lot.

    This gun is pretty good for a bb gun all of u say that its weak and not accurate but mine works really well. I kill more birds with that than i do with my .177 cal air rifle. But the air rifle always kills and kills bigger animals.

    Its good for target practice. Its really cheap for me too.
    Not powerful or real accurate either. But it should be every ones first bb gun in my opinion therefore I do recommend Daisy Red Ryder.

    All in all this is a good first bb gun. This is one of the few classic bb guns that arnt very expensive that isn't made out of mainly plastic. The gun is well built. it can take a beating, it last very long especially if you oil it and just shoot it and don;t throw it around. But even if you don;t take the best care of it it is still a very good gun. The down side of this gun is that if a young child is shooting it they may get discourged because at least for my gun the bb goes about 3 inches of ...

    Any young shooter or wild west enthusiast will be thrilled with the looks and handling of this little bb gun , I also own the pistol peacemaker bb gun which is also great fun but still not as much as the red ryder .
    Only wish that Daisy guns were more readily avialable in the uk and they would once again prodce thier m1 carbine replica and the winchester 1894 bb gun again and increase thier stockists in the uk..

    I bought this modern remake of the old red rider classic bb gun for my youngest daughter. It is her first experience with a gun, so I wanted it to be a good one. And it very much has been with this little daisy red ryder bb gun. My daughter never shot a gun but she took to shooting this little red rider bb gun like an expert. I made up a target and set it about 10 yards away, with a good backstop. Then started with her first shooting lesson. After a few shots and elevating the rear sight a bit, ...

    I don't get some of the low scores the Red Ryder has received.
    Most of them go something like this...these are actual comments:
    "accuracy drops off after 50 feet"
    "won't take small game"
    "works flawlessly but you can see the BB in flight"

    For cryin' out loud!! It is an entry level BB gun meant for 10 year olds. It is made to be as safe as possible for a youngster to learn on.
    If you want more, blow the wad (gee...what, another $30) to get a Daisy 5880.
    Geeezzzz ...

    The red Ryder is a good, cheap gun. I would recommend it for a child's first gun or for a little backyard fun.

    This is a gun supposed to used by 9-11 year olds due to its lack of power. And since its lacking power the bbs won't be accurate past 10 yards. But it has a nice wood stock and holds around 600 rounds . It's great for entertaining your child if hes bored. This is a great starter gun but I wouldn't recommend it if you need accuracy (As it will get 2 inch groups at 10 yards) or plan to hunt with it... All in all a great starter gun that can provide a child with hours of fun.

    It is a good gun and worth a look if you want a gun for your child.

    Typical youth BB gun...shoots straight but with low power raised rear elevation to the max at 10 meters. 1 to 2 inch groupings at 10 meters. Fun for shooting soda cans and learning how to use an iron sight.

    Only bought because it was on sale....would not pay more than 25.00 dollars for it.

    Rankings:

    For lowest price: Daisy Buck 105, Mendoza 650(CM-BB scout Model) and Daisy red Ryder.

    For best materials and finish used: Medoza650(CM-BB scout Model), Buck 105 and Red Ryder.

    For a ...

    I got this gun 3 years ago and have passed it on to my 9 year old brother it was a fun gun but my only problem was inaccuracy. Then i was 11 I tried hunting with it but then i didn't know that 350 fps couldn't kill much but looking back i couldn't expect it to be to accurate because obviously it is a bb gun It would be like expecting one of those guns that shoot bb's and pellets (which i would never buy) to be accurate! Overall a good amateur gun.

    I got my Red Ryder when I was about 10 or 12 years old, so I've had it for 15+ years now. It ranks as the single best Xmas present I ever got. I spent hours and hours shooting it as a child, teen, and young adult. I still shoot it every time I go back home to visit my parents. I keep it in my dad's garage, just like I did when I was young. Although I live far away from my parents now, and could easily store my Red Ryder at my current home, there's something special about stepping out into m ...

    I bought the Red Rider for my son's 10th birthday. I was not expecting much from the weapon, as it is geared towards a 10-year old audience. This rifle perfectly fit the purpose for which I bought it: to teach my son how to safely handle and fire a rifle. Granted, this is not a hunting weapon and it isn't something that you would want to use for competition-level practice, though I must admit that my son is able to achieve decent shot groups on an AR-4 target at 5 meters (16.5 feet). Beyond ...

    When my dad came home from WW2 I was 5 1/2 years old. As soon as they became available, he bought me a Red Ryder BB gun. It was my most prized possession. I carried it everywhere I went around the neighborhood. Made a closeline sling so I could ride my bike and have it handy in case i met a sparrow that needed killing. Try that today and meet your local swat team.
    Eventually I wore out that first one after 3 or 4 years of hard use. It would have lasted longer but kids don't think about oil.
    It ...
