Bad Points: Not powerful to kill anything. The only thing it can kill is a mouse. Not accurate either.
General comments: 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.

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 ...

At only $30, this gun is fun for can shooting. Not very accurate. You get what you pay for. This gun is good for beginners. No problems with it functioning. The stock and fore grip feel like I could have made better ones in wood-shop. An extra coat of varnish helps with this problem. This is great for beginners, its safe and easy to use.

The Daisy Red Ryder is a great beginner gun. It is very durible. The accuracy is very poor. Also the power is very weak. The gun will kill a small bird with at least 2 shots. When the BB capcity is full it becomes so heavy its like cement is in the barrel, this also makes the accuracy worse. This gun is deffinetly made for kids under 13 looking for only target shooting. An adult should not get this !!!!!! Its way too weak and will leave you wanting something with more power. Overall great beginn ...

The Daisy Red Ryder is an excellent beginner gun. The gun is weak yet strong enough to kill a small bird with 2 or more shots. Reloads fast and easy.
The accuracy it terrible and does not allow you to use the gun two its full potential. The gun holds at least 650 BB's, seems as if the guns tank will never empty. The bad point to holding so many BB's is it causes the gun to be top heavy, witch also effects the accuracy. This gun is for children under twelve no adult should buy this. Overall good ...

This Daisy Red Ryder is actually not that bad of a rife for getting young ones familiar with guns. This thing is pretty weak but if you really try and actually hunt you will be able to kill many varmints. The way to rack this thing allows you fast reloads. I wouldn't recommend this who expecting to be killing anything larger than a robin or anyone expecting to hunt and kill without an effort. Hope this helped

I've had my Daisy Red Ryder for about 30 years but it was passed down to me. I am 20 so it's that old but I only use it to scare the vermin out my yard since it only shocks them.
