Good Points: Once tuned, highly accurate Powerful Best pellet rifle for the money spent!
Bad Points: LOUD takes some time to work the bugs out cocking is not for the weak with this rifle poor factory mounts and optics
General comments: I've owned mine for a few years now and I must say that this pellet rifle needs a bit of time to get used to.
IF YOU ARE A FIRST TIME PELLET RIFLE OWNER/SHOOTER this rifle is not for you.
-you cannot handle this the same way that you would a normal rifle.
-the recoil characteristics make this an unusually hard rifle to learn the mechanics of(accuracy)
-the factory optics and mounts are GARBAGE. the powerful recoil usually destroys them within a few 100 pellets.
-Newer, slimline synthetic stocks make this rifle TWICE as loud in the shooters ear as the stocks from 4 years ago.
-respectable, adjustable factory sights
-VERY powerful, mine chrony'd at an average of 986fps with a standard 7.9 gr pellet
-Daisy has solved the trigger problems that plagued the early models(like mine-12lbs of pull for the first 2000 shots)
the norm should be 3.5 approx
-Breaking in a springer TAKES ALOT OF TIME. these rifles are QUIRKY. all things considered. if you bought this at Wal-mart like me, get used to some initial frustration.
run 5 or 8 tins of pellets through it at a reasonable pace(no to get it too hot or stress the spring). All trigger components will mesh together over time and combine to give you a smooth pull.
All this being said, I feel that I have done nothing in this review to honor my 9/10 rating. I have spent a lot of time and effort breaking this rifle in and becoming used to its' quirks.
Those who bash this weapon want a Walmart rifle that shoots BULLSEYES from the box at 50 yds. that is unreasonable for any weapon.
The major drawback to this rifle is not the inadequacy or break in time, however the NOISE FACTOR.
it is astonishing how LOUD this rifle is. It is all spring noise, too(with some coming from the hollow synthetic stock now too).
-Choose ammo wisely. GAMO raptor pellets (ahem) make this rifle sound like a .22 lr rifle because, when fired, they break the sound barrier!
-Chose EXTRA-HEAVY pellets like the Beeman silver arrow (11.5 gr) for good knock-down and easy kills.
Not for targets though, unless you want to spend a lot of money.
-also remember the basic rule-WHEN YOU CHANGE AMMO OR TYPE, YOU WILL NEED TO RE-SIGHT THE RIFLE!
The benefits of this rifle clearly outweight it's drawback and, for my money and my lifetime of shooting REAL rifles, this is DARN close to the real thing.

I still have it but taken apart in pieces.
I still have it but taken apart in pieces. First I experienced problem with cocking.
Shortly after that plastic cracked and then broke off.
When I was not able to load it I finally took it apart. The spring broke off.
I had it 14 months.
Made in Turkey. I wonder what kind of quality control they have.
After all this I would not recommend it to my friend.
Sorry I bought it.

Trigger pull can be adjusted one of three ways....either remove the adjustment screw and pilot the hole 1/8 in deep with same diameter as screw head...allows it to go deeper, or remove screw and replace with one 1/8 in longer, or remove trigger and grind off some of the plastic to allow it to go deeper.
I have bought a bunch of the other screws and cut them to length..then ground them round and smooth for smoother performance... drop me note will send you one for 10.00. Seems like alot for a sc ...

Like in other comments it true that the screws come loose from recoil i found that it helps just to dab some super glue in the hole and on the screw and screw it in nice and tight and it should stay put and the barrel on it has a funny losse twisting motoin doesnt seem like its beyond repair though overall this gun is worth the $100

Great air rifle. Great power for an air rifle and accurate, faster reload than pumping an air rifle 10-15 times. Heavy for an air rifle, break action.

Make sure when you mount the scope to use loc-tite on all the screws. The gun does kick and causes vibration enough to cause the screws to loosen after a while.

Action needs to be smoother for a shooter to shoot with accuracy in target shooting.

I purchased 2 of these guns from walmart. The first one I got home and removed from the box and fell in love with it. I held it , looked at it, admired it and then said lets go shoot it!!
The very first thing I noticed when the break barrel was pushed down to load was that how much strength you better have to go shoot 50 or so rounds off with one of these! its very stiff to push down!
Second thing, when the gun was shot, it kicked back so hard that you better have a darn good grip on it or it w ...

I'll make it short: to all, who have complained about the accuracy of Daisy Powerline 1000, go and train shooting. i have been shooting rifles for 16 years now and i'm quite accurate. I shoot my daisy at 30 meters with scope and mostly the group is half inch in diameter. of course, the specific airgun recoil may make a lousy shooter even more lousy but complaining about the accuracy of daisy PL1000 is the stupidest thing ever.also I'd like to point out the power of that gun. for a bb gun it is ...

I really love this gun,I pulled the trigger assembly apart,sanded the appropriate parts,replaced the smaller of the 2 springs with a ink pen spring cut to size and have a real shooter on my hands.Next step is a complete tune with new lubricants and some polishing.Don't lose any parts,Daisy has none.After close to 800 rounds this gun shoots better every time I squeeze the trigger.I highly recommend this gun to ANYONE willing to put in the hours and dial it in.Loc-tite applicable screws with BLUE ...

I've had it for almost a year and have taken out 3 groundhogs, 7 crows and a whole mess of squirles with mine. It works really well for the price.

This is my second review of this rifle after over one year of using it. Still keeps velocity as indicated in manuals. Medium or even below average accuracy.
After one year of shooting it, the synthetic stock cracked from tightening of the frontal bolts. That looks hopeless but low price makes buying another one affordable.
I would reccomend this rifle to a friend who has another rifle of better quality.
It is difficult to believe that these rifles are so fragile. I remember I had a Polish air ...

I'm one of those people that research everything before I buy and don't like to waste money. After searching for a hard-hitting, cheap, accurate, reliable gun I settled on the Powerline 1000 because from what I read it fit that criteria. Boy was I right. In my mind the Powerline is the closest air rifle to a .22 rifle without being a firearm. It shoots a true 1000fps. Its powerful, accurate, reliable and cheap ($95.00), everything you could ask for. The best type of ammunition for the Powerline ...

If you would like to buy this airgun i would recommend it. The trigger isn't even hard at all and it is not that hard to cock the airgun. I haven't really seen how accurate it is cause i have only used it about three different times and i didn't have anything to help me see it's groupings. So for now this is what i think of it.

I have had this gun for over 3 years and have to say it is a good gun with a little "tweaking". Fist off I have the synthetic stock and it resonates the sound of the spring when you fire the rifle. To help eliminate this problem I drilled a very small hole in the stock and filled it full of insulating foam (the kind like you use to fill in cracks in walls and around windows in your home.) Doing this reduced the heard spring recoil by at least half. Second I took the trigger mechanism apart a ...

Let me just begin by saying that I've had firearms for all of my life and this is my first air rifle. I had a rat problem in the back yard and I didn't want to wake up the neighbors, but this did totally the opposite!! I got this rifle for 95$ at Walmart and let me tell you that those were the worst spent 95 dollars of my life. The accuracy of this rifle without the scope is horrendous (4 inch group at about 25 feet). The reason for this was that the rear sights were falling off because the pin ...
