    this Daisy Powerline 856 is an awesome gun for plinking and shooting. i got this gun as a christmas present in 2004 and have killed countless birds and sqirrels with it. the scope that comes with it is kind of sucky though and is impossible to sight in.
    i shoot this gun with the sights on it.this gun takes a lot of practicing with.
    over all this is a great gun and i would recomend it to anyne who is looking for a good quality airgun without breaking the bank.

    The Daisy Powerline 856 is accurate, mechanically reliable, water proofish. The reason bbs wont work right is because if yours is rifled like mine, you should fire them with that gun, it was made to use .177 cal pellets, it should never fire bbs it will mess up the gun. mine is really accurate, i took the scope off of mine because the scope needed to be adjusted and its a really hard scope to ajust so i just took it off and used it with no scope but thats the reason your gun is like that and al ...

    For the price, I find it excellent. For teenage kids it is very convenient since it is light. Fairly accurate. Came with a 4x scope.

    For the monay it's really not that bad. It does have a rifled barrel which probably helps it out quite a bit.

    Great rifle overall. Excellent plinking rifle, can shoot BB's if you don't point the barrel down because they will roll out. Not very well fps but it's a fun rifle.

    Very nice beginner/youth rifle. This gun was handed down to me by my father, so maybe it was better when it was new. So if you want an inexpensive, but fairly cheap quality this is for you.

    In fairness to my statements, I must say I have never shot .177 pellets from this gun. That said, because of the history associated with this gun, I would not throw it away, but that is the only reason that I still have it. It is actually a danger to someone standing beside the shooter

    I purchased this gun and sent it straight back! I have never had a Daisy gun before and frankly expected an American gun to be finished off a little better than this.
    The gun itself seems to have plenty power but looks like something you would pick up for a kid in a local toy shop. Even the trigger and guard was made of plastic and just did not feel like an air weapon.
    A wooden stock ( or even heaver plastic) and metal trigger would make all the difference.

    The Daisy Powerline 856 is an awesome air gun. Very good for the money fairly powerful I've shoot the break barrel design 1000fps and it is definitely a rival when comparing cost to use. why would you need a 2-300 gun for plinking cans unless you do it professionally

    The Daisy 856 Model was one of my first airguns I got it at blackwatercutlery.com as a remanufactured. A first look I thought "Hey that Ain't to bad" Which is wasn't. Came with 4x scope and is nicly reliable. Cheap too. (In trade for "Not the best of plastic")

    I got this airgun for $20 at big 5 sporting goods. It was my first airgun and it was really impressive. I have killed many birds with it and half of the time it blasts right through the fence. Very accurate. easy to pump. I put a Daisy 4x15 scope on it that cost me not even seven dollars and it shot right where the crosshairs layed. Quiet

    Very accurate with some pellets, like Gamo Magnums for sure. The Daisy Powerline 856 is an inexpensive rifle. Loads multiple pellets per shoot. Holds pressure for days.
    Bright front site. I have just one life-time shot at a crow; it's dead.
    Very light weight. Low recoil.Very good value.
    Durable

    I had this Daisy Powerline 856 gun for 2 years and killed aroud 25-30 squirrels and count less birds. My friends brought over his RWS 22cal that shoots around 850fps with $200 scope on it. He was furious when I walked out of the woods with 2 squirrels and he none. I bought this gun with the scope combo for like $45 at Wallyworld. The scope was some cheap thing that was like $8 sold saperately. I never cleaned or took care of the gun. Ive left out in the rain over night and the freakin scope was ...

    I got my Power Line 856 about 2 years ago and I really like it. It is a great gun for target practicing and hunting and it is very accurate up to 30 yards. I dropped my first 2 birds with 1 shoot each. It is a great gun all around except that it shoots only pellets and not bbs.

    I love the Daisy Powerline 856. I got it when I was 8 and when my dad sighted it in it was so good. I killed my first squirrel with it. It is at home in the hands of a hunter.

    I have fired about 15,000 shots through this gun and it jammed and after my dad fixed it the barrel shakes when you shoot.
