The most accurate BB gun in the world! That's what Daisy claims. And, it's true!

Daisy's Champion 499 is for shooters 10 years and older who want to learn the basics of shooting. This spring-powered single-shot has a medallion stating that it's the "Official Shooting Education BB Gun by Daisy." In fact, the Jaycees use this rifle to train young shooters. Millions of firearm and airgun shooters have used the Champion 499 to learn gun safety and how to shoot properly. This rifle is so accurate, that even seasoned shooters cannot shoot beyond its potential.

The all wood stock has a Monte Carlo cheekpiece, and the lever-action cocking mechanism is easy to use. The hooded front sight and the adjustable (for elevation) rear peep sight helps shooters acquire the target. The gun is a muzzleloader, and the BB is held in place by a magnetic retainer. The rifle is intended for use at 5 meters (16.5 feet). Never shoot BBs at hard objects!

Things I liked:Accuracy. I was surprised at how accurate it is for a BB gun, even with the cheap Daisy Premium Grade Zinc Plated BBs . I also like the wood and metal construction. It includes a nice shooting sling.
Things I would have changed:Put a metal cocking lever instead of plastic.
What others should know:Mine ... Read More

Things I liked:Exceedingly accurate. Very clean trigger. Make sure you get the micrometer adjustment sight. Several addtional front sight inserts were included.
Things I would have changed:I do wish the cocking lever were metal instead of plastic (or whatever it is). I'm sure it's strong enough but it would have a better feel ... Read More
