By Customer from USA on 2013-06-10 18:55:10 Things I liked:Value for the money. Pretty accurate at 10 yards, not bad at 20.Things I would have changed:The scope. The 4 x 15 scope it comes with is the worst. scope. ever. I swapped it out for a Bushnell 4 x 32 Rimfire and am pretty happy. What others should know:At 10 yards, Crosman Destroyer EX gives very good groups. At longer ranges they really give a shotgun pattern, though. Crosman Premier Hollow Point is much better. Max effective range seems to be 25 yards, and even at that distance I probably miss more squirrels than I hit. 20 yards might be a better number for effective range (allowing for the fact I'm a n00b and not a good shot yet). At the 50-yard distances that I'm currently dealing with for ground squirrels, I'd be better off throwing rocks at them. A really good shot might be able to hit one at that range, of course, but still, this just isn't the right weapon for that distance. If I'd known as much a couple months ago as I know now, I would have bought a gas piston rifle in the first place, but I do plan on getting one. I'll teach my kids to shoot the 880. Like I said, it's great at 10 yards, and they can start there. |

- Things I liked:The Stock,the scope,the sights,the pump,the trigger...pretty much everything.
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:Cheap, accurate rifle for someone that does not have the money to go buy the expenxive air rifles - Things I liked:Low Cost, great value, dual ammo
Things I would have changed:Scope, but its a budget rifle so what do you expect.
What others should know:I've shot quite a few brands of pellets out of mine and the crosman premier hollowpoints seem to be the best bang for the buck. Accurate for the most part with pellets at 10yds. Used the Daisy wadcutters and though cheap was about a quarter at 10yds and a dime with CPHP's. BB's are just for goofing off. Upgraded to a 4x32 scope. Super lightweight and good value. Pick the right ammo and you'll love it. - Things I liked:Great accuracy! The bolt action type design almost measures up to the sleek grip and range. Perfect for someone who is just starting out with air guns.
Things I would have changed:Nothing at all.
What others should know:You have to adjust the scope to your liking and remember to oil It if you haven't used it for a while. - Things I liked:SUPER ACCURATE!!and powerfull i love the range on it I can hit targets from 234 feet away consistently with a 1in group with bbs and 1/2in with pellets it's awsome
Things I would have changed:The stock is too light for my taste but I think it can be a little heavier and or thicker
What others should know:For it's quality it's perfect for long and short range but don't forgot to oil it and clean the barrelCommentsBy Lynn from USA on 2012-12-26 0 
If your 880 fails, leaks, stops working, etc., order yourself a Crosman 2100, because that is a very good rifle for the same price.By Philip from USA on 2012-11-21 0 O BTW mine is way more accurate at 9 pumpsBy Rob from USA on 2012-09-23 2 Sorry, I find this incredibly difficult to believe. I'd love to see a YouTube video of this. Maybe you misspoke? Maybe you meant from 23 feet or 34 feet? Again, love to see a video... - Things I liked:Love this rifle. Great value for the price. Easy to pump. It only took me a few minor tweaks of the sites to get it shooting accurately.
Things I would have changed:Pellets are a bit tough to load properly but gets easier with practice.
What others should know:This rifle has taken some knocks from other reviewers, but for the cost you can't ask for anything more. Perfect rifle for a beginner. - Things I liked:I like the Dasiy 880 bb/pellet & 4x15 scope because it is lightweight with no recoil and it is very accurate with its 725 fps good bb gun great value.Comments
By ben from USA on 2012-07-09 -1 I get recoil from my 880s - Things I liked:Very accurate using retinal, Was able to completely puncture metal folding chair at a great distance. Hefty and durable as well.
Things I would have changed:Definitely a better scope. I spent an hour trying to calibrate it but to no avail, Its cheap and mainly used as a gimmick to buy the gun.
What others should know:Scope sucks, I would really suggest you save a little $$ and buy the one without the scope, its not worth it.CommentsBy Michael from USA on 2012-09-19 0 What do you expect for $50 a Swarovski scope? - Things I liked:The things I liked was how it has a O ring seal on the bolt, which stops air from escaping from the rear and makes better velocity. The barrel is steel, which it clean and nice.
Things I would have changed:Make the barrel a little tighter, it only scars half of the pellet which doesn't help much in accuracy, it makes the pellet wobble in air. Though reaching out to 60 yards and more it is great, short range isn't the best thing in the world.
What others should know:for one, get a better scope for it, the scope it comes with will be not that great quality. the optics are clear, but not what you inspect. It is VARY picky upon the pellets, I tried to run Match grade Final H&N pellets in it...still didn't want to group - Things I liked:ease oof attaching scope as well as alignment of the scope it was so simple and in just a few minutes i was picking off targets set up about 150' away
Things I would have changed:finding an easier way to load pellets after the scope is mounted i have big fingers and it is difficult to load with the scope attached - Things I liked:Inexpensive and versatile, allowing indoor and outdoor action. Single shot pellet or magazine fed bbs also provide some variation. The scope is a nice to have option as well. Light weight makes carrying for longer periods easier.
Things I would have changed:The older versions were heavier, the virtually all-polymer construction just doesn't feel as solid.
What others should know:For the money this air gun is a good buy. My teenaged girls enjoy it as much as I do. The 880 is light, easily shouldered and accurate. - Things I liked:cheap, good for indoor shooting and outdoor plinking, reasonably accurate at 20 yards, pumping it is not hard
Things I would have changed:make it a bit heavier...i have a beeman rs1 that i use for hunting and it's 10 lbs so when i shoot this rifle it just feels like a toy. Also don't even bother with the scope, it's unusable. I bought an inexpensive barska 3-7x20 scope for $15 on amazon and it works fine
What others should know:the fact that it shoots bbs and pellets sounds like a good thing at first and then you realize that bbs aren't accurate at all...it's a good starter rifle, this was my first one i bought a few months ago. I wanted hunting power and long range accuracy so i moved on to the beeman rs1 dual caliber - Things I liked:Best rifle i have had yet and if you shoot in cold weather smoke comes out of the barrel with each shoot. Works best with pellets.
Things I would have changed:Make to Plastic Metal or Wood and make it easier to load pellets. - Things I liked:The rifle has good power and the sights are right on.
Things I would have changed:Adjusting the scope was impossible. I left it off. - Things I liked:It is very accurate and has good power. Well wort the money I spent.
Things I would have changed:It feels like Daisy found ways to make the rifle less expensively. It doesn't have the quality materials I remember as a kid. The trigger pull is heavier than I remember and the bolt is stiffer than the one I used to shoot in my younger years.
What others should know:I haven't used bb's yet, or will I ever because I believe it will degrade the accuracy of pellets. JSB Diabolo Match Heavy pellets made a group the size of an eraser tip, center to center, at 15 yds. The scope is pretty dark to look through. It would be hard to shoot during dusk or dawn. - Things I liked:This is probably one of the best guns you can get for your money... i have found that it doesnt shoot bbs very well simply because of its rifled barrel..i have a daisy powerline 3-9 x 32 i think it is and can hit a quarter at 50 feet easy with .177 caliber pellets. its light weight but has very good power and is easy to pump
Things I would have changed:this gun is only a single shot if your using pellets and theres no clip which wouldnt be bad in its self, but its a little bit of a pain to get the pellet in right till you learn how to do it. the bb compartment door like to fall open but i only shoot pellets so this isnt much of a problem for me.
What others should know:dont pump this gun over 10 times it doesnt really increase the shooting capabilities.. it may increase velosity the first few times but you will blow your seal and your air will leake out, not a good idea.. and as for the pump handle, it is a metal rod that is overlayed with plastic, you wont break it... - Things I liked:Power
Things I would have changed:Get rid of the plastic
What others should know:This gun is definately for kids. The picture is deceiving it has a very plastic feel (cheap)...as it is. I do like having a Scope with it and that is why I got it... I guess for a nice rifle you will have to spend a bit more money. Hope this helps. - Things I liked:This is my first air rifle/bb gun: I like just about everything about it besides the scope! I shoot with the open sights because its the easiest Shoots fast and hits hard for a daisy air rifle
Things I would have changed:Better scope would make a big difference Other than that just the plastic parts but it doesn't really matter I don't have any problem with them the price would be too expensive if there weren't plastic parts on it.
What others should know:Use open sights first and get used to them I made the mistake of using the scope right out of the box and it took me a while to get used to the sights Only pump it 10 times max - people say more but that ruins the fps - Things I liked:1-it's very light which means better control when you are aiming..even my 2 years old son was able to hold it.. 2-Accurate 3-unbeatable price for these spesifications.. 4-dual Ammo (bbs,pellets) 5-Powerful..when you shot bb@750fps penetrates objects even more than airguns that shot pellets@1000fps.
Things I would have changed:I do not use the scope that came with it.i bought Daisy Powerline 3-9X32 scope. - Things I liked:Very easy and fun to shoot rifle. The price is cheap but power is great!
Things I would have changed:Change the pump handle, make the loop larger because my fingers started to hurt after 15 minutes of shooting/pumping. Use metal for the pump rod, it's plastic and I aleays afraid of breaking it.
What others should know:The door of the BB storage is loose and it fell open a couple of times when shooting the rifle. The scope that comes with it is of low power and is useless. You're better off shooting with the iron open sight. Accuracy is very low. But then again with BBs shooting out of a smooth bore you can't expect much. Targets beyond 20 feet is a gamble of hit and miss and no scope can help you. The manual states that you get 750fps with 10 pumps and it'spretty close. Stupid on my part I tried 15 pumps and the BBs were getting in the 800fps range. But this is NOT recommended! Overall a fun rifle to shoot! - 12
