Things I would have changed:The rear sight used to shift a little after some times even if I tighten the screw and would have to set the sights again, wished it was a fixed sight with no windage.
What others should know:You will enjoy this gun, I'd recommend this daisy 901 than any Crosman 700 pump series, much stronger than my Crosman 760 pumpmaster and my Crosman 764sb in my experience,
Things I liked:Light weight,easy to pump,accurate.By Edwin from USA on 2011-04-19 19:27:23

What others should know:Maybe all the air rifle you need for backyard plinking.CommentsBy Edwin from USA on 2011-06-03 18:33:10 0 
After shoooting this rifle along with other pellet pistols and rifles for the last few months, I'm more impressed. It is a 1/4" naildriver,very quiet,and 75-80% as powerful as rifles rated at 1000ft. p.sec that I have. It shoots a clean hole through 12 cans whereas the 1000k.p.sec. rifles I have shoot thru 15 cans cleanly. But they are heavier, louder,and more expensive.
Things I liked:this gun is amazing. ive had it for a while and it still works great. what i realy like is its rifled barrel so it is extremely accurate. i suggest getting a scope with this gun so you wont miss a single shot.By Customer from USA on 2011-02-23 19:11:10

Things I liked:Accuracy, feel, weight, and Everything.By Andy from USA on 2011-01-14 15:21:06

Things I would have changed:Front sight could be mounted a bit more snugly but it doesn't effect accuracy that much.
What others should know:I got this gun a year ago and it was my first airgun, I got it for my 14th birthday and it is the best gift i have ever received in my life, the accuracy and weight are my two favorite features, you almost have to try to miss with it and anyone can pick the gun up and hit a target first try. Its that easy! It takes almost no technique to shoot. Its so light and durable that you forget its in your hands. Now that I've had mine for a year I feel like I can give a few accurate tips: keep the seals oiled with pellgun oil (the owner's manual tells you what to oil) and also don"t worry if the accuracy and trigger feel are terrible at first because it will settle down after 50-100 shots and it only gets better from there. About every 200-300 shots I'll put some pellgun oil on the seal and shoot a cleaning pellet through it and that's all you have to do. Mine has not lost any accuracy or deteriorated in any way after 5000+ shots.
Things I liked:Probably the best rifle of its size, weight and price! Its very easy to load and shoot. Very accurate, at least in the short distances that i´ve tried it. Trigger is excellent, ergonomics are very good and what else can we ask about it? To be silent, and it is way silent. You can shoot this thing 24-7 all day long in an apartment without disturbing any neighbors, and with lots of power in the shot, altough power is not always necesary. Its just amazing. Very well designed and executed, i can´t detect nothing in this rifle that doesn´t have engineering and a performance orientation behind it. Don´t get confused by the fact that it has a polymer reciever, this polymer is probably sturdier than necessary, heavy duty polymer for guns.By Customer from USA on 2010-03-28 04:55:03

Things I would have changed:The alignment of the rod that pushes the pellet into the chamber, although not a problem once you figure out how to load the pellet without damaging it. Only requires patience in this step. Cock twice to assure an optimum pellet seating in the chamber. Also the iron sights are a little awkward to adjust but they do their work fine.
What others should know:You must have this rifle, dont get tricked with lots of marketing from other brands and models, they dont hold what they claim about their rifles, as the Crosman 2100. The Crosman would like to be as the Daisy 901, but it is not. The 901 has beautiful accuracy, and its a breeze to the hands, has excellent handling, doesnt hurt you while you hold it hard or loose. The grip in the forearm is excellent, just what you expect from a rifle which you want to hold widely from the forearm, as it should be on all rifles of general purpouse. The sound and feel of the shooting is like a single "tac", and your pellet is in the way of exactly where you asked it to go, and im talking about this with medium quality pointed pellets, and with the iron sights, I haven´t tried high performance pellets yet. Also i like the fact that this rifle´s scope rails doesnt appear to be asking "put me a scope please" all the time. The rifle does´t need them. The gun does not vibrate in any perceptible way while making a shot, it is very light in weight and very well balanced. We can´t ask nothing more from this rifle, masterpiece!
Things I liked:On this gun I really liked the fact that you can use pellets and bb s, but the bb s have horrible accuracy so you are better off using pellets. Also it is really easy to pump up ten times with little to no change in the amount of force you need to put on the pump mechanism. Also I like the fact that it is amazingly light weight and good for backyard pest control.By christian from USA on 2010-03-03 00:44:22

Things I would have changed:I would change the safety so that you don't have to cock it every time to put the safety on.
What others should know:I know i stated this previously above but bb s in this are so inaccurate in this gun I can see that they curve a couple of feet right out the barrel. and this is an amazing starter gun for kids and adults alike. and it is an amazing deal for the money.
Things I liked: Everything this gun is by far the best air gun I've ever shotBy VADA from USA on 2010-01-18 02:00:19

Things I liked:I like the looks and feel. Fairly quiet. Good value.By Blaine from USA on 2009-11-22 15:51:16

Things I would have changed:The trigger is fairly heavy and lots of creep. When loading pellets, it is easy to get them in wrong. With practice, you can roll them in.
What others should know:I ran it on a chronograph. Using a Beeman 7.2 grain hollowpoint; 5 pumps got 550 fps, 8 pumps got 630fps, 10 got 650 fps. With the BBs i used, I got close to the same velocities. I think the bbs were so much smaller, that they were letting air by. I tried some of the Crosman Siver Eagle HPs, they are about 5.2 grain. At 10 pumps I got 730 fps. I tried going up to 12 pumps a couple of times, and the velocity was the same as ten pumps. To me, it isn't worth going over 8 pumps, most of the time. There is nothing to be gained going past 10 pumps.- 123

Things I would have changed:As almost all BB/Pellet rifles, it is difficult to get my fingers to single load pellets, and I wish there were some sort of ramp to drop the pellets in to help feed the chamber. But again, this is no harder for me than any other combo BB/Pellet gun. Other than that, nothing.
What others should know:Note: The maximum BB and Pellet velocities given for this rifle and the Daisy 880 are given as the same in the owners' manuals, I see they are advertized as slightly different in favor of the 880 on the packaging and Daisy's website. I do believe they are the same as the manuals indicate. I think the mechanisms are exactly the same between the two, and can not find any difference in power or penetration when comparing them side by side (both new guns). I may chronograph them for fun when I get my Chrony back from my buddy who borrowed it.
