By lourdes from USA on 2010-06-16 22:48:47 Things I liked:Pretty accurate. Lightweight and compact at only 34.5 inches. I'm not a fan of plastic parts in guns but this is a porous, non-shiny plastic (forearm, receiver and stock) so it does not look as a very cheap plastic toy gun.Things I would have changed:Remove all the warnings and instructions written in the receiver. But those are government regulations, so there's nothing Daisy can do about it. What others should know:The specifications say it is not scopeable but it is scopeable. It has a 3/8 inch dovetail built in the receiver. I use my Daisy scope on it. |  |

By Olva from USA on 2010-06-14 13:50:49 Things I liked:Cheap. High velocity and versatility of bbs and pellets. Durable plastic. Very light.Things I would have changed:rifled barrel. Accuracy swerves sometimes to the left or right. Make wooden version |
- Things I liked:This rifle is pretty good for being so inexpensive. it is particularly useful for eliminating small birds and rodents up to squirrels that may be causing a problem for you. This has to be done at close range but it is effective.
Things I would have changed:none
What others should know:Doesnt feel as cheap as you may think. It is obviously not a Hatsan 125 but it is nice for such an inexpensive air rifle - Things I liked:This is a very decent little BB gun. Very accurate in short distances up to 25 yards using BBs and WadCut pellets. Light, and with a good price.
Things I would have changed:For the price no one can ask more from this gun. - Things I liked:Light weight, easy to pump, great adjustable iron sights and pretty accurate from what i've seen with mine plus i use bb's and its going great..Better than i thought it would be.
Things I would have changed:Maybe just a little more power to this gun and that would make this gun a great joy to shoot
What others should know:light weight, easy to handle and pretty good accuracy - Things I liked:The Dasiy Powerline 35 is a good rifle with great sites not "laser optics" dont be fooled by the price buy this rifel.
- Things I liked:Very lightweight. Easy to pump. Quite accurate with wadcutters. Simple to do a trigger job on it if you're the type who likes to tinker (I am). BB repeating. Good range of power.
Things I would have changed:Make the scope rail actually fit standard tip-off rimfire rings. Factory trigger pull is very long and heavy. About even on pull weight, travel, creep, and crispness with an unmodified Red Ryder trigger.
What others should know:This rifle is excellent as long as a scope will not be used. The factory sights are pretty decent given the price of this airgun. BB's group about the same as my Red Ryder, which is about 1"-1.25" for 20 shots at 10 meters. Pointed, domed, and hollow point pellets are horribly inaccurate in this airgun, but when I tried daisy wadcutters I was blown away by the accuracy. I had no idea an unrifled barrel could deliver such good groups. The gun will easily put 10 shots into .5" or better at 10 meters from a rest with wadcutter pellets, and that is using the factory open sights. I got my best groups using 10 pumps, but accuracy was still pretty good at 4 pumps for quiet indoor shooting. Saw 580 fps average with 7.4 grain pellets. - Things I liked:For the money, not a bad little Air Gun. Efficient, powerful (Shot at a steel Ensure can filled with Ensure at 5 meters and got cleanly through with a nasty exit hole at only five pumps), and more importantly, no trouble hitting the can with iron sights right out of the box.
Things I would have changed:Rifling. This little gun can't get a group less than four inches at bench rest with BB's at 10 meters, and the curve drops drastically after that. This is using the max 10 pump load.
What others should know:Recommend using about a six to seven pump load for distances up to about 20 meters, the 10 pump charge just seems to be too much and anything less seems to fall too short in elevation compensation, relatively. Also as the manufacturer recommends squeeze QUICKLY the trigger without JERKING immediately upon obtaining a good sight picture. This little gun does quite well as an instinct or 'shoot from the hip' type rather than putting too much concentration into each shot. REMEMBER thought it will shoot 274 yards, or more, so be extra careful not to shoot up into trees and such (that's almost three football fields!!!!) Almost as dangerous as a .22 so BE CAREFUL OF YOUR BACKSTOP. - Things I liked:everything, I bought this in about December , still have it, which for the price I didn't expect.
Things I would have changed:not really anything. I wish scopes were cheaper. - Things I liked:Its very quiet. I would give it 95% accuracy without the scope and 50% with the scope. It looks and feels great. Its excellent for the price. I highly recommend it for anybody.
Things I would have changed:I think its prefect the way it is.
What others should know:Copperhead bb's work best with this gun. - Things I liked:Accuracy, its quiet, looks good, its cheap, reliable, pretty good quality, easy to pump, quiet.
Things I would have changed:To be honest, its about perfect for the price.
What others should know:This gun is very similar to a crosman pumpmaster, except, in my opinion it looks better, is more accurate, and easier to pump. I would definately recommend it. - Things I liked:I really like how light weight it is and it is a very good value. It is also very accurate WITHOUT the scope.
Things I would have changed:the scope is very hard to toon the scope but it is worth it when you do though.
What others should know:when attaching scope attach it to the very back of top rail - Things I liked:Lightweight easy to pump Fun to Shoot. Good price.
Things I would have changed:rifled barrel
What others should know:I mounted a Red Dot Sight on this gun and sent several Crosman Competition Wasd Cutters through it and could not get it to zero in. I got to the point of "close enough" then a couple of shots later the thing would shoot clear off the target.I was shooting at a five meter bb gun target. at 16.4 feet. I thought that since the gun is so light I must be jerking it around when firing so I tried a rest. Again several shots would be close then the next few all over the place. As far as BBs, they were continually all over the place. So if you are only interested in shooting Coke Cans and such you should be fine. Its a fun little gun for that. - Things I liked:About a week ago, I brought my first bb/pellet gun (Daisy Powerline 35). I have not been able to put this air riffle down since. I am not an expert but i am happy with my choice. I also liked that the price was pretty reasonable.
Things I would have changed:n/a
What others should know:n/a - Things I liked:The price was good, and it works pretty good with no flimsiness, although it is what it is. It is lightweight, I like the plastic stock. Not a bad looking piece. Pump action is easy, it is nice to be able to use 4 pumps sometimes instead of always shooting max velocity (10 pumps). Pump mechanicals look like they could last a while with some care. Tried shooting a metal burning barrel with a hunting pellet at max velocity (10 pumps) from about 40 feet away, and it did leave a neat divot maybe 1/8 inch deep--not through, though. The sight worked better than I expected it to, with the rear sight set all the way down it needed no side-to-side adjustments out of the box. I think a good knock on the sight could damage it, so I am going to be careful. Of course a scope is nicer, but it is a 40 dollar rifle after all (not scopeable).
Things I would have changed:I wouldn't change anything about it, it is what I expected. I am glad I went with this piece instead of the CO2 powered pistol I was originally looking at. No cartridge seal to worry about, no cartridges to replace constantly, no cartridges to lug around; just need the gun, some ammo and something to shoot at. The CO2 pistol would have had the semi-auto function, but this is still a better buy.
What others should know:Pretty much the same as the old pump guns I grew up with, just with a plastic stock.CommentsBy carsen from USA on 2010-10-09 1 
u can put scopes on them if you look above where u load the bbs there is a little rail there are scopes u can slide on there i have a red dot and a scope that is about size 22 scope for mineBy Steven from USA on 2010-09-18 1 it is scopeable - Things I liked:Pretty accurate.

I'm not a fan of plastic parts in guns but this is a porous, non-shiny plastic (forearm, receiver and stock) so it does not look as a very cheap plastic toy gun.
Things I would have changed:Remove all the warnings and instructions written in the receiver. But those are government regulations, so there's nothing Daisy can do about it.

Things I would have changed:The usual. Make it out of metal. Wood stock.
What others should know: I have other air rifles with rifled barrels. I wanted an inexpensive BB and pellet shooting air rifle so I could shoot with cheap BBs and not have to worry about destroying the accuracy of a rifled barrel. I was pleasantly surprised with the accuracy of this smooth bore with pellets. I originally tried RWS Diablo Basics, Crosman Premier wadcutters and hollow points, and Gamo Match wadcutters. The Model 35 showed itself to like the Premier wadcutters. It didn't care for the RWS.It also gave me some nice groups with the hollow points.The Gamos were all right. Then I remembered I had a few Crosman Destroyers. I shot 2 groups with them. One using 5 pumps, and one with 3 pumps. The one with 3 pumps gave me a one hole group just slightly larger vthan a .177 pellet. It was right at 200. That would be a fine group for a rifled air gun. For a smooth bore at 10 yards from a rest with open sights this group made me very happy. And I'm 59 with crappy eyesight.I have since ordered an inexpensive scope, and Fully expect to tighten my groups even more. With Daisy BBs I have shot 3 groups with the best at about 5/8". I took a chance buying this rifle after reading Tom Gaylord's review. I don't know how this plastic gun will hold up, but I am very careful how I hold it when pumping, as I've heard of some other brand plastic multi pumpers that break the stock. I am looking forward to testing this rifle scoped. Since it is showing excellant accuracy with open sights, I can't wait for scoping.
