Daisy Model 105 Reviews

Quality well built I bought for my nephews first air gun he loves it

Really nothing to change

Follow the instructions about holding the barrel up while cooking it to get a bb in the chamber

Easy to use Amazing accuracy for the price It's accuracy and reliability was very useful for my boys shooting practice

Nothing

Looks are great.Wood stock shines and the engraving stands out.The new safety feature was a stroke of genius.Carries lots of ammo for all-day shooting fun.

Up the FPS so you couldn't watch the BB on it's travels to the target.

Don't ,when nobody is looking,try to shoot a bird or chipmunk.The only thing you're going to do to it is make it suffer and that's not the mark of a true outdoorsman.

I like the ratcheting lever action, unlike the lever on the Red Ryder (at least from 20 years ago when I was a kid). If a child is still not that strong, then letting go of the level while cocking won't result in it snapping back, and they can take a little rest and continue with cocking it. I think my 6 year old son would have given up otherwise.

Really nothing. It is cheaper than the Red Ryder, shoots well at 5 meters (no need to adjust the non adjustable sight). At age 5, when I got it for him last year, he wasn't able to cock it, and the trigger pull was too hard for him. Sometimes (and also with my then 2.5 year old daughter), we would shoot CO2 pellet pistols, which have a much lighter trigger pull, with me helping them to hold it. A somewhat lighter trigger would be good.

Make sure to get appropriately sized safety glasses for your kids. Not that any of us wore them as children with BB guns... But at least I, as a kid, was just shooting at aluminum cans in the grass. Now for my son I set up a little shooting range with a paper target hanging off of a board, and as I expected, if the BB hits the board, it bounces back. It would suck to get it in the eye. Or else for paper targets just use a large cardboard box.

Bought it for "the nephews" ok they are only 3, but we will need it soon! Out of box, loaded some BB's and away I went, not my springer but 100 shots as fast as I could crank the lever all kinds of fun. Solid rig, no malfunctions and was hitting cans in the backyard in no time.

Only 100 thru it but no malfunctions, seems strong so far.

Buy one!

Lightweight,carries large amount of ammo internally,not loud when shot

Up the FPS a little.

Definitely for plinking and targets ONLY,the velocity is so WEAK that if you hold it steady enough and keep your eyes glued to the end of the barrel you can actually see the BB on it's trajectory with a naked eye.Not strong enough to humanely take a chickadee or chipmunk.

This is a small gun for young shooters, it is a great training gun, it's a safe gun, easy to handle, any youngster will be proud to have one,and it's priced just right,

I think this gun is perfect,

learn to handle it safely, it is very good shooter,

Excellent, well-made BB gun for under $30. All metal receiver, plastic lever and trigger. Had this same model as a kid over 60 years ago. Accuracy out of the box is amazing, about 1" groups at 5 meters.The ratcheting cocking lever is a big improvement over the original action (no pinched fingers now). To sum up: very nice black paint electroplated receiver, nicely made wooden stock, and highly accurate out of the box. Perfect for plinking tin cans and paper targets.

Not much actually. Some reviews complain about the plastic lever, but having used both metal (on my first BB gun) and plastic on the current model, I have no problem with the plastic. The trigger pull is somewhat stiff and could be a problem for youngsters. Requires a firm, steady release. Would be nice to have an optional longer stock for adults.

This BB gun is an excellent value for young and old air gunners. Amazing quality for the price point. Wooden stock is nicely made, perfect for youngsters but a little short for us old-timers. The model I recently purchased had the plastic blade front sight which I prefer over the newer fiber optic sight. This BB gun should last a lifetime with proper care and lubrication. I find it amazing that this model is still in production (with minor improvements) after all these years. Brings back many happy memories as a kid growing up in the 50's.

iv had mine since i was 5 years old. now i am 14, and the only thing that is wrong with it, is the power is starting to diminish. but i can prop this gun on my shoulder backwards and shoot it Annie Oakley style and shoot a bottle in the ditch behind me at 10 yards. trick shots with this gun are so easy iv been doing them for years. iv killed dozens of snakes with it as well (it takes about 3 shots to the head, but it works) never oiled it or cleaned it, and it is still running great. i even ran some old copperhead bb's out of it that were rusty, and it still works great (only problem was feeding issues)

the power of this gun should be increased add a rail for a scope, but not neccesary the iron sights are great for me

got this gun after my red ryder quit feeding, and it has worked flawlessly ever since. if put thousands of rounds threw it, even rusty bb's, never oil or cleaned it, not rust issues on outside. im happy with this gun that i grew up shooting. it still doesnt compare to the shotguns iv been shooting since i was 6 tho.

good for young showers.hold lots of bbs.

better front grip.

will last for years.

i like everything about this gun, especially the accuracy

i would just try make the cocking lever a little bit easier because you can't do quick multiple shots with this lever

great gun, its durable and has lasted for many years and most likely many more still to come

The reloading is a bit rough after having the gun for a few years but i have had it since i was 7 and now im almost 15 and i still walk around shooting popcans!

make the reload easier by making it automaticaly reload when cocking.

This gun is worth the money for a young shooter because it does not shoot a long ways but you can still hit a water bottle from 200 feet if you know how to use the gun.

Plenty accurate for starting out in shooting sports.

An adjustable rear sight and somewhat narrower rear sight notch would be improvements.

I got this little gun for my daughter for her 6th birthday. It's perfect for learning the basics.

The Daisy Buck it is small and allows young shooters to learn the sport of airgunning and maybe firearms as well some day. I started on a Daisy Buck as a kid so I started my daughter on the Daisy buck as well. Truly a timeless BB gun and accurate too!

Have used these guns for ten years at a Cub Scout day camp. Smaller frame is much better for the younger boys.Red Rider was too heavy for some of them. I use them for 2 years( 500 boys) then give them to a parent.

The only problem we have encountered is a feed problem. We have several dry fires in the coarse of giving 250 boys 5 shots each. The only problem we encoumter is a feed problem. Have several dry fires during the coarse of giving 250 boys 5 shots apeace.

i think this gun is awesome especially for the price.

the only thing i would change would be the cocking lever.

awesome gun, and pretty good accuracy.

Great gun for the price. nice wood stock and most of the gun is metal. the fiber optic sight is pretty nice to.

Cocking lever is plastic and with the force needed to cock the gun it feels like it may snap. if it does break i pretty sure daisy has replacement parts for like 2 dollars.

while the gun is small i would recommend it for anybody. the gun also has a kick similar to a 22. rifle.

I have a nine-year old boy with a Red Ryder. We go plinking at cans in the backyard. My younger son is only seven, and although he likes to shoot too, the pull length is too long for him on the Red Ryder. So I bought him this Daisy Model 105 "Buck" gun. It is shorter and the length of the pull to the trigger is much better for his build. The gun shoots well. The sites are right-on for the 20 feet or so range we like to use. The fiber optic front site is nice and bright. And the gun is almost all wood and metal, except for the cocking level, which is some kind of tough plastic. For the price, this gun is outstanding! My son is having a lot of fun with it and it is great for teaching safety and the pleasures of shooting. It also comes equipped with a easy to use safety, which also my son has learned to keep set unless he is about to fire downrange.

Nothing at all. This is the perfect beginner air gun. Enough power as well to perforate aluminum cans and penetrate plastic milk jugs we fill with water.

I've putting a drop of Pellgunoil in it each time we are done shooting. I hope it will keep it functioning well. Also, when we first got the gun, we test fired it at close range (6 feet). It seemed to pull shots to the left at the time. But when we got it out in the backyard for a shooting session, it was dead-on at the ranges we use it (15-25 feet). The sites are non-adjustable, but I don't see us ever wanting to adjust anything so that is not a problem.

Fiber optic sight, perfect length of pull for my 5 year old, accurate, fun, cheap.

Trigger is very heavy, especially for the younger shooters. I measured it 6.5 lb on my Lyman Trigger pull gauge. It needs to be heavy enough to be safe, but making it too heavy makes it less safe since the rifle can wander as the trigger is being pulled.

Excellent starter BB gun for the younger shooters.

this gun really last for ever has power but not to much just right for littler kids

not a thing
