    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 Daisy 5899 rear sight that will help 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:I purchased this smooth-bore long-arm to teach my son and daughter the finer points of rifle marksmanship and I believe it is well suited for the task. From field positions, accuracy is tremendous. One hole groupings at 10 yards; about 1-1.5 inches at 25 yards shooting prone w/sling and match BBs. Its probably a 4MOA gun under the best of conditions. I mounted a 6-24x scope on mine via a RWS one piece mount available here at Pyramyd. Mount clamps firmly to rear sight base plate. A Dremel tool or round file can be used to create clearance for the rear sight plate screw, further increasing stability. My trigger breaks at 3.5 lbs on my timney scale. The basic red-ryder BB gun triggers break around 5.5 lbs. Other than that, they feel identical. Its a long, heavy, poor feeling pull in comparison to other match triggers. Forearm is broad and well shaped for my adult male hands offering tremendous stability. I mounted the included sling and sling studs further increasing this gun's stability. I added a grind to fit recoil pad to increase the length of pull by an inch. The rubber pad also prevents the stock from slipping off the shoulder. A leather cheek pad laced to the stock provides me with consistent cheek weld using the raised scope mount. With all the bells and whistles Ive increased my guns weight to a balanced 5lbs 11oz. It feels like a .22 and shoots a whole lot better than most .22s at close range.
    Things I would have changed:Trigger pull weight. Add a nonslip but-plate.
    What others should know:Can be mounted with a scope using rim-fire/airgun 11mm or 3/8" rings and mounts.

    Things I liked:Bought this for my son's 8th B-day. He is an experienced shooter with his custom Beeman R9, and a highly custom Ruger 1022 built with Tactical Solutions and Volquartsen components. We have a precision rifle range at our home and he typically shoots 200 - 400 rnds per day. He also shoots bows competitively. However, this birthday, he asked for this gun specifically because it is simple like his favorite old red ryder, but more accurate. I was skeptical of the accuracy potential of a smooth bore BB slinger. But, I must admit, it has exceeded my expectations. We set up 5m and 10m targets and shot around 400 times between to two of us. This rifle is very accurate and a lot of fun to shoot. Don't expect a world class trigger or handmade quality craftsmanship, but for what it is, it is exceptional. We set up a printed dart board target at 10 meters and had a great time playing cricket. I may have to get another for myself now. If you are on the fence, go for it...you won't regret the purchase.
    Things I would have changed:I would like to see a better trigger with less creep. Also, the trigger and cocking lever should be made of metal. The only other suggestion I have would be sizing spacers for L.O.P. adjustment. I believe for the price, these are reasonable features to request.
    What others should know:If you are looking at getting your kid his/her first BB gun, this would be perfect. Don't be put off by the price. It may be expensive compared to a Red Ryder, but you are getting a much better built rifle that will help your young shooter develop better skills. Nothing is more frustrating or embarrassing to a kid than missing a target because your rifle will not shoot consistently. The result can mean the difference between a youngster who learns to love shooting, or one who despises it because he/she "can't shoot well".

    Things I liked:The sights are excellent. Cocking effort is low enough for younger shooters.
    Things I would have changed:Trigger is creepy and spongy. Accuracy is not what I would expect from "the most accurate BB gun in the world". My standard for comparison of accuracy is my Beeman R7, and the Avanti 499B is not even close at 5m or 10m ranges.
