Page 2 - Daisy Adult Red Ryder Reviews

works like it should, fun to shoot 1

I liked the traditional build that I kinda remember from my youth. I really appreciate the "adult" length of pull of the butt stock.

I don't know that I would necessarily delete the safety but....I wish the trigger and safety(even though it is of the current build) were both made of metal. They feel like an adult may damage one or the other if roughly handled.

My gun seemed to perform well enough. That said, I remember my 1st gun seemed to be considerably more powerful and maybe/perhaps the "adult" model could reflect the slightly more rugged construction materials and power level. If I had any concerns on the initial review it is only that the stock had some looseness/wiggle. I tightened the screws a touch. I believe the wood may have shrunk a bit from assembly to my receipt of the gun that may have contributed to the looseness.

For all that remember the original Red Ryder this is a perfect rifle sized for us who are now adults. The fit is great for an adult and the rifle brings back many memories. It allows you to teach the youth proper gun handling and safety while enjoying yourself.

A nice rifle for the adult who still has the spark inside of being a kid again.

The gun is the right size for an adult shooter. Sights in great and is a gun I plan on passing down to my grandson..

The safety on the gun sticks and does not allow the gun to shoot.

This is a good choice for those wanting to return to the days of using a bb in the woods.

Nice bb rifle & fun to shoot targets, cans. Feels well-built.

it is good for what it is.

I own several air guns and a Chrony to measure FPS... This Red Ryder adult is in the range of 300- 320 fps.....Not bad!

great bb gun feels great for us big kids i love pliinking from my front porch so good

lower price vs wal mart but hey they never have one in stock...lol

shoots great for adults easy plinking , with todays ammo prices bb's are cheap ''to keep one's shooting finger sharp'',,wyatt earp

The "adult" size fits better and helps to stay on target. Even though it's a smooth bore, I have no trouble hitting my target.

The only thing I would change is the loading of the BB's. I don't know how, but it sure would be a big help to make it easier to load.

It's "hell" on the soft aluminum drink cans.

Feels like it's well made, light, easy to load, easy to shoot. Accuracy is on par with my model 25 pump.

Lighten the trigger.

Mine doesn't always feed a BB and I found that if you cock the gun half way and give one quick shake it never misses a beat. Sights are difficult to see in poor light. Even with a smooth bore barrel and rudimentary sights it will hit a small juice can at 30 yards with no problem.

Similar to the original

Nitro piston spring with more power (FPS). Longer more durable charging lever. .22 version.

Just about the same as 1958, Solid feel, no issues, just load and use.

My first Red Ryder shot straight out of the box. This new one required some adjustment to get the accuracy one would expect.

These are an excellent, very easy to use and a pile of FUN!

Adult sized Red Ryder shoulders more closely to a real rifle than the regular sized version. 100% wood stock that's bigger all around and a metal lever. Build quality is spot on and the price is a bargain.

A little more power would be nice, but I didn't buy it as a serious shooter.

It's everything you like about the regular Red Rider , but in a larger size for an adult.

Brings back the memories of when I was a kid, except full sized. It is accurate, easy to use, and reasonably powerful, plus you don't have to reload often. Can't beat it for the price. You'll love it.

A colored front sight.

Well made, fits this adult male well. Sights were on at the distance I'm shooting, roughly 30 feet.

Perhaps a version with a receiver sight?

Already have the Buck 105 & Pink Red Ryder for the G-kids but had to have "my own" so we all can "compete" on level ground. It FIT! Didn't think it would be that much different but was wrong, that extra 1.5" did the trick. Lotsa fun on the cheap!!

Add contrast to the sights to help younger kids better see proper sight alignment.

If you are looking for a grab & go plinker on the cheap you simply cannot beat a Red Ryder!

Classic, looks great in the gun rack next to real guns. I like the hard wood stock and the look and feel of a real gun.

Make a CO2 version of the Adult Red Ryder and add some weight to the gun.

I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet.

I really like this BB gun it's so much fun and historic. Simple joy to shoot in the backyard. Easy to use single pump action.Holds lots of ammo. no problems or jams.The lever action is nice. Accuracy is pretty good for a single pump BB gun in this price range.

I wish the sight was brighter and easier to see in low light conditions. Non issue if you only shoot in the day time.

Cant really go wrong with this BB gun its loads of fun for the whole family. I would definitely buy another one. You've all seen Christmas Story wear goggles. I still have both my eyes.

increased size for adults and accuracy

the guns were as advertised and i am very pleased with the guns shooting ability

Great value for the money, now in adult size!

Now give it a big loop lever!

Buy it!!

Another Red Ryder BB gun. A reborn classic from the days of my youth but with an adult sized stock. Same look and feel at the old original.

Fit of the stock and receiver a bit rough. The printing on the stock was OK but not as nice as the standard version I have had for a while.

I painted the gap between the stock and the receiver glossy black to hide the cheesy unfinished bit. I also replaced the two trigger springs with much lighter ones from ball point pens. A bit fiddly and the springs had to be cut (trial & error) to fit but worth it for adult use. Use the better grade of BB's, not the copper ones as they definitely shoot better. Always have a safe backstop and wear Safety Glasses.
