Page 4 - Daisy Adult Red Ryder Reviews

Like being a kid again. my wife and i are former cowboy action shooters but after she became disabled we had to quit. I set up some cans full off water and handed her the Ryder, she shot and shot and shot and giggled like a little girl the whole time. She keeps targets set up all the time now and the gun by the back door so she can practice anytime. I think i need to put a scabbard on her electric scooter.

I wish it was still a little bigger.

Buy lots of BBs.

This thing is awesome. Everything you like about the regular Red Ryder, but juuuuust that much bigger. Already had the metal lever installed also.

Nothing really.

My only issue with it was the stock had a little bit of an un-sanded edge where it meets the metal. But no biggie. Again, the metal lever being pre-installed was a nice touch. Swapped the front sight with a fiber l-optic and swapped the rear leveler sight with a ghost ring. Super fun plinker.

the things I like most --- I like the heavier feel of the stock and the way the rife shoots..

nothing...

you can plink all day and reload and still finish out your day,if you still have targets to shoot at..

I can shoot it all day amytime and it bothers no one and ammo is cheap

Dot the front post

Fun and accurate

I only have a Daisy 105 and another *standard* Red Ryder to compare it to, but the adult version has the nice additional feature of a metal cocking lever, and the extended stock. The metal lever is a nice addition, but it can be purchased separately for $3 directly from Daisy. The length of pull of the adult stock is must better for an adult than the standard Red Ryder stock.

Two things...1) The thickness of the stock. The length of pull is great, but the stock is much thicker which makes it slightly uncomfortable. I wish they had kept the thickness the same as the standard RR stock and only increased the LOP, and 2) The price - to no fault of Pyramyd Air as the adult version is priced equally at all online retailers. When based on Pyramyd Airs pricing, the adult version is a no-brainer if purchasing for someone other than a youth.

It is not a target rifle by any means, but it is more than capable of knocking around some pop cans and is great fun for the price.

Perfect size for adults, feels great in hand, well balanced, as accurate as one would expect for Red Ryder!

Nothing

I already had a Red Ryder with an after market adult sized stock (Chief AJ), which works perfectly. Being able to buy an adult sized Red Ryder without having to purchase and stain & varnish the unfinished stock is a big plus. Now I have 2 adult sized Red Ryders, which is very convenient for my backyard BB/Pellet Gun Range, me and my guest each have one for a side by side shoot off!

Feels like the one I had when I was a kid. The increased stock length provides a good fit for an adult shooter. It is much more accurate than I expected it to be. A lot of fun to shoot a tin can at 10 to 15 yards. The BB hits the can every time within that range.

I dont think they could make any significant changes without sacrificing the look and feel that makes it a Red Ryder.

While the extra stock length improves the adult fit, the lever and trigger feel small in my hand. I did get accustomed to the feel after a few shots and it didn't diminish the fun at all.

Youthful memories

Would go back to the twist muzzle loading mechanism of the 50's

It's a Daisy

Overall everything

More power

As always be safe

It was certainly nostalgia when I opened the box and found my Red Ryder Rifle. It is beautifully made and finished and certainly met all of my expectations and then some!

Probably nothing.

If you are looking for a great everyday repeater, this is it.

Fits well

I like the real wood stock and that cocking lever also loads the ammunition .

The Red Ryder Logo should be more defined and branded into stock as from what i see of vintage Red Ryder it was and the stock should be sanded as to not show edges on the stock also it could come in different tones of stain would be nice !

That it holds 600 BB's at one loading is great !

Fun to shoot and definitely brings back memories of days spent popping tin cans and just plain enjoying the sport of shooting.

Can't think of much of anything I'd change except maybe going back to the original design with the twist cap on the tube below the barrel where the BBs were originally load. That design made the profile look more like the Winchester 94.

Get one and enjoy!!

bb shoter

nothing

excellent bb gun thank you

Great fit and Finnish as usual from Daisy. Neat to have the adault size. Same gun as the regular Red Rider just a bigger platform.

Cant change perfection.

My 6-year-old grandson enjoys firing his Daisy Buck, whenever he visits. The Adult Red Ryder is the perfect complement for me to use beside him. The longer stock and wood furniture really enhances the rifle. Don't be mistaken-- accuracy is a whimsical thing. The adult Ryder patterns about the same as the child's Buck. Flyers are common. But it's deadly on balloons and paper plates, at a reasonable distance. This is a fair challenge for youngsters and offers hours of fun for kids and grown-ups playing together. It's well worth its price.

I'd rather see a spring loading tube, limiting capacity to 50 BBs, or so. The constant rattle and rolling of loose BBs inside the gravity fed frame is annoying and does not always perform reliably. Although not authentic to the original Ryder, this refinement (such as on the Model 25 pump) would make the Adult Red Ryder much more impressive.

Treat yourself to a real childhood experience. Buy the adult-scaled Ryder.

1) Nostalgia 2) 350 FPS rating is perfect for basement shooting (hanging carpet backstop) 3) My sons are learning on the original Red Ryders so we can have fun together. 4) Compared to pneumatics, the time between shots is far less. 5) Nothing beats the feel of real wood furniture.

An up tip also rear peep site would make this the perfect affordable pea shooter.

Its a Red Ryder. What else is there to know?

Size looks like my childhood rifle. Fun to shoot.

Made more like the original.

Great rifle.

It was a good idea to make an adult Red Ryder. I am older now but I still love the movie and the adult Red Ryder grew along with me.

I would give the adult Red Ryder more power

If you love the movie A Christmas Story as I do you should get one just to have it, although I actually shot mine.

Brought back old memories... Gave one to my Father in Law for Christmas... He lived it!!

Nothing

Its a B.B. gun, not a pellet gun... Its used for plinking... it's pretty enough to mount on the wall!!
