Daisy Powerline 617X

This is one of my favorite CO2 pistols that has passed through my hands. It has a nice fiber optic front site, and unlike a lot of others, this one actually shoots to point of aim with all pellets. It has a good heft and a smooth trigger pull.

There's not a lot of room for improvement. I wish that it held 8 shots instead of just six, but that's a minor gripe.

This gun is not picky about what brand of CO2 to use. However, I find that it doesn't bind up with certain brands of pellets. It works well with Crosman 7.4 gr wadcutters or Beeman Wadcutters, or Gamo Match.

Lots of hitting power. Great distance. Price is great

Nothing

Buy extra clips

Almost nothing. This gun is not well made and probably not worth the money or your time

Start over and design a gun that has quality material

This gun misfired from the start. I returned it to PA for a refund. Not worth your time...

I like the way it loads. The magazine just pops right up to refill. I also like the optics on this one. The red just glows.

I would have liked to have the CO2 screw to have been inside the handle instad of having it show. Makes it more realistic.

Putting the magazine will need getting use to. It doesn't really go in and out as easily.

This gun is very, very accurate, I can shoot 12 shots and cover the holes with a dime at 20', The omly thing I wish they would have changed is the 6 round clip, It's just not enough, Oh and you talk about power, at that same 20' the BB's are going through a real thick cardboard box and out the other side and into a wooden cabinet behind the box, there are BB's enbedded very deep in the wood, I did not think it had enough power to do that until I went over to change the targets, that's when I seen that I had ruined my cabinet, my wife and I made the cabinet many years ago, and it's real wood ( yellow pine )I've read some reviews that say the barrel lock is not very good, I see nothing wrong with it, it works perfect, the co2 is very easy to load as are the clips, it also has a riffled barrel. I really love the gun and can't beleive how accurate and powerful it is, if they would have made this with 10 or 12 shots, I think it would be the best gun out there, Bar none, another great feature is the single action trigger, both the double and single action are very smooth, but being able to pull the hammer back and fire is really nice.

A bigger clip or a magazine that holds more ammo,other than that it's perfect.

If you put the safety on, it will will let you pull the trigger, but no co2 comes out, so before you think all the co2 is gone and change the cylinder, check the safety, I lost a nearly full cylinder because it would'nt fire and thought it had been empty only to find I had it on safe.

I liked the feel, power, riffled barrel, weight, accuracy. ease of loading & co2 changes, love the barrel lock. Oh and the trigger is fantastic in SA & DA, very smooth and light pull.

would like to have more than 6 shots, other than that it's perfect.

This pistol is right up there at the top of the list at a fracyion of the cost.

The sites seem ok

I cant beleive the latch that holds the barrel shut,crossman should be ashamed of that but if your carefull and hold it open before closing the barell it might last.Little to much plastic to and seems under powered but that could be the quitness of the gun..

I bought the crossman 357 also and thats a fine gun..

The weight and the way it feels. I like the crisp trigger on single action and even the double action is reasonably smooth. No recoil!

I would have liked a accessory rail but that would start to increase price as would any other changes. The barrel latch is a little scary, could be longer, but as long as I hold the barrel and don't slam it shut it will probably hold up.

I read a lot of reviews and they help me in buying decisions and it doesn't seem to matter how good a product is someone will give a bad review. Things do go wrong either in the manufacture or the shipping but if you don't give the manufacture or the shipper a chance to makes right you have nothing to cry about.

Staffer you can delete this if you want to it;s just something I felt needed to be said and wanted to get off my chest.

Powerful and loud like my 622x but without the kick. I bought the 5170, advertised as 520fps but this 617x and my 622x are alot more powerful.

Add more metal and higher capacity clips. Add rails for scope and laser.

Buy this gun with extra clips.

Read other reviews for this product, really powerful. Has loud bang and power like my 622x but without the kick.Blows up targets into pieces.

Add more metal. Increase mag capacity.

Purchase this together with extra clips to save on shipping. You can add red dot scope by glueing a rail on top of the barrel. I used B Square shotgun rail cut to fit on the barrel. Almost perfect fit.
