The Red Ryder is Junk

[Bobby Ricigliano]

I have heard that the RR’s are flawless as long as you never take it out of the packaging and only admire it from a distance. Actual handling, working the action, and attempting to load and shoot it seems reckless and perhaps abusive.

I still have mine from around 1991 or so. Was some model with the medallion in the stock. I killed my first million critters with it, and still shoot it in the back yard at rats running on the power lines. It’s been a life long source of entertainment for this simple guy

I bought one in 1927 and it still runs great

I bought a Daisy Buck for $18 +tax from Walmart in 2016, it surprised me how good it was, plastic parts but plenty accurate enough for close range plinking.. it isn't a HW30 , but it isn't $350

The Dasiy bb gun I had as a kid lasted a long time and I shot it a lot, my second to youngest nephew broke it 30 or so years later. Have a newer Red Ryder now I got for shooting varmints I don't want to kill and just scare off. It works fine, but not as powerful as my old Daisy was.

He's already shot much bigger but a bb or pellet gun is better around the campsite, generally.

It looks they are cheap enough....

I still have my son's old one plus the daisy 22 single action bolt rifle with the adjustable stock!!

Get a higher end pellet gun and call it a day

Is the Daisy Model Buck 105 any better? It is listed with the shortest LOP. Need something youth sized for my 5 year old.
