"I bought this gun about 9 years ago and it still works just as good as the day that I bought it. I would hunt rats, rabbits, and ducks. It has excellent accuracy and durability and I would definitely recommend it for a gift or a beginner gun. It also has great value for it's money, and great power too."

A Great Piece of History

November 21, 2009

By displacedhillbilly

from nc

Advantages: Durability, Ease of use, Performs well, Quality, Value for money

"The first one of these I had was when I was 6 or so. By the time I joined the Marine Corps that Red Ryder had been litterally worn out from shooting. When my kids came along they all got one. Now my grandkids are getting them. Just powerful enough to make it feel like a real gun and teach basic gun handling and marksmanship, these BB guns are just about perfect. We have spent countless hours shooting pine cones, cans, and toy soldiers and enjoyed it all as a family. And, like the movie says, wear glasses or you might put your eye out. I can only say that the RED RYDER is a piece of americana that every child should encounter and enjoy."

awsome purchase

April 8, 2009

By daniel333

from everett, on, ca

"This air gun is a very good one. it is great for a beginner, its got great power and with good aim you could really injure/kill a varmint. I have used it a few times, the only problem with mine is that i dont have one. I would recomed this to a friend, but be careful with the sight, it can break, what my friend does is he just looks under the first sight, the screw had fallen out. Over all this is great!"

super durable first rifle

November 8, 2008

By airgunner365

from OK

"this is the best product I have ever used from bass pro. when I first got her I went outside and my dad shot this beauty. from the start it was deadly accurate. as time past and I acquired new rifles, this gun was miss treated. it was left in the rain, twice. it was halfway frozen in my garage. but eventually Ihad a need for a rat gun, so I took it out. and to my suprise it was still as powerful as the day I got her. she has fired over 5,000 times and she still manages to hunt rabbits and rats. now she is old and rusty, but she is still the super durable gun you'd want for a first gun."

Red Ryder

March 7, 2008

By Clutchcaster

"This BB gun lasts for an extremely long time. I used one all the time that was around 30 years old. It still shot great. These BB guns are easy to use and a lot of fun! However don't expect a high powered shot from this BB gun."
