Daisy 5880 Shadow Kit air rifle

You can generally find this a couple dollars cheaper at your local Academy if you have one, but if not the Amazon one is a good deal and was way better than the Walmart ones (at the same price at least). This gun is awesome, I bought it because I couldn't afford to have and shoot a real gun at this point and because I am just getting into shooting. I was afraid this gun would be too small and child-like, but not at all. It's the perfect beginner's kit, the glass that come with can be used at the real shooting range so you don't have to pay to rent it for $2 (Atlanta prices >=O ). The iron sights needed to be adjusted slightly and the scope needed adjustment significantly. At first for the vertical adjustment, I had to practically remove the screw, after a week or so of shooting it finally settled down. Good quality product!

First off, I must say, this is the first pellet/bb rifle, I've purchased in a long time. I'm 32 now, and when I was in my early teen years I think it was, I had an older Daisy Model 225, one-pump bb-gun. So going from that rifle to this, well, WOW! This rifle is so powerful and accurate, it just blows me away!

To me, it seems like Daisy always had made very high quality rifles and pistols, and this seems to be no exception to that rule. I've owned a bb rifle and bb pistol before, and have played with various other friend's rifles growing up, and to me, this is by far the most powerful I've used. I haven't even pumped it up to the recommended limit of 10 pumps yet, and it still seems so powerful, I'm just positive it is deadly to all small game, and would do some serious damage to a human, and possibly kill someone if pumped enough, and the shot was placed in the right area. Which I definitely wanted to mention, because to me, I wouldn't suggest a parent buy this for...Read more

When I got this gun I was really excited. This is my first bb gun I have ever had and I can't wait to go hunting with it.

Pros of this gun:
Power
Accuracy
Weight
Shoots bbs and pellets
The safety glasses work well
The scope is okay and does it's purpose

Cons of this gun:
The pumping lever is stiff when you first get it (gets looser over time)
You have to load pellets in one at a time
BBs are less accurate, but are still fairly fun to shoot

Overall this is a great gun and I love it. For $60 it is a great deal and this is better than any other gun for this price. BUY THIS GUN!!!!!!!
