A short video review of the Daisy Powerline 880 Rifle, covering the build and operation of this excellent affordable rifle. Hope you all enjoy. Thanks for watching.
Just got one of these. Usually shoot break barrel springers, however, just wanted something to shoot around in the back yard. The 880 is wonderful for that. Been thinking about getting the Daisy 901. It has the same power plant and internals, but the stock seems to be a higher grade polymer. Good cheap fun. So much cheaper to purchase than my German or British springers. Thanks for the video.
Nice video. The 880 is really a great air rifle for such a low price. I have one and my range is set up at 30 yards. At that distance, with RWS R10 pellets, I consistently get 1/2" groups, if there is zero wind. I do use a scope with parallax adjustment, which helps a lot. I noticed your scope is like that too. I also like to shoot it at 60 to 70 yards, sometimes even stretch it to 100 yards, but only for shooting at cans. There must be no wind to be somewhat accurate at 100 yards, but the 880 will do it.
Were can I get those pellets at. I just got me a sassy 880. But I am going to buy a better scope for it .what scope should I buy for it with out breaking the bank.
thanks for this, my 880 is being delivered tomorow from pelpax, so this was real handy. I have much the same pistol collection has you, and all the colt saa, as im a old west fanboy, thanks again. graham
Anytime. This was my first ever review, and was a one take video. I actually gave my 880 away to a young man, and I believe she’s still shooting well.👍
I have this rifle and have tested (and chronographed) various makes and weights of pellets with it. What you say about heavier weight pellets in guns of this type may well be correct. With RWS Superdomes (8.3 gn), I obtained a muzzle energy of 8 ftlbs and with Crosman Premier Ultra Magnums (10.5 gn) a muzzle energy of 9 ftlbs. Very respectable for a rifle which cost me just £57 last week.
@@jipleyYT Well they they tend to make around 8-10 foot pounds on all the reviews I have seen. Which is excellent for £60ish or 40 dollars ish in the USA. And thankfully Daisy didn't give the UK the crappy Canadian model that is limited to under 500 feet per second, unfortunately the Crosman pump up pistols we get in UK are the Canadian models and only make 3.5 foot pounds unless you modify them.
Ok,I'll give you another to add to the 50 you used during the video. Seriously though your presentation has improved a lot now and you seem more confident in front of the camera.
Yes i agree . I received mine for Christmas in the early 70's but at that time the receiver and pump lever were steel ,its sad they have so much plastic in them now . Daisy also made about 5 different models , some with a 5 shot clip.
I have an 880 it's a good rifle.For bashing tin cans though I use a Crosman 760 and bb's.t's a lot easier to reload a bb than a pellet especially with a resoirvor of 100 bb's.You say okay a great deal.
By far the best airgun review I've found on TH-cam. Lots of little kid video reviews and plenty of adult target demonstrations, but you actually explain everything about the Daisy Powerline 880 Rifle in detail. I've been considering purchasing either this 880 Powerline or the 901 Powerline. Do you have any experience with the 901 or opinions on how it compares to the 880?
Ehh I have the 600 powerline version with a Bushnell 4x32 AO scope,, hoping to get this one though soon. But I have always found reloading then pumping way more practical try it. But I can't seem to decide between this or a Benjamin or an Umerex break barrel?
I put my 3/8 inch dovetail scope rings on and my scope leans right.I ordered a 1 piece 3/8 dove tail and it still leans right Im trying to mount a 3-9×32 Barska scope and every scope ring I buy doesn't fit right.Any suggestions?
@benlock5600 There is an excellent video how to fix and setup a 4x15 scope . th-cam.com/video/O47dVFsgxJ0/w-d-xo.html if you can, buy something better tho...
I wouldn’t say it’s particularly loud and it does vary with the number of pumps. If you are backyard plinking then 5 pumps would be enough, and easily than the maximum 10 pumps.
the american version is a tad more powerful look on the upper left side of receiver ,there is a f inside a house symbol ,thats lower power ones ,about 8 lbs ?
Fellow air gun shooters, I have seen in numerous videos it is not a good thing to shoot BBs through a rifled barrel. True or false regarding the Daisy Powerline 880?
Steel BB's against a steel rifled barrel will eventually damage the rifling. Rifling is designed to grip the projectile and spin to create accuracy, but the projectiles drive band needs to be soft enough to engage that rifling, which is why Lead pellets are more accurate. Copper coated Lead or Lead only BB's would be a better option for the Daisy 880.
@@reevessairgunningreviews5572 Just bought a cheap nikko ao (from JSR) as well , it's a bit big but at least it beats the stock scope by far, as that one is horrible anywhere passed 25 yards.
how much that scope cost ? you should have see thru scope rings to use your gun sights also !!!! i have done a few powermods ,5 or 6 pumps now equal 10 pumps on a stock gun !
I see you have a different scope than what came with the riffle. I can’t seem to get my scope lined up Do you recommend getting a better scope to getting a new riffle?
Even with actual fire arms it's common for my brother in law to buy a fine weapon and I'll be dumbfounded when he tells me the scope was 2-3x the price. Asked him to explain it to me, he said something like at 100 yards out u can't see the fly on the target with just your eyes, he said I can see his breath!
I was considering buying the Daisy 880 but was curious about the quality of the plastic stock. Is the stock dry to the touch or more of a sticky type of plastic?
@@reevessairgunningreviews5572 Thank you so much for the reply. I am having a time deciding between the natural wood color or the black shadow model, they both look great. By the way....what Scope did you put on yours? Its looks awesome.
Good video. If you make any other videos don't watch yourself in the camera Buy the way, that's too much scope for that pellet rifle. You won't hit something at 100 yards.

How do I put the CO2 in the daisy 880
@@PaxEtAmor Never heard of doing that. Let me know if you find a way.
Had My first one in 1979. Still my favorite. Excellent review 👍👍. I used to keep a load of BBs because of the speed, when hunting small game.
Do u recomend it, im thinking of getting one
due to this guide i have learn that this bb gun my dad bought for me and my brother when i was 7 or 8 hasn't had it's safety on for about 10-9 years.
Bought the "20th Anniversary Special Edition" in 1992, and another more "recently" - both are working wonderfully!

Most forget that this is a 16 joule = 12 ft/lbs gun and as powerfull as any springer sold in the U.K. As they are all limited to 12ft/lbs.

A good review.
I was looking for the metal 881 seen one online I assume they sell fast, but this one is much lighter.

11mm Dovetail
What are substitutes for pellgun oil
Not sure, but I think some people use Brake fluid (hydraulic oil)
@@reevessairgunningreviews5572 what would one use on the crosman legacy 1000?
Just got one, but are the scope mounts on your new scope standard 11mm dove tail? The original scopes mount look really small.

Okay
You need to step back from the camera and stop shoving things to the lens-- it does not improve the view.
