Many fond memories with this fun gun. Still have it from the eighties. It doesn't work so good now but to me it's the one I'll keep until I leave this world.
I decided to get one to plink around with the kids i mentor in my neighborhood. My dad used to have one for a massive squirrel problem about 20 years ago. He was the one who pointed me to the 880 when i told him i was looking for a pellet rifle. I love this thing so much and so do all the kids.
I’m an avid hunter and I bought this for plinking out my back door here in the suburbs. But then I put a 3x9 on mine a while back and it’s a sniper for squirrels. I have had mine since I was a teenager over 20 years ago.
I have this gun and I love it! BBs are fine, but with a 3x9 scope, some hunting pellets, and ten pumps I kill Squirrels and Chipmunks in our garden on the regular. It's a literal sniper rifle. Very accurate. I place shots on top of shots when sighting in and practicing. When I bought this rifle I wanted it for fun. Now I consider it a useful tool that I use throughout the growing season. Nice review.
wow, i love this bb gun, my dad bought me one ein the 80s and the pump lever was actually metal, compared to todays model...love this thing, and i still have mine
I had one in .22 cal back in the 70s. It was the first pellet gun that I owned that you could actually shoot a pigeon in the chest and kill it. It was a big step up from my Daisy Red Ryder lol. 10 pumps not 5 is the way to go.
I have one of these by my bed because we have chickens and with 10 pumps and a pointed daisy pellet,the possums,snakes,etc.,the daisy will get the job done. 5 pumps with a bb will go through a metal garbage can. One pump will go through 2 beer cans,empty and stay in the third one. Very powerful but aims off with sights.
Man that brings back memories and I still have that rifle because I just could not part with it. I am looking forward to the day my daughter is old enough so I can give it to her. Some 30 years later and it still shoots just fine.
I have an FX Maverick .30, Benjamin Akela .22, AEA Challenger .357, Air Venturi .25, Gamo Swarm Magnum .22 and my trusty Crosman 2100 in .177. The 2100 is around 25+ years old (showing my age), I use it regularly and I will never give it up. I just love that gun!
I bought a Legacy 1000 and it's a total piece of junk! I won't even buy crosman pellets anymore. Daisy is the new gold standard in pumpers IMO. I own The 880 and The Winchester 1977xs. The 1977xs is more powerful then either the 1000 or 880 and easy to replace the seals on too. It shoots consistently over 800 fps with 10 pumps and 7.5 gr pellets. Will even take a couple of extra pumps for more velocity. If you don't have a 1977xs you are missing out! And by the way The 77xs isn't the same gun, it's a 880. All said and done The 880 is still a great gun and I still target shoot with it also. I go out as far as 40 yards with it and it shoots right around 690 - 695 fps with 7.5s. I've gotten it over 700 with 7.0 and alloy 5.2. When the piece of junk still worked it was a fun gun also and of the three guns it felt the most like a real gun. It was shooting about 720 fps with 7.5s unfortunately for me after just two outings.............
Great review as always Ben! How bout doing a tutorial on how to use a crony? It would be a benefit to many learning the importance of a crony and how the shades and sunlight effect the device.
Let me tell you daisy power line 880 is my best friend he make his job wonderfull breaking birds & animals is criminal I have my daisy since 1970 the stock made in wood & all was made in metal caliber 177 or bb ammunition
I think somethings wrong with my daisy cuz today i shot a frog with it from literally 2 feet away and it just screamed and swam off. (I did only pump it twice and used just normal round pellets, but still)
Nice video + info. Laughed out loud when I saw your scope on it.... looks good, but, like a telescope on it compared to the aniemic scope that comes with it. Had an 880 as a kid, stupidly gave it to someone. Now as a much older adult, need something quiet, accurate, powerful, + low cost to take care of a gopher/ mole / vole problem. Funny I'm looking at the 880 again.
Finally picked up the Shadow version awhile ago. Very similar in quality as my older one I had. Very close, but just a little less solid locking in the receiver lever. Still love it. Got about 8 or so notches from gophers/voles on the stock so far. Lol. I still Need/want a decent scope for it though. Looking at the Winchester 2-7x32 AO scope, but still deciding. ????
What an amazing video! Just yesterday I found an 880 in the gun collection my dad left me when he passed a couple years ago. I didn't even know he had it. I cannot wait to get it out and try to replicate your results! Do you have any advice on a first-time clean-up/maintenance?
I want to use my 880 to teach deer to stay out of my garden, but I don't want to break the skin. I sighted in at 30 yards using three pumps. Does anyone out there have advice for me?
Good info, thanks for taking the time to demo. We had a squirrel problem in the back yard a couple of years ago. Normally I wouldn't kill anything (about the only thing I shoot is deep space stars and galaxies) but once they chewed on the patio lounge cushions and split the hibiscus plant my wife was 🤬. I headed to the local sporting shop during lunch one day. I picked up a Powerline 35 and it's just like what I had when I was a kid. 28 squirrels later... they don't come into the yard much. Then the power dropped and I could hear the air leak hiss after one pump. I then bought the Red Ryder, that's definitely not what you want for varmints. Though I've hit a few with the Ryder, they just jump up maybe 2 feet then take off. I think it's more of a game for the little $hits. Just recently discovered Daisy service and yesterday did a rebuild on my 35. The parts are mostly all the same for the 880 and the 35. If you need parts at a cheap price you can order by calling Daisy customer service at 479-636-1200, press 1 to speak with a representative. I hope you don't mind me posting this info. Daisy treated me very well and I am back to good pressure with the 35. The rear sight on the 35 is adjustable but I am thinking about an inexpensive scope for efficiency.
Glad to have you join the conversation. And it’s awesome to hear of your positive experience with Daisy. I hope you don’t mind my suggesting but with a squirrel problem like that you might want to look into stepping up to a break barrel or even an entry-level PCP. Let me know if you would like any suggestions.
@@ShootingGearReviews Appreciate it. I checked out the Arrow and think that's the way I'll go. Do you have a decent pump to recommend? The compressor and dive tanks are def out of the question. Gamo has a pump that's almost as much as the rifle itself.
So I'ma get my dad a bb rifle for Christmas because he has a squirrel problem. The crosman 760 looks pretty cool and it's cheap. I can't make my mind up between it and this daisy 880
If it’s mostly going to be used for squirrels I would not suggest either a gun. They are under powered. You should be looking at a break barrel shooting 22 caliber pellets. That would be a much better choice for squirrels. BB guns will likely wound the animals but not humanely kill them.
@@ShootingGearReviews huh, that's odd! Being a youngster in the late 70's early 80's, the 880 was all us kids had. Parents couldn't afford much. Killed many a squirrel with it, humanly, and without issue using .177 pellets. Just can't take crazy long shots.
Nice review of this classic. Do you recall the rings you used to mount this scope? I've been shooting mostly iron sites since I resumed my Daisy journey. Haven't had one in over 60 years and found this a great economical way to resume plinking in the wild. :)
How many meters did I shoot with the powerline and what look is he using in the rifle and after how many shots you have to calibrate the sight again and which look more can serve you Which Pellets do you recommend to use in this rifle that is Thank you
I have a daisy 856. Had it forever. Pretty inaccurate. Any suggestions for a newb? Never cleaned a barrel or messed with adjusting sights. Wouldn't mind a serviceable scope if anyone has a recommendation. Should I just bight the pellet 😅 and step up yo a better gun? For chipmunks and squirrels. I don't wanna mess with co2 or break barrel. I love having a bb reservoir. I have a crosman co2 cartridge too with the mags and clips. Not having to reload every shot is key for me. I like undermount pump. Thanks experts!
So using the ironsights and shooting at a can thats maybe 10 yards away, the thing doesnt seem to hit anywhere near the can, and ive used a red ryder BB gun which seems like a laser compared to this thing. with the red ryder i can hit everything spot on everytime but for some reason this gun doesnt seem to hit anywhere near where i aim it. is there a way to fix this or is the gun just defective or something
I killed a 2 Porcupines with this kind of BB gun... first one took alot of shoots just to kill it cuzs I was using copper BB shells and the second one was one shoot with pellets.. it may not look strong enough to kill one but trust me, It will kill 100%
Same, i have the older version with magazine. It can't hit 2l bottle in 15m range. My B3-3 can hit 0.25l can on 25-30m range with no problems. B3 is way cheaper, made from steel/wood and more accurate

Nice work as usual! Ben you always do a great review no matter what product the manufacturer sends you!
Mine stacks 12.5/15/20grain nsa slugs with as low as 3-6 pumps. It’s still my fav and most used model rifle after 30 years.
Impossibile, my daisy 880 won’t shoot 13 grain pellets
@@Stee19587 mine does so it’s definitely possible. They go super slow but they are still accurate and deadly on small birds and pests.
I’ll try again than. With slugs can they reach a target at 70/80 yards?
I have a powerline 880 and I really like it and it's my first gun that I shot
Gave one to my friend for his birthday that was 6 years ago still uses it. Doesn't hold air no more got to shoot it as soon as you pump it.
Great review as always Ben! How bout doing a tutorial on how to use a crony? It would be a benefit to many learning the importance of a crony and how the shades and sunlight effect the device.
Let me tell you daisy power line 880 is my best friend he make his job wonderfull breaking birds & animals is criminal I have my daisy since 1970 the stock made in wood & all was made in metal caliber 177 or bb ammunition
Fun little multipump, I've always preferred the crossman 2100 over the 880 however. Inmo more accurate and more punch
I think somethings wrong with my daisy cuz today i shot a frog with it from literally 2 feet away and it just screamed and swam off. (I did only pump it twice and used just normal round pellets, but still)
I just bought one and I'm using it as a sniper in airsoft wars I'm about to buy an M16 or G3 airsoft replica because I'm getting really into airsoft.
That rifle is actually quite powerful for the money,most rifles that r 500fps with pellets r like well over £200 and this is only £49.99
My buddy just hit a 10 inch skillet at 85yds with a 760 pumpmaster with BB's

For sharing, how strong is it with 1 PM question mark
Damn, that scope is wicked awesome!
I like multi pumps
Pump it 11 times it works and puts the bb where you want it
I really enjoyed this one. Thanks!

What kind of target was that where his shots left big holes that were easy to see from far away
Are ironsights accurate can it be adjusted if there is no scope? Will bb get jammed when coming out of reservoir?

I have a Daisy Powerline from the 80s. mine is silver though. The pump no longer works and it is missing the safety. I want to “restore” it.
are the rails going to pop off if I mount a scope on it?
I have 5 now
Yup...a $800.00+ scope on that $60.00 bb rifle.

Not a huge fan bc I started on crosman bear (1000 fps 177) but I understand why this thing is so important to some.
@@paulbrig8951 that’s not exactly my issue with it, I just don’t like pump guns.
What type of scope is that?
When using pellets do you have to pump 8 or more? Or will 5 pumps work as well.
Would this be a good home self defense weapon with 10 pumps?
No. Not ever.
I have a Daisy rifle Powerline it came with a scope..but need a better scope...whats the make n model on the one yr using...on this video...???
would this be a good pest remover ie rabbits pigeons crows etc
you should check your scope
Classic awesome sauce brother ✋
Can you use 13 grains pellets with this daisy?
try 12 pumps after 100 shoots ;)
what speeds if you diesel the barrel?
i reckon you would get 900fps +

what do you prefer, the gamo swarm magnum g2 or the swarm bone collector g2?
Mag for sure although I love my bc2. The magg2 is just perfect

Since it’s got a rifled barrel BBs aren’t going to work super great. Try some pellets.
@@ShootingGearReviews alright thanks for the suggestion
You are not wearing your security cloth why
What does a bb weigh?
Edit: 5.1-5.4 grains.
That sounds just about right but I can tell you that a alloy pellet of the same weight will get more velocity.
Hahahaha and the turkeys agree
so i wonder, why is the aim so far off on that thing?
You do know 10 pumps is max power
I killed a 2 Porcupines with this kind of BB gun... first one took alot of shoots just to kill it cuzs I was using copper BB shells and the second one was one shoot with pellets.. it may not look strong enough to kill one but trust me, It will kill 100%
I even used 177cal jsb Knockout slugs with these.
Shoot at a 10 pump
Its a 10 pump gun. Why not show 10 pumps???????
I did what the box said.
Good for rabbits that bout it
Get rid of that crappy 4x15 scope and buy a Daisy Winchester 2-7x32 scope. Use Crosman 7.9 gr or RWS 8.3 gr pellets.
Cheap smouth quiet lighting
I bought the 760. Complete complete piece of shit. The but stock broke off immediately when trying to pump it up. Absolutely terrible.
Same, i have the older version with magazine. It can't hit 2l bottle in 15m range. My B3-3 can hit 0.25l can on 25-30m range with no problems. B3 is way cheaper, made from steel/wood and more accurate
