It was Crosman:
Lots of answers to this question. The M1 is definitely cool. The Daisy Model 25 is iconic because of it's production run and numbers. The Daisy Red Ryder is famous because of the movie. Or maybe it's simply the one you grew up with - a Daisy Model 1894 in my case. |

Hmmm...does a home-made full auto BB gun count? When I was a kid, a friend of mine made one and it was a destructo-monster...  |

| Depends on what you mean by "best"? As far the most accurate BB repeater I've ever shot, it would be the 1970's to mid-1980's Daisy 880. For unknown reasons, those guns will shoot BB's perfectly straight to nearly 35 yards, while the newer BB rifles will not do that. And, at significant FPS (around 600 or better). I have tested this, but can't come up with a valid theory as to why it shoots BB's so incredibly straight. Some think it has to do with the internal barrel size being slightly smaller diameter than the newer guns, due to the newer guns having a very slightly larger diameter to make room for higher quality rifling grooves for better pellet accuracy. The old 880 and 881 of the early '80's had rifling that is nearly non-existent ( a few brushed-in scratches, and they called it 'rifled'). Other people I've talked to think it has to do with the way the air is released, via a direct release valve, instead of a hammer hitting a valve on the air chamber (such as the Crosman design). Possible aerodynamic differences in the two concepts as to how the high pressure air is applied to the BB? I don't know. |
