While not the most powerful, and not the most accurate, they are among the best pumpers. They can hold a dime sized group at 20 meters, they can break through a 1 and a half pine board consistently at 20 meters, they will pass the gallon jug of water behind the bottom of a steel soup can test consistently.

I am speaking of the Daisy 901, Daisy 880, and Winchester 77x/77xs multi pump air rifles.
In 1972 Daisy introduced there first high power adult air rifle, called the Daisy 880. The first version was smooth bore, though that did not last long before it became rifled. Since its introduction the Daisy 880 has been proving itself as a good hunting air rifle. Mitsubishi 8dc engine manual.
At the time of its introduction the Daisy 880 was a magnum air rifle. Still is, though now it is at the lower end of the magnum power scale, do to the useless rifles that can do super sonic.
The Daisy 880 is a 9FPE air rifle with the correct pellets. That is pretty powerful for a .177 caliber pneumatic rifle of any kind, beat out only by the Crosman Legacy 1000 in multi pump pneumatic rifles, the PCP’s that are more powerful are way to expensive to be worth it, and the springers that are more powerful are more of a bad joke.
About the Design of the Daisy 880:
Murgee auto typer crack. The Daisy 880 is one of the best designed multi pump rifles on the market, ever (to date).
The pump linkage and leaver is designed to minimize pumping effort, to an extreme point, while still compressing a lot of air. The air chamber is as close to ideal in size as is possible, and shaped so that it funnels into the transfer port thus making the air flow as smooth as possible when firing the rifle. The exhaust poppet seal is lifted away from the transfer port from the opposite side of the air chamber, and is well balanced in how the pressure acts on it. The transfer port leads into the barrel at an angle toward the direction of fire, thus minimizing the effect of corners on air flow. And the hammer pulls the exhaust poppet completely open and keeps it there until the gun is cocked again.
The power plant is about as well designed as is possible. The only improvements are reversing the law suite inspired limiter slot and flat spring. Other than that the only thing that could be done to improve things is to have a higher volume pump. Now there are other things that can improve the power, though they are the kinds of things that would increase the retail price of the rifle, thus making them best left to the after-market airgun modifiers (airgun smiths).
Through the years Daisy has produced premium versions of the Daisy 880, that are all still exactly the same as the Daisy 880 inside, just better stocks, receivers, sights, barrel stabilization, etc. These models all have 9 as the first digit of there model number. The current premium version is the Daisy 901.
The Winchester is just a Daisy 880 with a thumb-hole stock.
So functionally these are identical to the Daisy 880, 100%.
Daisy tends not to come out with a bunch of new models for marketing, for the most part they stick with what works releasing new stuff when there is something new that is worthwhile. This holds true for these rifles.
Up until June of 2016 (last year), these were the most powerful .177 caliber multi pump rifles on the market for at least the last 20 years. And even now there is only one more powerful, the Crosman Legacy 1000.
In accuracy these have always been way better than there price indicates. This continues to hold true. My Crosman Legacy 1000’s are a little more accurate, though not by much.
And there is not another multi pump air rifle on the market that can produce the power and accuracy with as easy of a pumping effort, there never has been another.
If you do not have any trouble pumping the Crosman Legacy 1000, it is the best deal in .177 caliber multi pump air rifles there is. It is the most powerful of the entire pack, it is the most accurate of the pack. Duke nukem 3d 1.5 free for mac. Though get it before Crosman cheaps out on something and reduces the effective power (like they have done with all there multi pump rifles).
The Daisy 880 and those based on it 100%, have never been cheapened, they are still powerful and accurate rifles. As such they are always worth recommending. They are easier to pump than the Crosman Legacy 1000, which can be helpful to those that are not able to pump the Crosman Legacy over many shots.
If you go with a Daisy, the Daisy 901’s composite stocks and receiver housing does seem a little sturdier than the plastic of the 880. Though the Daisy 880 plastic has proven itself to last a long time. The Daisy 901 is slightly more difficult to pump than the Daisy 880 do to a shorter pump lever, though still a lot easier than any of the Crosman multi pump rifles.
I’m very excited to welcome a new manufacturer to AirGunWeb.com! Daisy has provided us with one of their Powerline 1000SB break barrel air rifles to review. I’d been asking them for several months and they gave us a call a few weeks ago to let us know that it was on the way.
I’ve had the opportunity to put some pellets through this rifle over the past couple of weekends and I have to say that I’m VERY impressed. What initially caught my eye about the Daisy line was the fact that it was manufactured in Turkey and not China. I’ve been eager to really see if there is a difference.
Daisy Powerline 1000SB rifle with 3x9x32 Scope
Upon first glance, the Daisy Powerline 1000SB is built very much like all other break barrel rifles. It has a nice set of open fiber optic sights, scope stop, adjustable trigger, automatic safety, and composite stock. This particular model was shipped with Daisy’s Powerline 3x9x32 air rifle scope. I like this scope, for the most part, but this rifle NEEDS a high powered scope with adjustable objective to get the most from its potential accuracy. Below are some more photos of the Daisy Powerline 1000SB rifle.

From the first shot, I noticed this was not like most other entry-level break barrels. There is a significant “thump” when the spring is released. The next thing I noticed was how fast this rifle shoots. I was so curious that I decided to go grab my chronograph and check the velocity. Now when most manufacturers put 1000 FPS on the side of their rifles, they are talking about a “maximum” velocity and that with very light pellets. The Powerline 1000SB shot regular pellets, in the 7.9grn range, at 970FPS! When I switched to lightweight RWS Hobby Pellets that climbed to over 1000 FPS. This is truly a 1000FPS rifle.
As with most rifles in this price range, the trigger was less than stellar. While there is an adjustment screw, I could not see where it made any difference in the firing of the rifle. The trigger is stiff and unpredictable, which makes it hard to get all the accuracy this gun could deliver. I did get sort of used to it after a while. I’m going to ask Daisy if I can keep this rifle for a while to see if, after a few thousand pellets, it gets any better. Hopefully they will let me. Another thing that I was not crazy about was the hollow feeling of the stock. It tends to exaggerate the sound of the recoil in your ear when you are shooting.
Daisy’s trigger with adjustment screw.
Very unique “clamping” feature. Rather than just expecting pressure to hold the
barrel in place, Daisy crafted a means of gripping a stop bar between the spring
and the notch you see above.
Daisy’s “stop bar,”for lack of a better description, ensures that the barrel
returns to the same position every time. I’ve never seen this on a rifle before.
When it comes to power, the Powerline is by far the best I’ve seen in this price range. On average it sells for $149 as a combo. The only other rifle that comes close would be the BAM B26 .177 and it retails for about $180 without a scope.
Once on the range it only took a few shots to find the right pellet. I settled on the Crosman Pointed Pellets after trying several different types. Generally speaking, pointed pellets worked better than wadcutters, hollow points and domed pellets. While the velocity was way up there, we did get some variance, something that I was not expecting. Now I know that shooting through the chronograph at slightly different angles can cause variances, so I’m planning on taking another look at a later date. In the mean time, here is what we got today.
Crosman Pointed Pellets
High – 973, Low – 933, Average – 951, Difference – 40 FPS
(I was not expecting to see a 40 FPS difference.)
When it came to accuracy, this rifle did not disappoint. The first group was shot using the PowerLine scope from about 12 yards. The second group was shot from 20 yards with my Leapers 3x9x40 AO scope. The difference between using the included scope and the Leapers scope was very dramatic. I forgot just how nice Leapers scopes are. With an AO scope and Mil-Dot reticule, you could really get the most out of this rifle.

Ok, to summarize, the Daisy Powerline 1000SB far exceeded my expectations. I was hoping that the “made in Turkey” would make a difference and it did. The rifle lived up to its 1000 FPS claim and exceeded it with RWS Hobby Pellets. Not only does this rifle live up to its velocity claim, it does it with excellent accuracy to boot. The trigger leaves a lot to be desired, but I’m hoping it will smooth out over time. It is fairly hard to cock, one of the hardest, but I’m guessing that is why it can generate the velocity it does. The open sights are quite nice and useful for those close quarters needs. With the scope, you should be able to hit a quarter at 35 or 40 yards if you are a steady shot. I’ve got some more testing to do before I can know the full potential of this rifle, but I’m very impressed.
Next up will be some more BAM Products starting with the long overdue B26 .177 update and the B40 .177 update. Please visit often and don’t be bashful about dropping us a note!
