Red Ryder Accuracy Expectations?

[Spitpatch]

This sounds like the kind of euphemism that makes a man hesitate to read the rest of your post lol

I believe you refer to the "Red Rocket Adult Version".

Just curious, is red ryder quieter than a bolt action .22 shooting subs suppressed?

Id imagine so? I cannot confirm but I do know you dont need ear pro while firing the RR.

Believe the cycling of action would be louder than the actual firing of it. Its only like 250-350 FPS.

Check youtube comparisons.

A genuine "cowboy from back in the day", 86 years old (killed a jailer in the Navy, could never enter Wyoming or Utah again because of Livestock crimes) gave me my first Daisy (a Cub) when I was 5. It was his "kitchen door gun" he used to shoot Magpies out of his feed shed.

I wore it out by the time I was 10. Golden Bullseyes came in Nickel packs, Dime packs, Quarter Packs, and 50 Cent packs.

My income level relegated me to Nickel and Diming it almost all the way (unless a birthday or such allowed for more).

An empty Nickel pack (about the size of your thumb, pressed tubular cardboard) was a favorite airborne target. Tossed as high as possible with the left hand, the right hand raises the cocked gun to fall on to the empty left hand.

I learned pretty quick to do "five for five", never quite made it to 10 for 10.

Dad paid me to feed and exercise his bird dog while he was on Remote Duty. (Justification for more allowance money than my Sister.) I paid $4.72 for a brand new Cub when I was 11.

I wore it out before I was 13.

As a little update, I will say that the new adult sized Red Ryder is doing great. My friends are impressed with the accuracy and the fit and feel of the bigger stock compared to our old childhood guns. For some reason this particular one does not feed as reliably as other RR's I've owned so I have to do the little shake each time. That's a compromise I'm willing to accept for how accurate it is. I also added a fiber optic front sight (One dollar on Daisy's website) after shooting a friend's gun that had one, and it sure is nice both for quicker target acquisition and for shooting later into the evening.

I tricked out my kids RR with an upgraded spring, ported air tube, and a red dot.
Ive also wanted to try this muzzle device.

I've shot mice at 5 yards with my sons Red Ryder its a 1960' era gun. A friend gave it to my son when he was 3 or 4 it had been his when he was a boy and he was pissed at his kid for something so wanted to make sure the kid didn't get it. My son is 41 this Christmas. The gun sits by my desk

I impulse bought a Red Ryder today at Wally World, first time shooting one since i was a kid and... its bad.

10 yards, prone in the grass, and its hitting all over a paper plate. We are talking 10+ inch groups. I don't remember the one I had being anything amazing, but it was way better than this!

Are they all like this now or should I take it back?

My first bb gun was a daisy lever action. It was pretty bad. I remember it canted noticeably to the left, but i got to where i could hit my targets 100% of the time, by taking the bias into consideration. Then I graduated to a Pumpmaster 760 and it was dead on every time. Maybe those lever action pea shooters are still good for kids who need to prove they understand safety, but I wouldn't expect much accuracy with it.
