I had a hand me down Daisy from my sister. It wasn't bad, had an adjustable peep sight on it with replaceable inserts in the front.

Was pretty damn accurate. Would take old dominos and put them way the hell out there and shoot them. You would see BB make a giant arc of about 10 feet to get out there but it would knock it down. Once you had the sight adjusted you could knock them down all day long.

I wish I still had it. I don't know the model but it wasn't a Red Ryder. I think it was fancier than that, had a sling on it and no saddle ring deal.

Got curious and looked it up. Champion Model 499. Dunno why we had that instead of a plain jane Red Ryder, but I really learned to shoot with it. See they still make them and they sell for $249 on the Daisy website, probably 1/2 that somewhere else.
