Daisy Powerline 901 is another model in the range of American Daisy air rifles offering a very good price/performance ratio. Its shape resembles a classic black Winchester-style rifle. The all-metal body is complemented by a forend and stock made of durable polymer. Compared to classic Daisy air rifles, this model features a front sight with fibre optic insert and a height- and windage-adjustable rear sight.
Besides the air rifle, the set also includes a 4x15 riflescope, 500 pellets, 750 steel BBs, shooting glasses and ShatterBlast targets with two plastic holders. Thanks to this, you need nothing more for fun shooting than a place where you can shoot safely.
The polymer on the stock and forend is chequered to ensure a secure grip. This rifle has a significant advantage in that it uses two types of ammunition: steel BBs and 4.5 mm pellets. On the left side you will find the lid of the magazine, which holds up to 50 steel BBs. If you want to shoot pellets, you have to load them into the chamber one by one.
The shooting procedure is very simple. Just cock the bolt lever, engage the safety, pump with the forend, insert a pellet into the chamber and close the chamber. Then simply aim, disengage the safety and fire. For more accurate shooting you can use the adjustable rear sight or the 11 mm mounting rail for attaching a riflescope. Shooting with the Powerline 901 can also be very dangerous. After ten pumps the rifle fires a pellet with an energy of 10 J.
Although the manufacturer states that children from 16 years of age can shoot with this gun, an adult should always be present. They must not only supervise shooting safety, but also pump up the rifle for weaker children. Safety is also ensured by a manual safety in the trigger guard area, which is easily accessible with the index finger of the right hand.
