what’s the best selling airgun in the US?

[eeler1]

Irrespective of spring v. pumper v. pcp, any type.  Not necessarily what forum folks buy, but including general public and yeeh-who and bubba.  Im guessing a Gamo of some sort, maybe the varmint?  Crosman nitro- something?

[Rohmpm]

I would bet a Daisy Red Ryder.

[LTU-013]

I would say - whatever is available in Walmart
I doubt any other seller can beat Walmart volume

[Motorhead]

Crosman nitro venom or other variants of the B19 platform ... WAG

[bantam5s]

It's the Daisy red Ryder, no question.
Airguns are still " bb guns " to most folks , and are for kids.

[avator]

Be interesting to really know. First one that comes to my mind would be the Daisy 880. But then I start thinking about it and consider how long others like the model 25 and Red Ryder have been around. Then my mind goes to the Crosman 1377. And who can forget the Marksman pistol?

B19 as Scott said easy to work on reliable . David

[DevilsLuck]

I'm thinking the "Red Ryder" just because it's most people's first gun as a youth. Possibly the 760 Pumpmaster?

[bandg]

+1 to Red Ryder and 760.  I had both as a youngster and still have a Red Ryder somewhere in the shop for dispatching mice. 

[SagaciousKJB]

Honestly I've never even seen a Red Ryder outside of a Christmas Story.

Seems like around here Daisy 880s are the most ubiquitous.  I don't think I knew a kid that didn't have an 880 growing up.

But I do know that between the Daisy Red Ryder, 880 and the Crosman 760 and 2100, that one of those is the best selling.

[Nomadic Pirate]

808

[cobalt327]

I'd say the Red Ryder or Buck. Then 880.

[Motorhead]

What sells the most NOW DAYS and what sold best YEARS PAST is vastly different.
Go back 30 years or more and likely Crosman 760's or 1377 type Pump Stroke guns .... Benjamins and Sheridans all being PRE-CHINA invasion

First time Daisy Red Ryder BB, pellet Crosman 760, for the all time custom Crosman 2240, PCP discovery.

You're not wrong, but for the consumer, the things are disposable, so those aren't going to be influential features.

CO2 is popular with the kiddo's, though in the 'burbs I'd say airsoft has taken a big chunk of the market.

In terms of current sales

Amazon lists them as:

                  #1. Gamo 6110017154 Varmint Air Rifle .177 Cal. ...
                  #2. Daisy Outdoor Products Model 1938 Red Ryder BB Gun. ...
                  #3. Gamo Swarm Maxxim Air Rifle. ...
                  #4. Crosman Pneumatic Pump Air Rifle .177 Caliber. ...
                  #5. Daisy 880 Powerline Air Rifle Kit, Dark Brown/Black, 37.6 Inch.

Pyramyd lists the top selling rifles as:

                  #1.  John Wayne Little Duke BB gun
                  #2.  Black Ops Junior Sniper Combo
                  #3.  Umarex Legends MP40
                  #4.  Gamo Whisper Silent Cat
                  #5.  Benjamin Marauder

Other dealers probably have other top sellers and, of course, neither lists includes pistols. of which I would guess that 1377/1322 and 2240 are near the top.

[xtred1]

I would think it has to be 13xx 2240 series. I see more folks with those even if they have something else too

[eeler1]

Interesting.  Other than the Amazon/Pyramid lists, none of the suggestions are in the 1200 fps range.  Wish I knew what sells most at Walmart, as LTU suggested.

At Walmart, my bet would be on the Daisy, and a BB gun. A lot of parents buy their kids toys at WM, and BB guns are generally considered toys by a lot of people.

 If this helps at all I have had 90% of these guns in my life  gracious I'm ADDICTED !
