Daisy Outdoor Products has announced its new special-edition Christmas Dream Red Ryder, just like the one from the cult classic A Christmas Story.

It comes with a compass in the stock and a sundial for telling time. While it may not be the gun of choice for protecting the family from Black Bart or taking ducks on the wing, the new Daisy Christmas Dream is the perfect tool for teaching gun safety and marksmanship skills to the youth in your life.

For more than 80 years the Red Ryder has been a staple on youngster’s Christmas wish list, and this special-edition BB gun makes that dream come true. Generations have depended on Daisy to manufacture the tools that allow beginning shooters to learn gun safety and marksmanship in a safe manner, and the Christmas Dream Gun is made for that job. With a manual crossbolt safety and an adjustable rear sight and ramp/blade front sight, this lever action provides the experience of shooting a firearm in a low velocity, safe manner.

All Daisy Red Ryder BB Guns feature top-quality craftsmanship and wood stocks and forearms, and shoot at 350 fps.

The Christmas Dream Red Ryder BB Gun has an MSRP of $28.60 and is available at Walmart and walmart.com.
