Scope
The telescopic sight has some problems.
1. the horizontal cross hair is broken, but both sides seem to stay in the same place and the left side crosses the vertical hair so the aim point is still there.
2. the adjustments do not go far enough to put the scope aim point on the point of impact.
3. for me the biggest problem is that it's very difficult to get your eye in just the correct spot. This may be because this is a 4 x 15 scope. That means it's a 4 power scope with a 15mm dia objective. So, dividing the 15mm by the 4 power gives an exit pupil of 3.75mm and that image size needs to be matched by the pupil of your eye. Looking at scopes on eBay with a 3/8" dovetail shows that a common scope is the 4x32 which has an 8mm exit pupil and the same power, so much more forgiving in terms of eye placement.
I have on order from eBay this scope: CenterPoint Rim Rifle Scope 4x32mm with 3/8" Dovetail Rings, Duplex Reticle by seller: atlanticsmall (under $40 including shipping) This scope gets high marks in a YouTube on air rifle scopes and is the one made by Crosman for their air guns.

Crosman P1377 American Classic Pellet
Pistol
Red Ryder model 1938B Fig 1 & 2
This is the classical lever action repeating BB rifle.
The stock is made from a board that's slightly more than
13/16" thick.
1938B was made between 1979 and 14987.
Quick Skill (Quick Kill) Model 95B Fig 3
& 4
The stocks on the 95B are very similar to the stocks on a real
rifle. It's intended for training in instinctive
shooting, i.e. without relying on the sights. This can
be done by having someone throw objects into the air.
(The box contains two eye protection glasses). The box
is marked Model 197B, which may be the number for the set
rather than just the rifle? The instruction booklet says
Model 199B B*B Gun. Model numbers 197B and 199B do not
appear in the Daisy Outdoor Products Air Rifle Chronology.
95B was made between 1978 and 1998.

Background
Daisy
(Wiki)
has been making BB guns (Wiki) since
the 1890s. The early air guns were designed to shoot
lead shot as made for shotguns. In the mid 1920s the
American Ball (bearing) Company started making "Bulls Eye"
ammo for BB guns. Being steel rather than lead it worked
better and daisy later bought the company.
BB guns are part of the Air Gun (Wiki) group. The two most common calibers of Pellet guns (Wiki) are 0.177 and 0.22. Where the 0.177 pellet is the same size as a BB and the 0.22 is the same size as the 22 rim fire (Wiki) bullet.
The Daisy Model 120 is a 0.177 caliber pellet gun. I think it also shoots BBs.
Also see my Popguns web page since Daily made many of those.
These are what's called Spring Piston air guns (Wiki). If the metal coil spring is replaced by gas the gun is called a Gas Piston air gun (Wiki). These have a number of advantages over Spring Piston air guns, the main one being more accuracy, less movement and quieter.
What today are called pellet guns, i.e. compressed air powered were called Gas Operated Firearms in the 1800s patents.
Later patents(starting about 1900) use the term "gas operated firearms" for semi or full auto guns that are powered by the gas generated from the cartridge.

brighter and with better colors. Note the cross
hairs are thick near the edges and narrow at the center. |

Fig 8 First shots would not even hit
8-1/2 x 11 paper. Notice the elevation wheel is all the way down and still not enough, so shimmed under the front ring to raise front of scope using a double thickness of 3x5 card.  |

lot of walking. Note paper shim under front ring. |
Fig 10 Added cardboard box to confirm
initial shooting very high. But even after
screwing elevation all the way down was still many
inches high. |

Crosman P1377 American Classic Pellet
Pistol
The thing that recommends this model is that there are a large number of modifications available to fit this .177 caliber pistol and the companion P1322 pistol in .22 caliber. As well as being reasonably priced on Amazon prime (about $50 including shipping).
The problem I have is my eyes will no focus on the rear sight, front sight and target all at the same time, so am looking into getting the 459MT Crossman P13xx to 3/8" adapter and a 3/8" rail pistol scope.
This problem of focusing on the target, front sight and rear sight all at the same time as well as the problems of the telescopic sight were addressed by Sir Howard Grubb F.R.S. in his August 1901 paper titled A New Collimating-Telescope Gun-Sight for Large and Small Ordnance. This was the invention of the Reflex or Reflector (Wiki) sight, aka: Red Dot sight. The key feature is that the reticle and the target are both at infinity so your eye does not need to refocus.

Fig 2
The dot is focused at infinity so when it's in focus for a photo the sight itself is very out of focus.
Fig 3 The mounting can be reversed to work with either
7/8" or in this case 3/8" dovetails. It did not clamp so some 3x5 card stock was used to ship the 459MT to be wider.

The problem with the 459MT mount or maybe with the barrel itself is that when side force is applied to the scope the barrel twists. It's very rubbery. Maybe moving the mount all the way to the back or to the front would make for a more stable setup?
Targets
The actual size of a target is not as important is the angle it subtends. 1 Minute Of Angle (MOA) is about 1" at 100 yards.
Crosman Squirrel Reset Target (CSRT)
This is a pellet only target (.177 up to 1200 F/s or .22 up tp 950 F/s. When the main target is hit it falls back out of sight, when the lower reset target is hit the main target reappears.
Yellow targets are 1/8" think, black background is 0.1" thick. Height from top to tail to point of stake is 19".
