My family all got Red Ryders for Christmas a few years ago (thanks Dad-he bought a pile of the things) but mine shoots a full two inches to the left at 15 yards.  I can hit the beer can, I've gotten good at it, but I have to aim with the can not in my sights at all and there's no way to correct it.  Is there an inexpensive BB gun like the Red Ryder with sights adjustable for windage?  I just want occasional BB gun fun, not trying to break the bank, but have sights that let me be some kind of marksman.

How much do you want to pay?  There are 2 Daisy Avanti models that are tack drivers.  One(model 887) is a CO2 for about $500.  The other (model 753) is a single pump pneumatic for about $450.  Sights are pretty good.

Check Daisy outdoor products  https://www.daisy.com/catalog/rifles?catId=1

Haven't seen any at the CMP for a while,  Their rebuilt ones go for about $100

I put one of these on my daughter's pellet rifle and I'm happy with it.

How would I attach that to a Daisy?  Epoxy?

Ooh!  What if I epoxied a section of MagPul picatinny rail to it?  Then I could add a cheap red dot!

Nevermind.  Found this scope mount.  Daisy 4-power scope is just $10 more.

I don't understand the reason Williams calls that a diopter sight, there is no lens as near as I can determine, and I couldn't find anyone selling a peep with a lens for those sights.  I didn't think to dig around in the dusty corners for a Redfield peep with a lens.

Does a diopter sight by definition have some kind of lens? I've always thought the terms peep and diopter were interchangeable and both referred to this type of sight.

Obviously I'm no expert. My daughter just started shooting (she's 5) and I found she can shoot this type MUCH more easily than the stock dovetail, but aside from BUIS on my ARs I've never messed with stock irons before.

Depends on the gun. The pellet rifle I bought had a standard dovetail mount.  I unscrewed the stock irons and mounted the new sight in a couple minutes with a screwdriver and Allen wrenches.

I like your idea of epoxying on some picatinny rails though.  May want to check the size though, I think they'd be too wide for that Williams.  I'd check for you, but the pellet rifle is in my travel trailer at deer camp.

If I went the Picatinny route my Red Ryder would be wearing an AimPoint!

Update:

So I bought the cheap rail and Daisy 4X15 scope and they made no difference at all.  Ran out of both windage and elevation and my Red Ryder is still shooting about 2" low and 2" right at 25 feet.  Not only no improvement but almost no change at all.  Luckily, not an expensive experiment.

I think I'm just going to get a Crossman 2100 - it has a windage adjustable rear sight.

BY the way, someone DOES make a picatinny rail for the Red Ryder:
