Page 32 - Barra 1866 Junior Reviews

Like the color and only takes one pump dont like how flimsy the pump is

Bought it to go shoot with my kids. They have Red Ryder BB gun's. This shoots great will get the Rosie for my wife. I love the automatic safety! Its great for kids

We bought the 1866 junior for our 11 year old son. My husband took him to a safe location with plenty of targets to shoot at, like aluminum cans and milk jugs. He had the best time and it showed us that he had a great eye. This gun will shoot pellets and bb's. You have to pull back the chamber this will show the bb going in, then pump it, pull back the hammer and you will see a very powerful shot. This is a great starter gun to train your children before they move on to bigger more powerful guns.

Beautifully made
Good quality

My 8 year old loves it

I love this little airgun, I've been hitting pretty accurate shots with it, and my little sister loves it too! Definitely worth every penny, I'd have given it 5 stars but the boxes the junior and the 1866 regular were too similar so I had grabbed the junior in my haste. Other than that, great gun, I love it.

It's a good looking pretty well made air rifle for the kids to have fun and learn on. They are so excited for all the fun to come. It's easy for them to use and light enough for them to handle on there own.

Received my 1866 Junior for Christmas and its easy to pump, fun to use, and solid

The junior model does not come with sight mounts, so you will have to find another way to mount your optic

Our new Barra bb and pellet gun has provided us with hours of fun. It's got a great look and feel to it. Also shoots really accurate.

I bought the Barra 1866 pellet gun just for my son and I to use target practicing. This is without a doubt my favorite BB/pellet gun I have ever owned. It's easy to use and pretty accurate and my son LOVES it. We will definitely be buying more!

At first when removing air gun I kind of had mixed reviews as the pumping handle was plastic and felt as it would break. After readying gun and shooting it with my 8 year old son, the rifle proved my first impression wrong. Gun was very accurate and strong. Rifle was way more powerful then the d#isy that I grew up shooting. You won't go wrong with this air rifle for a starter gun.

I was really only purchasing the Barra 1866 Junior because of the very sleek look it has. Upon getting it home and loaded and thus firing it at my make shift shooting range, I was very surprised at the power it contained at the one pump cocking. The ease of loading, cocking and firing makes this an easy user for a young shooter. I will be investing in a couple more for my family and I will be upgrading to the multi pump one soon.

I bought the 1866 junior for my son, he absolutely loved it. Bringing back the classics. At first getting used to the mechanics of shooting it was a little difficult, but after he got the hang of it, it became easy. I also appreciated the automatic safety button, that made it difficult to misfire

Perfect gun to start my child with. Really easy to pump and very lightweight. Looks amazing

Good craftsmanship and smooth shooting gun and accurate for a bb gun

I love how u only pump the jr. One time. It's a great first gun for kids. Shoots great.

Pros-
Shoots BBs and pellets
Appearance is nice
Box presentation is interesting
Very easy to understand instructions
Not too heavy
Uniquely made

Cons-
Slightly difficult to load pellets
Plastic stock feels cheap (we'll see if it holds up)
Many steps before firing

Over all it does seem to be a good gun, my son likes it a lot. Though there are multiple steps to firing it on the pellet function it is probably better for children for there to be lots of steps. Also although the stock is plastic it does make it light enough for children to carry easily.
It is very unique in that it shoots both BBs and pellets, my son loves that is does both.

I love how simple and easy it is to use, the only thing I dont like is the pump handle is not metal and could possibly break if not careful. Would recommend for everyone

I got it for Christmas and was super surprised and delighted. We went out and shot, I was impressed by the accuracy and the way it shot. It held about 50 bbs. I have shot it more than 200 times. It hasn't broken or shown any problems yet.

I got this gun as a Christmas present and I really like it and it works well, and I would recommend it for a Christmas gift for other people to. The only thing I don't like about the gun is that there are a few too many steps to actually shoot the gun. I still very much like it though.
