Barra 1866 Silver Reviews

I bought this to try and discourage critters from damaging my wife's vegetable garden. The gun is very well made for its price. The lever action is made of steel, very solid action. That surprised me. The non wood stock is sturdy, it doesn't feel cheap. Yes, it's plastic resin, but very sturdy. The octagon barrel is steel, so that too adds some weight to the rifle, so it feels sturdy in your hands. Overall very pleased with this purchase, powerful, accurate, don't know what else anyone could ask for at this price point. I have a hunch I'll use this for many years to come. I'd buy it again.

When I first received the rifle I was stoked to open the box. I thought that the stock and such was real wood from the pictures. To be honest I was disappointed and considered returning. Aside from that it's a great looking air rifle. When I shot the gun and I was fully convinced to keep it and is now one of my favorites. In a world where instant gratification seems to lure over everyone, the multiple pumps 3-10 could be tedious. However I found myself enjoying the ritual along with the use of the bolt action, and the safety. Although it is not real wood, you'd be hard pressed to find anything better for the price. Fun factor is far above it's price point.

This is a very nice looking air rifle that shoots straight and is very easy for my kid to pump and so far it's been an all around nice air rifle other than being a little difficult to get the pellet to load correctly every time

I BOUGHT THIS A WEEK AGO AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT FUN WITH IT. IT IS A WELL MADE RIFLE AND HAS ONE OF THE BEST PUMP SYSTEM I HAVE EVER USED. THE PRICE IS AMAZING FOR WHAT YOU GET.

I have multiple air rifles and air pistols and needed a BB focused air rifle to shoot cans and just plink around with instead of using my .30 cal or .25 pellet rifles. THIS 1886 RIFLE IS NICE and POWERFUL! **Definitely worth the money - plus I used a coupon code (LOYALLEGEND) I found on the internet worth $16.00** DEFINITELY A MUST-BUY if you want a powerful BB plinker!!!

I ordered thru WALMART - Special at $69 plus tax. Received today, 11-27-2023. Shot about 50 pellets (25 BARRA and 25 Crosman) while sighting in at 41 feet. Was able to sight it in (adjust sights), can't say lot for the horizontal adjustment (cheap ), but was able to get it. Like the Cowboy look and shooting it (easy pump up). I tested 4 to 6 pumps at 41 feet (seemed same accuracy). Difficult to load Pellets at first, buy found a method that works - lay peelt on the ledg and then roll it into the chamber (works nearly every time).

It is a nice air rifle. Very quiet and precise. But, have to pump 3-4 times for each fire is a bit tidious. It would be nice, if it is made: 1 pump for normal fps and 2-3 pumps for extra power. Perfect for backyard shooting practice and fun.

This is my son’s first gun and we were both excited to get this gun. It reminds us of the Henry Evil Roy .22 rifle that I own. It has the classic old west appearance and the fact that they made a pellet gun with the lever action look is simply genius in my mind. The weather has not allowed us to go shoot it yet but we are both anxious to go shoot it and also possibly go find a rabbit.

My 11 yr old son loves this rifle. Very accurate and easy to load. I gave it to him for Christmas we’ve had a lot of fun shooting at targets.

I love my gun because it's scope works so good and is really accurate. I have killed many things with this and I love it.

I purchased two of the 1866 guns for my sons for Christmas and we love them! We have had so much fun shooting cans and the targets.

What i like about the gun is how much ammo it carry and the pellets that can be shot out of it.

Was surprised by the way it shoots it's a nice frame hard shooting bb gun kids have a lot of fun shooting can would buy this brand air rifle agin

Perfect for a backyard range in town. Pumps easy. Accurate at 35 feet with 5 pumps. Not too loud. I didn't have any trouble loading pellets. I just sit the pellet down with my thumb on top of it and scoot it into place. I don't like the sights but can't complain about the accuracy using them. The front site is thin, and the notch in the back is wide. This requires putting the same amount space on either side of the front blade when it's in the notch. If the blade and notch fit better, centering would be easier. I will probably modify this, but it is working as is. This is obviously not a competition gun or a big game hunting gun. For the price, it is a good buy and does what it is intended for very well. Photo is the first 5 shots taken with a paper target. Two exact in the center, three up and to the right. 35 feet standing on a windy day. I was getting blown around a bit. Used the Barra pellets that came with the gun. Soda can for scale.

The Barra Silver 404 is extremely well crafted, built with quality components, and shoots true. I purchased the rifle for my 16 year old nephew who is working his way up to being an excellent hunter, like his Dad. The Barra 404 is perfect for him, and he loves it. He’s learning how to care for his rifle and proper safety. Thanks so much! Kind regards, Tom

This was perfect for my 11 year old son. He can actually shoot this gun on his own without my help. It does not require much effort to pump the gun. The gun is good quality and i really like the silver finish!

shoots beautifully, came with bullets to practice with. Great buy!!

It shoot good a straight I would recommend it my kids have lots of fun with it

I got the Barra 1866 cowboy series lever action multi pump bc and pellet air rifle, it’s strong and fun to shoot I highly suggest it

It’s a really heavy good quality gun, sturdy, very rigid, and fun to shoot love the old western look. But it to teach my son how to hunt with he loves it at his first real gun. Think I really need to get one for myself.
