Page 2 - Barra Cowboy Series 1866 Reviews

Bought to battle rattle snake and other vermin on my property. And so far this thing is great.

I had just bought this this morning, and I love it. It is very fun to play around with, only downfall is the amount of times it needs to pump in order to shoot one time. But besides that it is great and really easy to set up.

This is such a great product it looks awesome with the gold accents

I bought this about a week ago after eyeing it in the store for a while and I was not disappointed. It's a ton of fun to shoot, easy to use and satisfactorily accurate with both BBs and pellets, after I adjusted the sights anyway. I really love the pump lever, it's smooth and much easier to operate than traditional 10-pumps due to the increased length. I can shoot it without fatigue for much longer than my 66 Powermaster and it looks way cooler too. I have a few criticisms, which is why didn't give five stars although it was close. The sights could be improved, the rear notch is a bit wide for the front post so alining the sights perfectly is difficult while shooting off hand. I also noticed that the front sight is basically a loop with a small cavity, why not stick some dayglo in there for a brighter bead? They also needed some adjustment which is a minor issue but wound up being a total pain. I'm not sure if the screw was enameled in place, completely over torqued or both but it was so tight I had to abandon my screwdriver for a drill in order to get it loose. Another minor issue, if you aren't mindful when you pump the lever can scrape up against the plastic of the receiver causing some cosmetic damage. Aside from that I love the action and just the design in general enough that I intend to buy the CO2 model when I can.

This gun is just plain fun. Very accurate shooting both bbs and pellets. It's good enough that I can shoot it in the hallway of my home.

Well firstly I would like to say if you are looking for a practice gun for your kids or even for your self, this is a must have to try out. It's very easy for kids to pump and and lightweight. It has enough force to put a hole through think tin cooking pan. It can be loaded very fast also so you dont have to waste time.

This is probably one of the better air guns I ever fired and at this price it point kind of surprised me. Pros: it's solid good weight, easy to pump, was very happy with accuracy nice tight groups. My Teenage daughter was all smiles shooting it. Cons: Not a fan of the load ramp, Good idea but I find it still doesn't help. Going along with the loading issues, the port for bb's to load into the barrel is direct opposite of pellet loading. I didn't know that was an issue till my daughter accidentally has pellets sliding into the bb port. You want to test design flaws give it to a kid.

Great craftsmanship on this one. Looks good and shoots good. Can’t wait to get some targets and see if I can hit the bullseye!

I bought this1866 about Just over a month ago , have shorter Probably 150 times .This thing works great The only problem I have, is , 75 years old Shake a little bit Fat fingers I can say Make it easy to load it for us, Old timers I have shop pellet guns Since I was back in the 50s Taking many a critter ! I have shot this thing at 20 yd. And it's not no more Then a 3 quarter " group My wife shot it today With 1⁄2" group LOL All I can say is if there's some way you can make it a little easier for us old guys to load it I'll shoot till the day I die Love this thing , I am buying 1 and 2 weeks for my wife This thing works great Shoot straight Hits hard Puts them down Yes I do have a scope on it Our open sites , I can shoot either 1And they both work great The only thing I can say Make it easier for us old guy with shaking hands to load, maybe drop the pellet straight in!

Great product my son loves it he’s been outside hunting squirrels all night

This rifle is awesome and amazing. To be able to shoot bbs and pelets is dream come trur.

beautiful, realistic, and well made. it performs very well, and my son love it

Awesome gun, does what you want it to every time. And you can’t beat the looks of it!

Purchased two as gifts for the kids. Moving up from Red Ryder’s. Overall, looks of the rifle are great. Length and weight of rifle is more in line to a .22 rifle. So obviously cheaper to practice shoot with the 1866, until they are ready to move up. Overall, nice rifle. Would recommend.

Just picked one of these bad boy's and am super stoked! It looks great & shoots straight. Love how it shoots both bb's and pellets so easily. Couldnt be more pleaseThanks Barra!

I purchased this model to start my grandson in shooting sports. We have had some really good times with it. Easy operation. Lightweight. Great starter gun. The sights were dead on after a slight adjustment for him. The instruction manual is very easy to follow and is full of useful information.

I bought about a week ago, and so far doing pretty good. I've fired it in wind blowing around 20mph and the thing is still pretty accurate(with small adjustments to deal with wind). The quality is pretty good for something in this price range too. It feels nice and good weight in my opinion

I bought this today and i felt like i was in a cowboy movie

Never should have bought. Need tweezers to load pellets. Half the time it doesn’t shoot BB’s. Very unreliable. Item number 1799.

I got it for my birthday from my grandpa and I’ve been wanting to shoot it everyday I really like it!
