Page 52 - Barra Cowboy Series 1866 Reviews

I always wanted a Daisy 1894 lever action, this is the closet thing to it I found. The 1866 has the classic lever gun look with the added feature of a octagonal barrel. Lots of potential power if you want it.

Great gun, shoots straight. The air pump can be awkward at times but the more I use it the more I am getting used to it.

Hi. I'm new to guns and shooting, and I'm not sure what direction I'm going. I got the cowboy series air rifle. It looks quite authentic. I'm out in Colorado and I love the cowboy look, and the BB gun has it. I just really can't wait to set up some targets in the backyard and see how good I can get! It's well built and it packs a punch. It's fairly accurate. It has a bit of weight to it that would challenge a child under 14 (I'm 28). It's a good BB gun for someone who wants to shoot but doesn't want to be too lethal (me). It would be a great gift for anyone who likes the Wild West of the Red Dead Redemption variety. The price is killer for someone who doesn't want to invest much in guns beyond just for target practice or hunting very small animals or birds.

Things I don't like: the pump. I understand that it's an air rifle and it needs a pump. When I saw it, I wanted nothing more than pump the thing under the trigger like a cowboy. But that's just me. The loading of the bb is kinda spotty, I have to shake it a bit to get the bb to load. Whether or not that's just me learning or a fault of the rifle or both, but it's a little tricky. That being said, it's a one at a time gun so it does take a bit between rounds.

The gun is dope overall. I'm so happy I got it; idk if I would be able to even afford a decent shooter that looks cool otherwise.

I bought this gun recently and I love it and so does whole family it fires well and is great for target shooting

Purchased this bb/pellet gun for my 12 year old Grandson to continue his gun safety training - Really like the quality and feel of the gun - My grandson is all smiles - This is better than my Daisy Red Rider - Showing all my friends so they will be able to do the same !!!

I like that the 1866 is solid, heavy duty, has some heaviness to it. It is a hard hitter. It looks really great. I love the octagonal barrel. The only complaint that I have is that the safety mechanism, which is meant to look like a cocking hammer, seems a bit wobbly and cheap, and could potentially wear out quickly. If it does, then I would have to use tape or string to keep it pressed down (firing mode). The trigger on the Barra Black Ops snub nose is also wobbly and loose, not solid. I don't know what it is, but Barra should correct that design, or improve it. They have the potential to be a top notch company. The 400E needs a few simple improvements, such as an upgraded speed loader, for one example. The stock on my 1866 also had some blemishes. It was nothing major, but just little things. That being said, I give it closer to four and a half stars, it is overall a very great gun...looks good, feels good, very solid and tough. I look forward to trying out with lead-free pellet varieties, including various alloys.

What I really Like is the good looks of the rifle barrel,stock and overall color.
Only thing I dislike is the very long Awkward and somewhat flimsy pump action

Loves that it uses bbs and pellets. Loves the way the gun looks and is very well made. Awesome purchase!!!!

It's a fun gun to shoot. Gets me ready for the next level rifles! Very realistic!

It is very accurate. Has plenty of power. I like the way it looks. I love lever action.

My son enjoyed shoot this gun. After he put about 20 pellets through i gave it a try. Well balanced, comfortable to shoot, and overall great authentic look!
He iss very happy with the gun...

Very beautiful and solid rifle and absolutely in love with the octagon barrel

Bought the 1866 rifle for our grandson. He just turned 6 on 8-23 and he loves it. A fine first gun for teaching gun responsibility thanks for making a fine product.

Very nice shooting and stylish looking well built air rifle.. thanks matches my Henry ..

Really like the vintage feel. Plenty of power and accuracy.

Wanted a quiet little BB gun for pop cans in the back yard. Out of the box, was able to hit a pretty small target at a decent range. Like that it reminds me of my Henry too. I may put sand in the butt like one other customer mentioned to weight it down a bit more. Solid purchase with no regrets.

I've been eyeing the Model 1866 airgun for several years and finally pulled the trigger. Same day I took it into the woods for a shooting session and was actually surprised at how accurate and powerful it was at about 40 yards. It looks absolutely fantastic and the pump level offers plenty of leverage to get it to full power with ease. I highly recommend this air rifle (yeah rifled barrel!) For plinking both long and short range, indoor plinking at low power, and short to mid range small pest control/hunting. This bb gun/Pellet rifle will get it all done and look amazing while doing it.

Great looking,shooting,and spot on target BB/ Pellet Gun. Give it 5 out of 5 stars and will refer this air rifle to anyone.

Love the feel and ease of operation of the rifle. Absolutely love the safety being the hammer. Great detail.

I love this gun it's a great gun and I use it everyday!
