I would invite readers to click "buzz" link at top of page. Tom is a PA pro who gave a indepth review of this rifle. It was enough to get me to bite. The Black Ops is an 880 clone with major upgrades: the 11mm picatinny rail is a master stroke! The thin dove tail on my 880 is a worry, and I make sure not to bang the scope. The Ops rail is thick. The easy to grasp cocking handle feels great and locks down well. The hard sights are much improved from the 880. The front sight also acts as a muzzle guard - sorely lacking on the 880.
Things I would have changed:Change pump hook up! Ok, I have an 880, 77xs, M-4, and now the Black Ops. These are all inexpensive to collect and are serviceable hunting guns. I took the Ops head to head with the 880, and it was a dead heat on power and accuracy. Where old reliable (in production since 1972) still out shines the Ops, is trigger pull and pump behavior. The 880 has a short and crisp release by comparison. The Ops takes a harder pull. The Ops pump makes a loud "snap" because of a button that engages and disengages during pumping. So if you plan on hunting in the open field, anything will fly or run away within 30 yards of that racket. The 880 is silent. Now if you do it like me and prep inside a house, then sneak out to deal with pest animals, that will work. Still, that Ops pump needs to be re-designed for quiet action.
What others should know:Black Ops has a double meaning. It is a cool name, but also I believe it is Gamo covert operations. Check out the Bone Collector Cadet to see the similarities. Gamo, a big company, would not let an upstart firm rip off one of their designs like that. Or maybe that is what happened and Gamo doesn't know. Either way this is a great deal for collectors or a newbie. The little scope never got put on mine because I had a variable power one sitting in a drawer. Unlike $100 magnum springers that cause many buyers heartache, like gross inaccuracy and shattered scopes, for $50 a shooter gets a recoiless gun that is easy to sight in and scope with a basic 40-50 dollar Tasco or Simmons. A Bug Buster right here at PA would look great on this Ops. Either way the gun is a good value and worthy of a scope upgrade. Penny size groups at 15 yds for this shooter. Hammer pellets.

Very happy with our purchase. My son was looking for a lightweight, easy to use air rifle for critter control on our property and this fit the bill perfectly. The iron sights out of the box were dead on and the included 4x15 scope was easy to install and get a suitable zero. The trigger guard “blocking” safety is a great idea as well with an audible click and ease of manipulation.

This is my first bb-gun. The rifle looks cool, and the pump action is excellent. But the safety is a pain-in-the-butt. It almost seems to need two hands to operate, one on the safety and one on the trigger. I think the intention is to have the safety pushed forward and then touch the trigger to lock the safety in the off position, then aim, and pull the trigger to fire. However, we were unable to get the safety to properly disengage when moving it to the off position, so when firing, I had to use a second finger under the trigger guard to push the safety back a little further. It is definitely weird. Several much more experienced shooters had similar experiences with my new rifle. I'm not sure what's the matter, me or the rifle's safety mechanism, but it doesn't seem to work properly. In addition, the chamber would often get stuck half-open and wouldn't budge. Not sure what that was about either. I'm sure it's mostly user error, but like I said, a couple of hunters tried to use it and were thwarted too.

I just bought the 900 and super simple start up right at the get go. Instructions very straightforward and to be honest- accurate for such a inexpensive item. I surely appreciate the company's request to offer a gift in exchange for n honest review... only a reputable company does that. No wonder this item is sold out. I may look into other products. We'll see :)

I surprised my son with the 900 Sportsman Pellet Gun from Barra Air for his birthday, and it’s officially earned the family nickname “The Backyard Beast!” From the moment he unboxed it, he was grinning ear to ear — and honestly, so was I. The classic wood finish gives it a vintage feel, but don’t let the looks fool you — this thing pops! It’s accurate, powerful, and way more fun than I expected for a single-pump air rifle. He’s been safely hitting cans, bottles, and paper targets all afternoon, channeling his inner action hero (complete with slow-motion reloads and sound effects, of course). It’s also teaching him responsibility and safety — big bonus for this nursing school mama! Highly recommend for beginners, backyard sharpshooters, or anyone who wants a no-fuss, fun-packed air rifle. 10/10 — “The Backyard Beast” delivers every time!

this gun is crazy accurate. I swapped out the original scope for a 4x32 and this gun was splitting golf tees at 10 yards.

I purchased this product about a month ago through a large, online, retailer as a replacement for my former Crossman rifle. Overall I am quiet satisfied with the power and accuracy of the 900 series pump action Rifle with one exception: it's a single fire BB and a Single, and complicated pellet fire pump action rifle. If it only had some type of magazine that could hold 10 or 12 pellets at a time. Next time, put that in your development stage boys!

I bought this for my husband for fathers day. He was like a kid. He loves the fact it has a scope. My son immediately went to go shoot some targets. Said it was a fun gun, shot smooth. His only complaint was the scope was off but he didn't realize you have to set the scope. It's nice that it can shoot pellets or BB's. Great price for the gun for sure. Now with 5 boys and a husband I hope no one shoots an eye out or breaks one of my windows!!

I was wanting a little BB gun just to plink around with. After looking through many reviews I figured I would give this one a try. Great little bb/pellet gun at an affordable price. It’s not made with all the high end parts, but for the price it’s perfect. Looks good too. Not gonna get a little bb/pellet gun at the same price that is built any better. Pumps up and shoots great. I personally didn’t even take the scope out to attach, so I have no review for that piece

Was looking for a cheap pumpable gun with fast speeds. This is my first air gun but feels well made. Scope seems cheap so I will be upgrading it but still a good gun.

This gun is the perfect weight and power for hunting in the woods for squirrels and rabbits. Best bang for your buck.

This gun shoots consistently and is light. The sites are nice also.

Bought this for targets on my basement range so the distance is limited. I upgraded the scope to a bottom line Baraka, dialed everything in and it hits dimes at 50-75 feet. Have nailed things at 25 yards outside and didn't max pump it. Super fun. Accurate and surprisingly consistent.

Good to teach kids. Not very sturdy wish it was metal instead of plastic but decent enough for target practice.
