Page 19 - Barra Junior Sniper Reviews

It is good for beginner child. Pump action is a little hard. A little hard for an adult to pull lever out. But after that. It pumps good. easy feed. Easy sights. Straight shot. Once sighted in.

this is my seconed 900 . great gun for the price I have two PCP rifles but use the 900 more because of quick load and shoot . have killed many doves and digger sqrirrels . scs

One of the most realistic bump-rifles I have ever owned. The scope and accuracy of the weapon is very close to shooting a 22cal. The action and detail is quite amazing. Price is spot on- great value and very well built. I only hope that the racoons do not come around anymore !!!

I have a Sportsman 900. It doesn't give me that option to put the name of my rifle in so I thought I'd mention it here.
The scope isn't very good quality so I threw it away since it wouldn't adjust at all.
The rifle is decently accurate and powerful enough for target practice although I had gotten it for critter control. The main issue I have is switching from bb to pellet isn't convenient at all. After emptying the bb's ,loading a pellet is still difficult.
All that being said its a decent cheap rifle with the emphasis being cheap.

This gun was packaged well, clean, and the instructions were easy to understand. The accuracy of gun is on par with several other quality products I have purchased. I would recommend this product as it is well worth the price.

I really like the gun structure and the scope attachment to the gun however, when you go to pump the gun it takes to much to pull the part of of the gun. Overall the gun is an amazing product.

I was surprised by the accuracy and range of this airgun. The scope could be a little clearer but it definitely does the job. Anyone looking to buy a pellet gun I would recommend using Barra. Thanks!

Overall I think it's a great pump airgun,love the optic sites and good range,however adjusting the scope can be aggravating.

Not the 1866 The 900 I bought this on a whim to be different from my buddies who have Daisy and Crosman air rifles. We're in our 30-40's and love to camp and plink. The 900 was a nice show-off addition. The ergonomics and grip are built for me. The loading/pump system is great for teaching young people how to be responsible with projectile weaponry. Sweet spot is 5-7 pumps@ 25 yards (75 feet).

Great BB gun for the price, I like the way the sights are painted . Vwery accurate

Great air fun for the cost. Sportsman 900 very nice.

The gun is nice, my wife pumps it no problem and shoots well. Could never focus the scope clearly.

This gun is a very nice gun it fits perfectly in my hand and is small enough to conceal it.

This air rifle is overall great very happy with my purchase its accurate and light, easy to handle.
The scope needed some adjusting and so i found that i was more accurate without it.
I love this air rifle and would definitely recommend it.

Just received it in the mail. But I have already gotten it out and shot it and its accurate and shoots like a dream. My kids shot it and it was kid friendly and safe for them to use as well. It is light weight and easy to manage the scope is great and allows for targeting and adjusting.

Airgun is better made than I expected. BB velocity was stronger than I expected also. Set up a target using the shipping box with the airgun box inside to adjust the site. After only 5 pumps, the BB passed through the back side of the boxes from about 25 feet.

Site is a little hard to adjust. Not sure if I will use it. Gun was purchased to scare off woodpeckers and squirrels that find my house siding delicious. Very happy with the gun so far.

Absolutely love the rifle, the weight is perfect and stable. Easy to zero in our of the box. Only drawback is stiff trigger, Make sure to read instructions.

This is a great gun for the price, pump action is easy and the pistol grip was a great addition to the sportsman 900

i dont like the power rating and the scope isnt accurate

The Sportsman 900 is the first air rifle I've shot since the classic lever action model my parents gave me back in elementary school. It's been a long time, but I clearly remember having lots of fun shooting cans, boxes and imaginary bad guys. My experience with the 900 brings back that sense of nostalgia, with some modern touches.

I didn't really love the drop stock when I first purchased this airgun. However, the second time I shot it, that stock seemed more natural and I do like it now. The rifle is nice and light, and the length is good. It's been pretty comfortable for me to shoot from any position.

The 900 has had no trouble with accuracy in my backyard. I've gotten out to about 28 feet and after adjusting the included scope, I've had no trouble keeping pellets in a 9x9" target. Standing, I can consistently hit a 2.5-3 inch group. Resting the rifle on a chair or wall, I can cut that just about in half. Given my (low) level of expertise, I feel like the 900 is extremely accurate. Someone with more skill could easily hit a 1 inch group, right out of the box. I'm considering buying a different scope because the one that comes in the box is a bit small for my eyes. I have no complaints about the hardware itself. The adjustments are adequate and it actually performs well in my environment. If my eyes performed better, there would be no need for a change.

Thanks to the built-in dovetail rail, I've been able to swap the scope for an airgun-specific red dot a couple of times for a change of pace. That's been a little bit harder to shoot consistently, but I believe that's more of an issue with the optic that I chose. There's so little recoil that you could put a solid optic on the 900 and keep it at zero indefinitely. I found plenty of optics that will fit the dovetail directly and plenty of adapters that will convert the dovetail to a picatinny rail. So, the 900 will let you apply just about any optic that you prefer.

I've only tried to shoot the 3-dot sights once. I hit my back fence with the second shot, so I decided not to spend a lot of time making adjustments. Fortunately, I've found a piece of plywood to throw behind the target. Now I'm confident that I'll get those sights dialed in. Based on what I've seen so far, the 900 can shoot accurately across the board if I position the rear sights properly.

At this point, I've shot a little over 250 pellets and had very good results (normally with 3-4 pumps). BBs are not quite as accurate. After 50-100, I find that they tend to "float" more than the pellets do. I understand that's typical behavior, so no points off for that. I bought the heaviest pellets and the least expensive BBs that I could get at the time, so take it for what it's worth.

All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase. I would buy another one. I'm aware that some reviewers have had some issues with their rifles, but I've had a really good experience with mine. Time will tell, but I'd say that for the price, the Sportsman 900 is a great value and a lot of fun for backyard plinking.
