You don't get much for your money now days so I was surprised at the power that the rifle has. I've let my grandson shoot at boxes in the garage with cheap BB guns, but I probably won't let him with this one. The BB goes right through 1/8th inch paneling that I was using as a backstop behind the box targets. At 25ft the BB makes a pretty good mark in a 50 gal steel barrel. The scope is cheap and I couldn't get it to focus or adjust for accurate shooting, but the open sights are nice and easier to shoot with. The magnetic bolt makes it pretty easy to load a BB. The Pump action is a bit hard to pump and not get stuck in the home position. I haven't had the grandkids try it yet, but I'm betting they will like it

I bought this product about two weeks ago. My daughter and I enjoyed shooting targets for well over an hour last weekend.It took some adjustments to get it sighted in,but after some small tweeks it was bullseye everytime.

Pretty good gun for practice. I wouldn’t hunt anything with it.

I bought this rifle for my son who is 10yrs old. The rifle is very good and fun to shoot. The only thing that seemed to bother me about the gun is the short length of the bolt action. Over all a great purchase!!!

Pros: - A good varmint gun that's powderless! Just need pellets and pump the air. No expensive bullets required! - Quiet. Helpful while taking down rabbits while hunting big game without blowing out your hunting area with a .22 caliber "bang". Or dumping mink that are after my chickens and not getting the neighbor's feathers ruffled (pun). - Tough material (the stock could break with some force though so be careful). - Great youth starter gun. - Adjustable open sights (forward/back, and side to side). - Nice design (looks cool). Cons: - Couldn't get the scope to zero in, so not using it. Going to look at a better air rifle for long distance shots with better scope and accuracy. - The screw wouldn't tighten sufficiently to lock down the open site side to side adjustments. I didn't want to try cranking it down and risk damaging the plastic site, so just going with it to see how I need to adjust it with my fingers before each shot. - Plastic open sites, susceptible to breakage. - Not as accurate as hoped. I still had a hard time getting accurate center grouped shots with the open sites. I prefer high accuracy for small game. I'm figuring I need more time with it to adjust to how it shoots and how I can improve my shots. - I don't like how it clicks at the end of each pump. I put my hand over the latch while pumping to keep the noise down (especially if I'm hunting a varmint). Overall, I think this is a great starter gun for youth that would be a lot of fun for them, and it has some merit for targets within 25 feet. I love the option of using air to propel the pellet as opposed to gun powder.

Good gun for starters. Very light weight and shoots straight. Simple to use for all ages.

This gun is a relief from shooting CO2 pellet guns that are frequently frustrating and more costly to operate. I like the consistency of every shot being reliable and having the same power each and every time it is fired. The contour and weight of the gun is solid and easy to handle. I was impressed with the accuracy and sighting of the gun right out of box (I haven't utilized the scope yet). The safety was a little awkward at first but got over that quickly. A great gun for the money.

Everything about this rifle is amazing EXCEPT the pellet loading. It is FAR too difficult to load, especially for older persons with compromised dexterity and eyesight. Surely you could design the loading port to be more user friendly.

I ordered two of these for my boys this last month. We had been given a pellet rifle but with the wooden stock, the weight was too much. The break barrel feature of it was also too much for the boys to handle. After reading reviews, I found the Barra rifles and ordered two. My boys like the feel of the rifle. It is lighter than a wood stock for sure and the break barrel tension is such that my boys are able to cock it themselves. The accuracy is nominal. Though they come with scopes, we removed them as they might get knocked around a bit. Learning the skill of the “iron sites” is needful these days.

Great Airgun. Works well. Sight is good. Would recommend

Love this rifle! Extremely accurate and easy to pump! Great power with pellets. I never use bbs. They’ll ruin the rifling. Wish they had it in .22.

Recently bought the 900 as my first bb gun and so far have enjoyed its accuracy and dual uses of pellets and bbs.

The 900 shoots really well with just the iron sights. It is very accurate and I feel very confident shooting my targets with it. I am not sure yet if I’ll use the scope, but I will mount it shortly and shoot with it. The materials, manufacturing and assembly of the 900 appear to be of high quality standards. Plus for an air rifle it has that is a modern 21st century rifle design. Very easy to load, pump and shoot. I have had a lot of fun with the Sportsman 900 Air Rifle so far.

I purchased this product a few days ago and have already been impressed with it's overall performance. This rifle is definitely worth the price. It's a great value and seams to be fairly sturdy.

Just got this to help with the raccoons that killed my butt nugget machines. This will do so nicely. I’m looking forward to defending my baby dinosaur's.

I bought this rifle for small invasive varmints. Its accuracy and durability has proven to be very satisfying.

Just purchased this product on 8/19/24 and couldn’t be happier. The ease of use and functionality of this air rifle is fantastic,for a very reasonable price.

I am very Happy with my purchase and would not hesitate to do it again 11

Just received this rifle morning. I read all the instruction manual and then headed to my backyard "range". It only took me a couple of shots before I was dead-center. Fun to shoot. Good teaching tool for my young students.

Nice rifle definitely a step above the old daisy and crossman for the price Iron sight is a bit loose and moves around but easy to see and adjust
