Barra Air Guns Sportsman 900 BB Gun Rifle for Adults, Pellet Rifles for Hunting, 177 Caliber Airgun with Rifle Scope - Shoot Pellets & BBS, 800 FPS

I have a geese problem, they poop on every square inch of my lake dock. First I bought 2 fake swans, that worked for about 2/3 weeks till they figured out they weren't real. Next a fake snake, that also worked for 2/3 weeks. Next a laser pointer works for a while, but they keep coming back. I don't want to hurt them so next I decided to try a pump BB gun where I could control the power of the BBs. I do like this gun very much, I think it's very well made, but shooting BBs from about 75 ft. away I think I have not hit one yet. I have other "real guns" and I'm not a bad shot but BBs at 75 ft. not so good. I've used 4 to 9 pumps, same result, over, under, left, right. , at this point I think they're laughing at me. Back to the gun, I think it's a great gun for a young persons first gun.

This rifle is handsome, lightweight and comfortable to hold. The pump seals appear to be of good quality and promising a long service life.First things first: I would not shoot BB's in it. The manual refers to the rifled barrel as "delicate". We all know that steel BB's can damage a rifled barrel, let alone a delicate one.Some warts and pimples:- The unique safety is finger breaking stiff to operate. A few drops of oil help.- The bolt action feels stiff and gritty. A drop of oil again.- The cam which locks the pump lever in the closed position is a bit stubborn. A drop of oil again.- The arrangement that the rifle can only be pumped with the bolt open is awkward. Lawyers ruling over engineers!- The trigger pull is heavy and gritty. I did not have the means to measure it but it feels about 5-6 pounds.It is crisp however, and with practice you know where the crosshairs are when the trigger breaks.- Loading pellets is cumbersome at best. The loading port is shaped like a groove or a channel and recessed into the body of the rifle by about half an inch, so a pellet cannot be placed in it, it has to be dropped from that distance. It drops in just right about half the time, more often than not it drops either standing up or upside down, or pointing backwards, or falling into the BB's magazine. When the latter occurs the manual instructs you to take the gun to a gunsmith. This is silly nonsense. All you need to do in this case is open the BB's loading door, shake the gun around a bit, and the truant pellet comes right out. This by the way will save you multiple trips to a gunsmith.The best part of this rifle is accuracy exonerating all of the above. With Winchester pellets, the scope zeroed, I get 5 shot 2-1/4" groups at 15 yards. One flyer removed, the group is 3/4". This is as good or better than the Umarex Ruger 10/22 without the headaches of leaking CO2.A word about the scope: It is very basic but it is not trash as other reviewers have stated. The field of view is very narrow and when mounting the scope you must adjust the eye relief distance to get any view at all. Clarity is good and you may adjust the eyepiece focus but it does not make much difference. The windage and elevation turrets do not click, you have to go by half turns, quarters, and eighth turns, not a problem.With the iron sights (they are actually plastic) I get comparable accuracy at 15 yards. The fiber optic sights are clearly visible in daylight. The rear sight is adjusted by a screw in a slot which allows it to slide sideways. With the screw reasonably tight you can still swivel the sight around the screw for fine adjustment. Whether this is a fluke or deliberate design I have no way of knowing but it works either way.

This gun is amazing but will require your patience to master. Without a scope, it comes with glow sights on both the front and rear sights, the trigger is extremely easy to pull, and the pneumatic pump is very consistent, as well as the speed your BB will travel at. There are some issues, however. First of all, the low-quality sight is difficult to zero, and it's hard to get a clear picture when viewing through it. This makes it hard to tell if the gun is inaccurate, or the scope is. Secondly, the stock and grip are low quality plastic, which is uncomfortable to hold. It is, however, all around a good gun.

Works as it should. The scope is a nice bonus

Grandson loves it!

First the box was damage , the pellet tin was crush to the point I had to use a flat head screw driver to get the thing open .For the price I’ve expected a little better materials , but this thing is mostly plastic, so much so that you can’t tell which part is plastic and which part is just fake metal cosmetic look (the screws ) .The bolt was extremely hard to pull back , some time it would get stuck , that even adult have a hard time pulling it .The two good thing is : fairly easy to pump 1-3 times (which is good for kids) the second is , it’s fairly accurate up to 10 yards or less with bbs , 15 yards with pellet , and as for a bonus : it does have plenty of power at close range to go through tin cans .Conclusion : look elsewhere , maybe for $35 , but I wouldn’t get it for any thing more .

Works great

The quality is not great. There’s a lot of plastic but it does shoot well.
