Barra 1866 CO2 Pellet Rifle

Accuracy: At this time we have not made our Field Test Shooting Video or shot the Barra 1866 Lever Action 22 Cal CO2 Pellet Rifle. We are really looking forward to testing it out when we make our Filed Test Shooting Video Review for it hopefully soon! Barra claims is will shoot .22 caliber pellets up to 410 fps. We are not sure if this is for mid grain or light grain pellets but we will find out again when we make our shooting review video. The rear sight does have three positions of elevation so we should be able to find one that works here our Indoor Sea Can Airgun range where we setup paper targets at 30 feet away. We are hoping the Barra 1866 Lever Action 22 Cal CO2 Pellet Rifle shoots close to the bullseye out of the box as it does not have any windage adjustment to space of.

Pros:

• Not many rifles come in .22 Calibers. Should have a bit more down range power over .177 calibers.
• Almost all metal construction with good weight and feel to it.
• The Faux Wood stock looks very realistic, hard to tell it’s plastic!
• Octagonal recessed barrel adds to realism.
• White writing is mostly under the barrel so fairly discreet.
• The gold receiver and but plate add to the look of quality.
• Rear sight has three positions for different ranges and sighting types (standard low, peep mid, high distance).
• Also have the option of mounting a red dot or magnified optical sight on the rear compact picatinny rail.
• Dual 12 gram CO2 system is less expensive and reduces the cool down effect while allowing for lots of pellet reloads between heaving to change the CO2.
• Has a secondary safety on the lever, it must be pressed into the stock to shoot, kind of like a grip safety.
• Claimed 410 fps should be more than sufficient for mid-range shooting.
• Lever action rifles are just so much fun to shoot!

Cons:

• Rear sight is not adjustable for windage.
• More than likely going to lose some shells if you are shooting outside in the yard as they all eject into the grass or who knows where? Will probably need to buy some backup shells over time.
• You will have to hold the lever snug to the stock or the trigger will not work.

Comments: We were super excited this year at SHOT Show when we went to the Barra Booth and the Barra Team showed me their new Barra 1866 Lever Action 22 Cal CO2 Pellet Rifle. We also spoke about how the .22 caliber version should be Canada friendly as it was under 500 fps. Here we now and we finally got our hands on one and it is nice to have a .22 Caliber Replica CO2 Lever Action Rifle available to us Airgun Collectors. Sure Umarex has their Legends CO2 Shell Loading BB Rifle but we like The Barra 1866 shooting pellets over BB’s. Price point for the Barra 1866 Lever Action 22 Cal CO2 Pellet Rifle is very reasonable for what you get as it is a lot of gun for the money. We are really looking forward to seeing how well it shoots and if it can get close to the claimed 400 fps.
