The Sportsman 900 is widely considered Barra's most tried and true multi pump pneumatic air rifle. It's consistent performance, along with its rugged and versatile design have made it one of the most popular pneumatic air rifles in North America. The 900 uses a variable power, multi pump pneumatic powerplant. The pump arm can be pumped 1 to 10 times to reach a maximum velocity of 800 FPS, making it capable of long rang target practice or short range, small game hunting. The 900 is purposefully a budget friendly air rifle, but was consciously designed and rigorously tested. The stock is made from a thick wall ABS plastic with a subtle texturized finish. The 20" rifled barrel is constructed of stainless steel and nestled inside an aluminum barrel shroud. The 900 design was inspired by modern sporting rifles. It has a pistol grip handle and a drop stock to allow for a good line of sight when shouldering the rifle.
