One of the gifts I got for Christmas was a Barra Air Gun. The Schofield model. It's been a few years since I got a BB gun for Christmas.
I'm excited about this because it means I can shoot inside the house. It's hard to find a nearby place to shoot firearms, so this will help a little.
I've always wanted a Schofield, but they are pricey. This is a good substitute, and it is a lot of fun to shoot. Yes, I've been shooting it already.
I have a very old Daisy SAA-type BB gun. It's extremely weak, and the BBs come out sort of randomly (when they come out at all). You can suggest a general direction by aiming, but it will still decide whether or not to take your suggestion. This Barra is more accurate and quite a bit more powerful. It's higher quality all-around and feels solid in my hand.
I also love the system they use, where you put a BB into the tip of a fake cartridge, then load that into the gun. It gives you more of a feeling of shooting for real. I'm going to get more of the cartridges for faster reloads. I suppose I'll need to get more CO2 cartridges, too.
I am using a cardboard box full of sheets of cardboard as my backstop. It's about 6.5" thick, and the BBs make it about 4" through the layers. The shots don't even disturb the cats. I don't shoot if cats are in the room with me, though.
If you want a quality airgun, made of metal, for some shooting fun, I can recommend the Barra Schofield.
And, no, they aren't paying me for saying this (or even aware of me at all). It's just my opinion, presented to you as something you might like.
Tips are nice.
