Is the barrel rifled or is it a smooth bore?

Rifled, and very accurate. Read the reviews for more info than you'll ever want.

When you pull the cocking lever (the rod under the barrel) to the rear, the the piston and compression chamber are moved to the rear opening the breech and exposing the rear end of the stationary barrel where the pellet is inserted. The gun is single shot. Great gun, love it.

It is. It has a fixed barrel which I think keeps it more accurate than the break open model. It is heavier than the other Whisper models, and perhaps not as quiet as the modern bull whisper -- but deadly.

Yes and no. The outside is all plastic. The grip is rubbery plastic that is not scratchy or cheap feeling. The internals are all metal, including the barrel. The barrel is shrouded in plastic, which means no fingerprints or oiling the barrel to keep it looking nice.For the price, this gun is very well made, and even though it is light, it feels durable enough to handle average use, and it's heavy enough to not feel hollow or cheap.

The barrel has rifling so the pellet has spin as it leaves the end of the barrel. I was able to determine this by shining a bright light into the barrel in the cocking position.

No. Its barrel is smooth boar, not rifled. The design of the shell is also only to hold metal BB, not pellet.

it is a break bbl. and assuming it has rifleings, most guns do for accuracy. it is accurate,let me point out also-its very loud-.thats the #1 problem with this air rifle,advertized as quiet,but to me its as loud as a .22 rifle.

It has a rifled barrel,smooth trigger pull, feels good in your hand,and is quite accurate as well. Although my Daisy Avanti is superior, this one comes in a close second and costs much less. I sure like mine.

The barrel is rifled. Its a pellet rifle, NOT a BB gun. The BB would roll out of the barrel. Besides, you would not want to shoot BB's out of a spring piston rifle. It would be just like "Dry Firing" it. The rifle is capable of VERY GOOD accuracy using a PREMIUM pellet. If you have to shoot BB's, go buy a Red Ryder BB gun!

Yes it has a steel rifled barrel. It has a fixed sights that can affect the accuracy. But once you figure out how to compensate with the sights it is very accurate and very powerful

As with all pellet guns, it is has a rifled (spiral) bore. That's why it's called a rifle. Without rifling to cause the projectile to spin on it's axis, there would be no accuracy whatsoever. The only modern smooth bore range weapons are shotguns.

It is a single shot. It's a break barrel and very powerful. I have two I love em so much

No it is not. The barrel does, however, add a great deal of accuracy. I ended up having to drill a few holes in the center to stop paint from breaking, but after that little fix, my gun shoots more accurately than my dad's flatline barrel and my brother's 16 inch barrel.

The barrel is definitely not made of wood - it is made of some form of plastic. The wood grain finish only looks like it is made from wood.

This rifle, like many air rifles, has a 'fluted' barrel. This means there are several groves in a straight line machined inside the barrel. The pellet will not spin coming from this barrel.

It's a single shot break barrel action. I have the .177 caliber very powerful, extremely accurate and fun to shoot.

Dont know about the one you purchased. I purchased 2 of these and the barrel moves to all position including the last one.
