Well guys...thank you for all of your input. Yesterday I ran across an auction for a Beeman R1. On a whim, I submitted a bid, Last night I found out that I won the bid. So I guess I'll be shooting an R1- for better or worse. It's a .177 so I still may be in the hunt for a .22 at some point.

Thanks for your comments... Let me throw another question into the mix. I've heard some spring-gun hunters recommend the .22 over the .177 for game. But the velocity goes way down with the .22. Any thoughts on this?

Hello all. New gunner here. I'm planning to upgrade from my Crosman Sierra Pro .177 to an heirloom quality gun. I love shooting soda cans, but I also want a gun capable of taking squirrels and rabbits at 25ish yards. I've been looking at the Beeman R7 and R9 which shoot 700 and 935 fps...
