Beeman First Groups with used Beeman R9 .20

I got this gun off AOA, might have paid too much but I don't know. It has a Maccari tune kit. Papers from AOA showing just under 12 ft/lbs using H&N FTT 11.42gr pellets. I thought that might be too low but man does this thing shoot smooth, I can't feel anything when cocking it and no twang that I can hear. It came with a Bushnell Banner 4-12 x 40 scope that I am going to have to replace. Not going to say it's junk but I want mil dots. So my option is to take the Hawke off the Hatsan and put on it and then the Bushnell on the HW50S and the original scope back on the Hatsan. I also got a Centerpoint 4-16 somewhere I could put on the Beeman but need high mounts

These were shot at about 50' on a table with a folded blanket to rest my hand on. These were the first shots on paper with the .20 so I'm sure there is room for improvement. I think it likes the H&N pellets better than JSB.

For the targets, I was aiming at the bottom right corner of the black tape. The Hatsan I aimed at the bottom right corner if the duct tape and they shot low.

Very nice. I have had tremendous success utilizing Vortek kits in these rifles. If you plan to shoot at primarily 25 yards or less, I wouldn't touch it.

If along the way you want a little more power, ask Tom at Vortek to produce a kit for you engineered to produce 13 to 15 fpe. The rifle will still cock easily and perform very smoothly.

Enjoy - should be a rifle you can pass down for generations.
