Good feedback. Thanks. So none of you have had issues with shifting point of impact? I read some reviews where people said that was a real problem with the Dreamline. I would see that as a deal breaker for me. I also read that the first few shots after a fill produce eratic velocity. That I...

Hi I am looking to get my first PCP after many years of using Springerss. I am looking at these two models. Would probably buy in 22 caliber and use primarily for backyard shooting ranges and some hunting. I originally came across the DRS at a local shop and loved it, but it occurred to me...

Hi, I have been a springer .177 guy for years, but am considering my first PCP...an FX DRS Classic. This is in a new power range from what I am used to with 14 ft/pound springers. I am unsure of what caliber to get: .177, .22, or .25 for this gun. I have used the Chairgun app and compared...

Thanks for the replies. I really like the look of that Maccari one. But it looks like they are out of them for now. I did try Kirk again. I’ll see if he gets back to me. Of course there’s the standard beeman style brake that uses a shim. But I’ve never been a huge fan of that one personally...

Hi Can anyone recommend a muzzle brake for a Beeman R7? I found a great Derlin brake for my R9 here on the forums a couple of years ago from a guy who goes by Spiral Groove but I have not been able to get a hold of him Also interested in filler screws for the rear sight Thanks Matt

Thanks for all the recommendations. Hard to say who is best. After posting this I did find some old posts on this topic and similar names come up. From this post it seems I tally: John Thomas in PA: 4x Ron Stearns: 3x Dave Slade: 2x Also one recommendation for Motorhead that I will...

Hi, Can anyone recommend a good tuner for a spring piston rifle----and that is also reasonably priced? I am thinking of having my Beeman R9 tuned. As per another thread I have it may have a broken mainspring so if I am going to get that fixed then I might as well have it tuned at the same...

Hi, I have a Beeman R10 and it has always cocked slightly roughly where you could hear and feel the spring compressing. Lately this seems to be getting worse or at least so it seems. There is a lot of "crunching / creaking" that can be heard and felt while cocking. It also seems that the...

As a follow-on to that note.....so with a springer the air is going from uncompressed to compressed and doing so over the period of time during which the piston moves forward (spread out over a few microseconds). With a PCP you have air going from a high pressure state to a maybe lower pressure...

Thanks for the replies. I will look for that book. I do find the topic interesting. So in terms of "gas expansion" from a PCP or CO2 Gun I am trying to figure that one out. My original assumption was that a pulse of air was the same whether from a springer or PCP; however, apparently that...

485 Beeman R9 in like new condition. I purchased this brand new about two months ago and put about 400 shots through it. It shoots great. Only selling because I found an older Beeman from the Huntington Beach location which I liked better for personal reasons. Comes with original box and...

True. I would be curious to better understand the physics behind this topic. I assume there are many variables, but essentially you have a pulse of air that starts at a fixed pressure. As the pellet moves down the bore, the space expands and therefore the pressure is decreasing the entire...

Interesting question to me because I would think that shortening a barrel would increase the velocity due to decreased friction. With a firearm the power is continuing to burn and gasses are expanding as the powder burns so a longer barrel gives more velocity. But with an airgun you have a...

Interesting comments above about the compression chamber. That makes sense to me and I always find design variables and their effect to be interesting. The R9 probably is a better fit for me. R1 continues to be tempting though for the reason above---that it's Beeman's flagship. I assume...

This is somewhat a follow up to my last post. I did find a nice older R9 and the guy who sold it to me mentioned that he also has an older R1 that he would be willing to sell me. I am not sure if it is a Huntington Beach or San Rafeal model. But what do you think about the R9 vs. the R1? I...

Well I actually got it delivered by UPS yesterday and was able to check it out today. I had to give some thought as to whether I liked the older one or newer one better. I like the stocks on the older ones, but I was still not as happy with the stock on this one as with some of the Beemans I...

Yeah very nice! I have only owned a handful of airguns, but a few of the ones you have. I had the R7 which was my first. It's a smooth and sweet shooting light gun, but a little lacking in power. I had an RX as well for a while. I don't remember much about it. I don't think I had it that...

Thanks for the replies. Much appreciated. I guess I am just a little confused as to why they are so difficult to find. I remember that Beeman used to sell all kinds of accessories like this. I would think they would be readily available or at least available someplace online. Has there been...

Wow, the stock above is beautiful. Looks like the stock on my R10 I had and sold many years ago. I regret that now, but I got out of shooting completely for many years. I am just starting back. The R9 is very similar to the R10 it seems, although the stock is not as nice. I always thought...

My experience is much like BZO100. My new R9 out of the box did the same. I could feel the spring crunch and seal rubbing when cocking and the firing behavior was harsh. But it shoots accurately. I was not impressed with the stock finish out of the box, the bluing or even the way that the...
