Always wanted a .20 cal. Worked out trade with Dan, a member of forum. Gun completely rebuild and tuned. Mounted scope and zeroed @ 35 yds. Punished spinners out to 70 yds. This one is a shooter. 
Beeman r9 .20 in the house.

Please allow me to show you 2 of my faves based on their classic styling.
I know, they're PCPs and yours is a springer. But it's the beautiful traditional-style stocks that I love about all 3 rifles.

Have one myself, also bought from a fellow member although mine is still factory stock and from when they were making them with no open sights and a factory muzzle break.
Sweet shooter and accurate with everything made in .20 caliber. One of the better purchases I've ever made and sounds like yours was too, Enjoy!!

Very nice. also have an R9 in .20 , love that cal. and the R9 is a great platform for it....a keeper for sure. Glad you showed what you're shooting.

The R-9 rifles feel good on every level, I like the sights off with the hand break and that deluxe stock.
Maybe Dan has a rear sight cover he can sell you, they add a nice touch on the gun when the sight is off.
The Dot stickers you use seam like the size of a quarter, with my eyes I have to use the black sticky dots but I use the smaller of the sets, I find the smaller dot is a plus for me to focus in on for my better groups. I've tried the red dots and can not use them,
A nice addition to own, you can buy custom walnut stocks from the UK if that ever comes to mind ,I have one they are very nice

The 20 is such an excellent mid powered Springer caliber, Perfect combined with the R9.

Awesome. I'm happy for you. Last year I bought a used R9 in 20 caliber too. I'm really liking it. I think it's a great caliber for that gun.
Enjoy it. Looks like a winner

Nice piece, Tommy. I have the same rifle, also in .20. Lent it to a novice-shooter buddy of mine, and got it back with a healthy ding on the grip/toe, and a split stock. Grrrr. Fixed it with JB Weld and a threaded rod, so its good to go, but why couldn't I have lent him my Daisy 880? Sheeez.

Spent the morning shooting spinners 35, 45, 55 yds. 4in 1 target @70 yds. The closest in accuracy you can get without going pcp. I may sleep with this one a few nites.

Glad you are having fun with it. Not meant to boast but I have over two dozen self tuned springers in the vault, and the one I sent to you I knew to be very accurate, but it isn’t my most accurate. They are a blast to work on and get dialed in. The details really matter.
