I bought an old Beeman Hw77 and it came with a BR 66R scope. I don't understand how to focus it and lock in the adjustment. It seems a stupid design. I go to adjust the focus and the magnification changes. Or vice versa. Is it designed to rotate the entire occular to change the magnification? I hate this thing
Blue Ribbon 66R questions
- Thread starter Mycapt65
- Start date
They are collectable; someone will buy one for more than it is worth just to have it mounted on their old Beeman air rifle they never shoot. I have a scope that does the same thing. It is not supposed to,so I hold the ocular lens when turning the power wheel.I do not think it is supposed to.You set the ocular lens to your eye and reticle's best focus,then lock it.I can not give you a definitive answer.

Thank you. It's weird set up. I've never seen anything like this. Maybe I will sell it. I've taken a shine lately to the low power Sightron S1s. I'm getting away from AO scopes anyway.
Be well

Those Beeman Model 66R were excellent scopes in the day. Made by Hakko Japan. I have hand full of Blue ribbon scopes, I dug out my Model 66R 2-7x32 - took pictures of The owners manual for you, hopefully will help you.

Don't put the rimfire model on a spring gun. I just had the reticle spin in 30 shots on a 14.4fpe HW77 Mk1. I called them before buying it. They told me all their scopes would hold up.The Sightrons are a favorite of mine
