So I'm sitting next to another competitor at a recent field target match, shooting the breeze afterwards and the subject of HW55's comes up. He casually mentions he has a Beeman marked Tyrolean he wants to sell because he is left handed and it doesn't work for him. The buyer he had in mind is getting heavily into field target and wasn't interested in a 10m gun. I couldn't shout "I'll take it" quickly enough. The owner warned me the gun was ugly and referred to it as Ugly Betty and a beater. I don't think so!!! Went to see it today and home it came with me. The metal is gorgeous (flecks in the pic is dust). The wood has a few spots that could use a little TLC but nothing that can't be done easily. It has the rare barrel sleeve and Beeman filler screws in the barrel block rear sight screw holes.

THANK YOU Mark my friend! Ugly Betty and I will attend many balls together.

Kindest Regards,

Reactions: Calmark and Deerstalker
MDriskill, the seller acknowledged later he was pulling my leg about condition because he wanted to get a reaction out of me when I saw the gun, and a reaction he got! Seller is a gentleman and wanted to keep the gun in the hands of a local shooter who appreciates these old classics so the seller could continue to share in the new owner's enjoyment. WIN-WIN for both of us.
