Things I liked:The Chinese Beemans are a great value (quality vs cost), but not quite up to the German made products. This one (.22 cal) is no exception. I have an older Beeman 250 which was German made and originally cost about $200. The finish was flawlwss on the metal and the trigger was target grade. On this one the finish isn't quite

I have an older Beeman 250 which was German made and originally cost about $200. The finish was flawlwss on the metal and the trigger was target grade. On this one the finish isn't quite as good, but still very nice and the trigger is really bad. Two stage with second stage being long, creepy, heavy, unpredictable and inconsistent. Even with the terrible trigger, this gun is an excellent purchase for the $200 price. I am shooting .25" groups at 10 yds with no problem. Overall it really is an excellent .22 air rifle for the $200 price. Things I would have changed:The trigger and the safety. The trigger as mentioned above is abysmal. The safety is inconvenient to activate and inactivate, especially in a hurry. However with the heavy long creepy trigger, accidental discharge is unlikely. What others should know:Beeman products are getting impossible to find and I find no hope for deliveries from the factory in the near future. This was about the only .22 Beeman rifle of it's type in this price range I could find in stock from any retailer nationwide. Pyramid had the best price and service of all.
I called Beeman and asked them about the nationwide shortage of Beeman products and long backorder times. They denied it, so I asked them if I could buy directly from them as I couldn't find any retailers that didn't have major long standing shortages and were receiving regular shipments from Beeman. They said yes, but when I asked about specific models, they had none (about 6 different .22 rifles). I asked when they would get more of any of these and they said they had no eta on anything. So I asked "Then are the shortages real?" He was silent. They were very deceptive at every step. Be aware that you may never see more Beeman products at least in the foreseeable future...
