Things I liked:nicely machined, simple design, does the job, high qulaity Things I would have changed:maybe attach a corded retainer in addition to the clip What others should know:this is meant for break barrels not the Benjamin Sheriden silver streak or RWS 48 side lever
as another reviwer stated -it is small

Things I liked:Good sturdy metal, spare screws and allen wrenches, simple instructions Things I would have changed:nothing What others should know:very well made for the money, easy to install, used these to replace the junk rings that came with my nephew's Daisy Powerline
Things I liked:A/O, clear sight picture, variable power magnification, rubberized adjusting knobs, very precise clicks when adjusting the windage & elevation. screw on lens covers Things I would have changed:increase the maginification range to a 3-9 this would make for a better scope for the small critters like chipmunks.

I wouldn't mind seeing this scoped priced ~$69.00 there are many other great scopes on the market at that price with more features What others should know:The screw on caps are great unlike the Leapers flip up shades they do not get in your way because you remove them completley in order to shoot, however they do screw on /off a bit roughly.
The only nit I have to pick with this scope is the knurled rubber power adjustment knob. The rubber starts to slip if you don't grip it very tightly
I wish I mounted it on one of my better springers
Things I liked:Good solid sturdy mount, serious screws, comes with decent Allen wrenches, fair price, clear & simple mounting instructions Things I would have changed:nothing What others should know:I mounted this on my mystery gun (a used Daisy Model #1000 in Gamo box) with a BSA 2-7 scope.

Read MoreThings I liked:Good solid sturdy mount, serious screws, comes with decent Allen wrenches, fair price, clear & simple mounting instructions Things I would have changed:nothing What others should know:I mounted this on my mystery gun (a used Daisy Model #1000 in Gamo box) with a BSA 2-7 scope. I experienced no difficlty at all with the set up and I am no mechanical wiz. From now on I will not buy combo packages like my RWS 34 Panther those mounts were useless junk and the scope not so good either.
Things I liked:The padding is good, it will probably protect a scoped rifle through most normal handling. The 600 denier material is strong and the zippers are large enough to make opening the case very easy. Another good feature is the amount of zippered pockets that are found on this case. The best feature is the shoulder strap, which gives

The 600 denier material is strong and the zippers are large enough to make opening the case very easy. Another good feature is the amount of zippered pockets that are found on this case. The best feature is the shoulder strap, which gives you another way of carrrying the case (you can't find shoulder straps on hard plastic cases - you must carry them by the handle only) Things I would have changed:Offer the case in other colors. What others should know:Even though this is a Plano product, it is made in China, not the USA.
I think it is good value and have ordered a secon one.
Things I liked:Clear optics, easy to adjust, nice range on the magnification levels Things I would have changed:This is my 2nd Leapers scope, and the lens covers do not stay on on either model. Screw on lens covers (like BSA) or elastic covers would be more suitable. When you adjust the objective the front lens cover gets in the

Not a big deal but a bit annoying What others should know:The scope does what it promises for a reasonable price
Things I liked:The cloth does seem to leave a smooth finish on my air rife.
You definitely will notice that the next time you pick up you gun after cleaning it Things I would have changed:I do not like the plastic tube the cloth comes in. The round shape lets it roll off my garage shelf and its lack of color makes it hard to find

The round shape lets it roll off my garage shelf and its lack of color makes it hard to find once it rolls away. Also it is a wee bit of a nuisance to roll the cloth up and store it back in the tube. . What others should know:The cloth could stand a bit more silicone my cloth was more on the dry side
Things I liked:It holds a decent amount of pellets, the foam seems durable Things I would have changed:I would change the velcro on the straps to quick release buckles like the ones found on fanny packs What others should know:This holder will not work with JSB predators the foam is not deep enough

Things I liked:Quality. This air rifle is done right. There is not a flaw on the stock or metal work. When you break open the barrel with a slap you can feel how tight the tolerances are. The gun is a really a perfect size. So many are rifles with power are just getting too long for my taste. I own 3 RWS rifles and they all have 1 shared

When you break open the barrel with a slap you can feel how tight the tolerances are. The gun is a really a perfect size. So many are rifles with power are just getting too long for my taste. I own 3 RWS rifles and they all have 1 shared characteristic ; they are heavy. The weight on this is solid but not burdensome. Most impressive thing about the R9 is its accuracy. I did not make any adjustments to the mounted scope and I was hitting rodents on my 3rd shot (out of the box). This gun is my go to gun whenever accuracy is a must. Hitting chipmunks at ~15 yards is not a difficult task.
Overall the package is a good blend of power, design, and quality.
My R9 is in the .20 cal and that suffices for squirrels as well.
On a minor note, I really liked getting a "free" tin of Silver Bear pellets as well as a Beeman sticker. I thought that was a nice touch.
As far as the scope goes, I would not consider it overly bright, but it gets the lead on target. No complaints.
How could I leave a review without mentioning the trigger? Simply put. Amazing . It is so light you will need to get used to it.
Things I would have changed:The scope mounts leave no clearance to put on the provided scope covers. Perhaps higher mounts wouild solve this.
I don't like that, the safety is not resettable, but that is not a major deal.
What others should know:In the manual there is a warning about closing the barrel too hard, so pay attention to that and try to master that action.
Beeman Silver Sting and Benjamin Cylindrical pellets are both too loose in the breech. This gun really is at its best with JSB Diablos and Beeman Silver Arrows.
This gun is my favorite one. Beeman makes the best
If you buy you will love it.

Things I liked:The length on the Benjamin makes for easy handling. The scope picture is very clear and sharp. This gun is very accurate. I took a chipmunk at 10 yards my second day with it. I also put down a grey squirrel the third day from 20+ yards. It is nice to still be able to purchase an American mmade product. Great job on the mounting

Great job on the mounting by Pyramyd.
Things I would have changed: This gun is a classic. I had a Blue Streak over 20 years ago and I bought this one as a replacement. I don't remember the trigger ever being so stiff. I am hoping that will it will change when it breaks in. What others should know:This is a multi pump; because of the scope and mounts if you have large hands you may have to get inventive with your pumping technique. It really is not an issue for me. You can get a more powerful air gun for less money if velocity is more important to you.
Things I liked:These pellets are very effective!
I have not had to throw away any bad ones They work great! When you get down to it there are really only a couple of choices in pellet shape; pointed round nose, hollowpoint, or wadcutter. These pellets are really unique. Things I would have changed:Include more pellets in the

I have not had to throw away any bad ones They work great! When you get down to it there are really only a couple of choices in pellet shape; pointed round nose, hollowpoint, or wadcutter. These pellets are really unique. Things I would have changed:Include more pellets in the container- offer different size containers What others should know:I own 6 airguns and these are my go to pellets when I need to eliminate squirrels from my bird feeder (or back yard). I have had amazing results with these pellets especially in my cheapie crosman Quest. Most of the time all it takes is one shot, occasionally a finishing shot is required.
When you compare the prices on the Predators to the Gamo Raptors the choice is an easy one to make, plus you don't have the supersonic crack
I have since purchased these pellets in .22 also
