Beeman RS2 Dual-Caliber Air Rifle Combo

Durable. Accurate. Powerful in .22. 3500 shots mostly chps and ruger 1.1 gram (16.6gr) . Still throws 25.39 Rabbit mags effectively...though you notice weaker power..more accurate original scope 4x32.

I used regular loctite on the .22 barrel after 400 shots .177 . Welded barrel to block. Super accurate today. Warn more on the mechanics of secure barrel tightening . Beginners just want to shoot perfect right away. Reasonable. But unrealstic.

Bought in 2012 Big 5 Sporting Goods. Calif. Never regreted.My piston seal should be shredded...I did wrong lube and every error. Still great accuracy. Consistent. Tame cycle.Rabbits at 40 and under..done.

Absolutely beautiful stock & finish. It's gorgeous.

BARREL DROOP!! The barrel is horribly drooped (canted) and I've looked into ways of fixing it and it doesn't seem to be possible. To make matters worse, the scope that it comes with is mounted upon the piston and NOT the barrel, which makes it useless because of the barrel droop (you are aiming down the piston and not the barrel... The barrel points one way, the piston another). If you don't know what barrel droop is on a break-barrel air rifle, search it, because you need to know. I wish they would check & fix at the factory!

Just watch out for Barrel Droop on this one.

Most everything !

Materials used and machine work

This rifle was good for 1280 shots. Suddenly, the rifle would not make air. Disassembly showed a broken piston head. Further internal examination indicated that this rifle is typical reverse engineered Chinese manufactured. It would have been excellent if they used better quality parts and machining.

It's a nice heavy weapon of choice, shoots great but haven't had much time to use the gun as I would like too. Thanks

Right out of the box I liked the quality of the stock and the way that it was packaged in the carry case. It was very easy to site in. Out of the box it was off by about 3 inches at 35 yards. Once sited in, the .177 was consistently hitting within the one inch center of the target at 35 yards. The .22 was not far off and needed very little adjustment to achieve the same results.

I would pay a little more for a better quality scope and better sites on the rifle. Sites are plastic and scope is functional but cheesy in construction.

In siting in the rifle I used Polymag Predator 8 gr pellets. After siting the rifle in, I changed ammo to .177 H&N Sport Sniper Magnum pellets 15gr. These were very accurate and hit very hard. At 35 yards I was surprised that there was not a significant drop. I then tried H&N Rabbit Magnum pellets 16gr. Just as good as the Snipers. Last I changed barrels to .22, re-adjusted my scope and shot Exact Jumbo Diablo 16gr pellets through the rifle. I have to say that in reading other reviews where someone had reported scope issues and others where the machining was way off impacting the angle of the shot, I was worried. I did not experience any of these issues. I guess the gun that I received that was made in China was one of the good ones. I am very happy with this gun, the quality and the way that it shoots.

The look and feel of the rifle is nice. It is fairly easy to cock, but a ten yr old kid would need help. But that's not a bad thing. Its way too powerful for a child anyway. Changing the barrels is a easy swap, just need the provided Allen wrench. The stock of the gun is a nice stained piece of wood. The cheek wield is fair. Accuracy is moderate, has a nice pop hitting steel targets with .22 cal bullets. The safety is automatically set to safe every time you break the barrel down to full cock. The plastic sights have day glow neon looking dots, that are easy to see. The scope was easy to install. For the money i was satisfied. I wasn't expecting a match grade target rifle. I just wanted a hard hitting pellet rifle. It will pass through rabbit size game at 40 yrds no problem.

Throw away the scope, it's junk. The plastic sights are almost junk. The stock is thick and bulky in places that make it heavy and off balance. The barrel screw will come loose. I used lock Tite and solved that problem. It is loud, doesn't break the sound barrier, but has a noticeable report. The spring twang can be felt in your hands and recoil is low but noticed. I would definitely have pictured it having better scope/sight. The trigger creep and feel sucks. It's around 8lbs pull...that's a guess but I shoot alot and bet I'm within a pound.

This rifle will group well out to 40yards or so.. Mine likes heavy pellets, premier shoot the best of any I have tried so far. Diesels untill around 400 shots and calms down and groups tighter. It it start out grouping well then starts having flyers. The barrel lock screw has came loose and your barrel Is moving around Everytime you re-cock it. Had the same problem. Thread lock will fix that. Good shooting

easy to cock and powerful. Although this air gun is made in china, it is a decent entry-level breakbarrel and is pretty accurate for a $150 rifle. Great for small to medium game hunting or just shooting cans. This rifle has great value for its price.

make the rear sight all metal, and put a better spring in it. Mine is starting to get spring twang, and I haven't had it for all that long. The bar joint has a bit of play to it also(at least mine does). Otherwise, I can't think of anything else to change.

This rifle is pretty loud in .177 cal, especially if you are using low-weight hypervelocity pellets, like gamo raptors or PBA platinums, so if you are shooting in an urban area, heavier pellets are better to keep cops from knocking.

The stock is very comfortable. Moderately accurate with easy to find ammo. Would not hunt any further than 35 yards with this rifle.

The safety needs to be a little more positive. Does have a little bit of travel when shooting at an upward angle at game.

Test your ammo. This rifle does not perform well with run of the mill ammo. Buy quality and not by the quantity.

Dual caliber is nice, the scope was OK, but I'm not big on scopes. The scope is 4-by-32, with nice crosshairs, but if you're wanting to shoot long range, I'd go with something more powerful like a 9-by-40.

Make the scope a little more powerful, and change the way you switch barrels, for heaven's sake! The barrel came loose every 3 shots, so I had to carry an Allen wrench any where I was shooting. Also, I could not sight it in. It would shoot a group of 2 or so, and then shoot 4 inches off or something like that.

Don't waste your money, for this price you can get something longer lasting, and better quality. Not that the gun itself is poor quality, it is very solid, it is that barrel changing mechanism is terrible. Go with a one caliber gun in the caliber that fits your needs.

I like open sights.I have not used the scope yet and don't think I ever will. Accuracy is awesome in both cal.177 and 22 .. Barrels are simple and easy to switch. This is a far supearrear air rifle than the one I had as a kid. Very pleased.

I would change the plastic sights to steel. Make your customer buy after market plastic sights if thay want them , not the other way around.

The gun I received is very accurate and fun to shoot . I'm very pleased with it . But I constantly have to be aware of how I handle the rifle for fear of breaking the plastic sights.
