Information Beeman R1 Supermagnum Air Rifle, No Sights | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Right-hand and left-hand stocks are available! The Beeman R1 is a powerhouse among spring-piston air rifles. Whether you plink, pop paper targets or hunt critters, the R1 fills the bill. The Rekord trigger, universally accepted as one of the finest on the market, is fully adjustable and delivers ultimate control. The breakbarrel mechanism is smooth and reliable, and the safety engages automatically when the gun is cocked. Includes 1" scope rings, medium profile, vertical scope stop in one ring, 2 screws per base & 4 screws per ring cap. The R1's beech stock sports a checkered grip and forearm. All the steel has been carefully and expertly machined to make sure your rifle functions flawlessly. This gun will become an heirloom. Conservatively rated at 950 fps in .177 cal., that's just right for most shooting disciplines. If you plan to hunt with the R1, the .20 or .22 cal. would be a better choice. The extra power in the larger calibers was not an afterthought when the gun was designed, so you'll be able to harness all the energy you need from bigger and heavier pellets. The deep 11mm dovetail grooves ensure that your mount and scope remain intact through years of use. Don't forget to pick up a variety of recommended pellets, which are listed under the AMMO link. Select appropriate accessories, including targets and a hunting scope, by clicking on the ACCESSORIES link. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Reviews summary Beeman R1 Supermagnum Air Rifle, No Sights
Things I liked:I bought my R1 in 1987. I was managing a facility that had hundreds of nesting pigeons. The pigeon removal contractors wanted ~$500 and the R1 was ~$300, so I got the R1 and cleared out the roosting birds. Since then it has kept the rabbits from over-running the garden, reduced the squirrel population and once, in a shot I will always remember, killed a woodchuck with a single headshot at almost 75 yards. (an anomaly, most woodchucks seemed to shrug off the pellet)
In all that time accuracy has been great. I keep waiting for seals to dry up or something, but it just keeps ticking. One of my favorite 'firearms' of any type. What others should know:as others have said, this is a grown-up adult airgun, with significant cocking force, and it's heavy, even more so with scope. But when you shoot from a rest the weight becomes a positive. I just sighted in a new scope last weekend and zeroed it at 25 yards. At 50 yards it drops about 3" Comments
I just received my Beeman R1 I bought used. It is so beautiful, I am afraid to take it outside. But I did and it is so smooth and easy to use. This belongs in a glass case on a wall. What perfection in design, manufacture and performance. On a recent Air Gun Forum a discussion was about comparing a RWS 48 to a Beeman R1. One said.." The Beeman R1 is twice the price, and three times the gun" I had a RWS 48. The remark is spot on. Buy an R1. It will hold its value, a sign of its true worth.

Tom's latest Blog on this all time classic calls it the '57 Chevy of Air Guns. Time marches on, and now the standard flag carrier of Air Rifles is the very desireable Air Arms TX200 MkII. Still, I have a used Beeman R1 on it way to me. Always wanted one. And this classic will hold its value into the future. The Rekord trigger alone is a reason to own a Beeman R1 SuperMagnum..

Things I would have changed:I would change nothing about the R1. The fact that it is so easy to tune makes it one of the most adaptable air rifles on the market. It can go from 13 foot-pounds to 22 foot-pounds in just a few hours of careful work. What others should know:This is a large air rifle that is harder to cock than most adults will prefer. The effort is over 40 pounds when new and about 36-38 pounds after 1,000 shots. It can be tuned down to cock with less force, but will also shoot with less energy. Due to the size and power potential of the rifle, I recommend getting it in .22 caliber. Comments
I had an R-1 in the 80's and it exceeded the 100yd accuracy with a Redfield scope attached. First it's recoil destroyed Tasco, and every other cheap scope I put on it.
We had a million starlings and jays that got the cherry tree out put, but eventually the tree got to eat all the birds.
i am thinking of buying one of these but $599 is alot of money and would like to know the accuracy at 50-100 yards before such a large investment what is the accuracy with Beeman Kodiak match 21.1 grain pellets
Weight, size, quality, everything Tom points out is spot on ! I had an R1 ( .177) that at my age was just too much to handle. Cocking was just at my limit. Quality was superb, It was so smooth, I thought it was broken ! Cocking was smooth, firing was smooth.Ii found out it was chrony at 800 with RWS SuperDomes, my go to pellets.

Things I would have changed:this is a very solid rifle but alittle heavy my HW95 has spoiled me on that.
What others should know:This is a great air rifle alittle expensive but well worth it for the quality you get, this is a gun for a life time smooth cocking very accurate and well made. These HW/Beeman airguns are the top of the mountian in my book I have several of them and ya can't beat 'em
