| If good things come in small packages, then the R7 is a really good thing! Compact in size but not in performance, the Beeman R7 is often called the "little R1." It's that good. Other than size, there are very few differences between the R1 powerhouse and the R7. Through the double-jointed cocking lever, the R7 delivers a reduced cocking effort (almost half the R1). That makes this the perfect gun for smaller shooters, women or anyone who wants an easy-cocking spring-piston gun. Includes 1" scope rings, medium profile, vertical scope stop in one ring, 2 screws per base & 4 screws per ring cap. The R7 is 5" shorter than the R1 and over 2.5 lbs. lighter. Don't worry about marring the finish, because the satin finish on the stained beech stock resists minor scratches. The gun has no sights so you must mount a scope on the 11mm dovetail grooves in the receiver. The checkered pistol grip gives you a solid hold, while the rubber buttpad adds even more control. Like the R1, this gun has the famous Rekord trigger, giving you a predictable, crisp, adjustable let-off. The R7 is a German-made engineering marvel that will deliver decades of shooting pleasure. Don't forget to pick up a variety of recommended pellets, which are listed in the AMMO link.

Beeman R7 Air Rifle, No Sights by Beemanreviews summary
Things I would have changed:I couldn't imagine anything that would make the little R7 a better gun, but I heard so many good things about Paul Watts (www.springgunning.com), that I just had to see what he recommended. If there's a better spring airgunsmith out there, I haven't been able to find him/her. If you love spring guns, & you haven't been to his website, you are among the under-privileged. I told Paul I had many airguns, & I was a shooter, not a collector. I asked him to do what he thought best to make the R7 a handy gun that I could shoot every day. He put his tune on it, including the trigger. He installed a new spring & seal with his special lubrication process. He put a shroud on the barrel. And he found a special piece of American walnut which he used to carve out a "classic" stock with impeccable hand cut checkering finished in a satin polyurethane for protection.. I asked him to sign it, which he did on the bottom of the pistol grip. A friend of his stopped by his shop & told him if I ever wanted to sell the little R7, to please let him know. While Paul was working his magic, I ordered a Leupold 3 X 9 Adjestable Objective scope that looked like it would be just right for the little beauty. Needless to say, it now shoots one-hole groups, and with that bright & sharp little scope mounted on it, I can pick the wings off a fly at 20 paces. I've lost track of the many thousands of pellets I've run through it over the years. with no maintenance required I shoot it almost every day What others should know:The R7 is truly a gun for everyone. It's small enough, handy enough and easy enough to cock for anyone old enough to be responsible with such a precision instrument, and it's fun enough for all ages beyond. Unlike many more powerful spring guns, the R7 is not very "hold sensitive", but it's always a good idea to hold any gun consistently the same way. It's as reliable as an anvil, yet as precise as a Swiss watch. Words can't describe the quality "feel" of this little masterpiece - it just has to be felt. I've trained men, women, boys and girls to shoot with this lovely little gun, and even though I have dozens of guns, it's the one they always reach for when it's time to do some fun shooting. It is certainly not the cheapest spring gun out there, but it is certainly one of the best in its category. It is a terrific example of the finest production quality in real wood & real steel spring air guns. It has the precision & accuracy for a lifetime of teaching the fine art of marksmanship. Mine continues to shoot better than I can. Most folks who own one say it would be the last air gun they would sell. One thing's for sure - you almost never see a used one for sale. If you can afford it, it's worth it. If you can't afford it, it's worth saving up for it.. You definitely get what you pay for with the R7. It's an heirloom quality treasure that will outlast you, no matter how young you are. Your heirs will thank you for buying it long after you're gone. Comments
Great write-up. How much accuracy was gained after the tune?
Things I would have changed:It has a bit of droop, and the method used to lock the trigger adjustment screw in place can result in damage to the adjustment screw if you try to force it. The tab that retains the screw needs to be unbent before it can be adjusted. What others should know:The one piece six screw compensating mount sold by PA put the pre-centered Bushnell that I used to within just a couple inches of zero at 25 yds. Very little adjustment required. M.V. ran in the mid 600's with 7.3 gr pellets and low 600's with mid 8 gr pellets. E.S. and S.D were very tight with AA Falcon, JSB RS, and the AA 4.52mm pellets. M.E. was best by a small margin with the 7.3 gr pellets. If you want a small, light, nice lower powered shooter for plinking and smaller pest control and you don't mind spending the money, you should love this rifle.
Things I would have changed:A bit more power would be nice, but I can't gripe one iota (the reduced power is exactly why it's a forgiving shooter). A slightly longer barrel and/or forearm would also move the center of gravity slightly forward, balancing the weapon better. Again, I realize I'm nitpicking, but you asked. What others should know:Buy now before the cheap potmetal-and-plastic toys that masquerade as adult airguns overwhelm the market.
