Beeman R9 Elite Reviews

The build. the quality!

To be able to secure n purchase another barrel in the other caliber,,,,( .177 or .22 ). A switcherooo !

It;s a sproinger !

Beautiful German craftsmanship!!! A stunning rifle that feels as solid and well built as it looks.

Double check your scope mount. Mine came with the "free" 20 for 20, which is cool, but the scope was waaaay unlevel and needed immediate re-torquing. Could have been a shipping issue and by no means a deal breaker (it was free) but you should double check after receipt.

Quality rifle

Scope is junk

Fit and finish are nice but not as nice as several small caliber rifles I own in the same price range. . Scope is very nice. 20 for $20.00 is a great deal. Gun is very very accurate. First three shots were high due to the difference in Pyramids range distance and my own. After first three shots it was easy to dial into BULLSEYE after Bullseye. I love the shape of the stock very comfortable. Gun is quieter than expected. Cocking is easy and smooth with a nice solid lock up. I would buy again. Again very very accurate and that’s what matters most. Pyramid Air is great to do business with I appreciate there experience and knowledge in the industry. Thank you Pyramid Air.

NOTHING

This pellet recommendation for PA shoots great. Link below.

Accurate. Beautiful

Nothing

Fit and finish is excellent. Excellent trigger. Cheap to shoot. Nice scope for the price.It was cheaper with the scope than without. Ordered on Monday and received on Thursday. Pretty accurate. Bought for shooting rats. Does the job. Had a problem with the first scope and they sent me a new one. Definitely recommend PA.

The scope was shimmed and it made a dent in the tube. I ended up putting a droop compensating mount on it to center the adjustments. and a better scope I'll put the scope on another gun.

It takes time to learn how to shoot a springer and to find out what pellet it likes. As others said, it liked H&N Ftt 5.54 best. Tried ftt 5.53, 5.55, Hades, predator, Jumbo exact, crossman hp, baracuda 15 and 18. May try predator GTO next. Most pellets fit loose.

Seems very well made. The blueing is good and wood is great. There is zero plastic. Gun is all metal and wood.

After owning a R7 I expected greater accuracy. The R9 will take squirrels all day but its far from what I got from the R7. The safety cant be placed on after its turned off.

I bought this rifle to play in my small back yard. It might a little much. It sends a .22 pellet though a 3/4 piece a plywood at 25yards. The gun is beautiful and feels like a heirloom piece. The scope thats included does not hold zero and is not that great.

The scope, the finish, the trigger

The weight, its heavy

Weight and feel of a full size center fire rifle. Very accurate with the right pellet. Comes ready to shoot, right out of the box. However, check the scope mounts. Mine worked loose after 100 rounds or so. I re-tightened them and re-zeroed the scope and I can now put three shots on a dime at 27 yrds. Great gun to practice and keep my shooting skills up.

Can't think of a thing.

Good bang for the buck. I thought about getting a PCP rifle, but a $1500 - $2000 financial outlay to get a PCP rifle, scope, compressor and all the other necessities to get started in a pellet gun just didn't seem practical. This one serves my purpose.

Almost everything. It's a beautiful rifle. As soon as I picked it up, I knew it was a quality rifle. The scope that it came with is great. It was on paper right out of the box. I only needed a slight adjustment. It came with a 20 for 20 test. I have many other air rifles, and I have changed out the scopes that they came with the first thing. Except for this one and a Beeman R7. Both have the Rekord trigger. The R9 trigger pull was 1 lb 3 oz. No need for me to adjust it.

My only dislike is with the safety. Once the gun is cocked, and the safety switched off, it cannot be switched back on. The rifle must be fired to make it safe.

I have not tried the open sights. They look really good. The front sight is hooded and comes with 5 or 6 inserts for the front post. I held off on buying either of the Beemans (R7 & R9) because they are a bit more in price than the Gamo Swarm Magnum Gen 2, the Ruger Impact Max Elite, and the Umarex Synergis that I have. My mistake! I would not own any of those other rifles if I had bought the Beemans first. The Beemans are hands down, far superior. Other than the rear sight there's no plastic. As I said, my only regret is not buying it sooner.

Very accurate at close range, will not get a good group at a distance, which is what I purchased it for. Great looking gun

Very accurate . This was my first air rifle purchased and right out of the box I was nailing targets at 25 yards. Started air gunning to cut back on ammunition because of prices and availability. This is a great alternative to going to the range .fun and keeps skills sharp

one of the most beautiful rifles that money can buy. Fit and finish is awesome. ACCURATE OUT OF THE BOX.

nothing

bUY ONE

Once you've bought the best the Beeman R9 it's hard to mess with the rest Absolutely a dream gun Shoots through the same hole Accuracy absolute beautiful finish!!!

Nada

I own several brake barrels and this is absolutely my favorite For an everyday shooter

Scope is better than I expected it to be. Accuracy is spot on out of the box, and lived up to the Beeman reputation. Cocking isn't bad. Overall a beautiful, powerful rifle.

Seemed a bit heavy, but that is just me. Also agree with others comments about not being able to put back on the safety after it had been switched off.

Pyramyd Air did a great job on service and support. Also help in recommendations. Will definitely buy from them again.

It's beautifully made and finished

The scope rings are very tall. I can't shoot accurately without my cheek down on the stock. I took off the scope and stock rear sight and added a Williams aperture sight and I like the setup!

Let me start by saying this is my first real air rifle. I read a lot of reviews and settled on this one (.22cal). The trigger is what makes this air rifle great. Right out of the box I found it crisp, smooth, and repeatable. The build quality is superior to the $100-$200 ones at the discount stores. If you want an air rifle that will last and be tack driver accurate without completely breaking the bank, this is one I would highly consider. I am sure the higher priced PCPs will perform better but this one hits the sweet spot between low price/low quality and the hard to justify price/high quality. Within an hour of dialing in/getting used to it, I was shooting 5 shot dime size groups at 25yds and just over quarter size at 50 yds. Again, I think the trigger makes all the difference here. I purchased the 14.3gr JSB Diablos with the gun and it seems to like them. I followed up with a purchase of 4 other weights from other mfgs to see if I can further improve my groups. Pests beware!

It would be nice to be able to put the gun back on safety after taking it off. The manual does not say it but I have read other places that it can be reset by cocking it again. Not sure if this is ok to do so it would be good if the manual would specify whether or not this is acceptable. Perhaps other more knowledgeable folks can provide some insight? I would not let this one small thing deter you from buying this gun. What is the worst thing you have to do? Shoot the pellet into a safe backstop at a few pennies a pellet? I see other comments about the gun not having options or provisions for a sling for hunting. I could see where that would be nice to have but personally I can deal with it when I know this gun is going to be deadly accurate.

This is a high quality, modestly priced gun. If you are only looking to buy one air rifle or get your first one to see if you would like to get into air rifles, I do not think you can go wrong here and you will be happy with your purchase for many years. It is easy to get caught up in the hype of more expensive must be better. There is a thing called diminishing returns. I believe this one is at the optimum point between quality and affordability!!

Everything this is a great buy shoots almost perfect right out of the box I LOVE IT

Great buy and arrived ready to shoot no complications

This is a great air rifle! Very accurate and easy to use. The rife was easy to order. The order was processed sooner than i expected and the rifle was flawlessly delivered.

Beautiful quality, everything has already been said about the trigger, sighted in perfectly and definitely an upgrade from my old Crosman/Mendoza RM377!

Not sure if I would prefer it come without sights and a muzzle brake instead. Shooting without the front sight installed definitely decreases the accuracy. I read a comment somewhere regarding it, found it a little hard to believe, but absolutely verified it.
