Beeman R1 Pellet Rifle- Barrel Break w/Beech Stained Stock

Product Review

The Beeman R1 is long known as "the workhorse" of the Beeman line, the R1 is universally recognized for bringing adult air gunning to the forefront with its high power and stunning looks. As an example of the workmanship of the rifle, examine the end cap of the receiver. Notice how the cap has been machined from a solid block of steel and carefully designed so that when it screws onto the back of the rifle it mates flush with the body tube. If this much care goes into one component, imagine how much thought and care has gone into the rest of the rifle! One of the first airguns to break the mystical 1000 fps mark, the R1 really delivers. We have chosen to rate the R1 conservatively at 950 fps in .177 caliber but to truly harness the power we recommend the .20 caliber. The larger caliber gives a shooter better energy and greater mass and frontal area than the .177 caliber. The large swept air volume of the R1 makes it particularly well suited to the heavier calibers
