Actually, Beeman was the importer, but a German company called Weihrauch (pronounced "viro") makes the rifles.. They are still being made and have a great warranty...click here and scroll down to the 5th rifle....The Weihrauch version of the R9 is the HW95 and is identical. Its made in .22 and will shoot hard at 755 fps. Airguns of Arizona is great to deal with...
I also have a Benji pumper and I grew up with that rifle..if there was ever a fire in my house (God forbid..) and I had time to grab one air gun, it would be the Benji...Its an old friend...I will never sell it. I will confess though that the R9 easily outperforms it. Sounds like you already have a Benji, so.......
