My tuned R9 LE .177 is my favorite. It has gone with me on paid varmint hunts in aircraft hangers, ‘home supply outlet stores’, and inside grocery stores at night. However.... TWO used R7 (177) rifles have been acquired over the last few years, just happened up on them locally probably because there’s a Beeman dealer in Atlanta. They are nice to have around. They are in stock form, and are early models. One has the thinner barrel contour of earlier R7s, the other the later heavier barrel. Both have firearms that extend over the barrel block, and the nice palm swell in the grip. I wish I had time to tune them. All I’ve done is shoot and admire them. Grandkids will probably wind up with them.
PS- keep your watchful eyes open for a Beeman R8, they are REALLY NICE but a bit harder to find!
