Very MUCH worth having... easily worth $500+...

Look for the airgun forum, maybe on Beeman's site?

Condition is everything. Great guns, but the R9 fills that role now, so market is mostly collectors, I think $375-$450 is more likely.

I've had one since the mid 80s in .20 cal. Still shoots great and is the prime rifle for various things when quiet is needed around the farm. I'd never let mine go for less than $500. Newer stuff doesn't have the quality of the R10.

Just FYI, I agree with SpenceG. A mint condition R10 sold on Ebay for $375 and new R9's can be had from Pyramyd Air for $399.
Probably less when a sale happens.

For the R10, $375-$450 seems realistic. Guys will spend a few more Hundo's and now your in PCP territory, and once there you probably wont look back at spring guns. At least that was my experience..

That said, if you are only gonna have one air rifle, that R10 would be a great choice. Parts are still widely available for them also..

as said 350-450 depending on condition. Seen a few sell for 500.00 but only the exceptional ones.


Making black powder smoke is a great thing..
