Unless I'm out of town I shoot the P1 or the R1 Beeman mostly. The PCPs I own have DonnyFL suppressors on them and they are quiet. But they have a lot of power for an in town gun. Local authority has declared airguns to be firearms and as such we can't shoot them in town. But there is federal legislation that says you can not regulate an airgun calling it a firearm. I'm just waiting to see if I ever have to call my lawyer and sue the city. They like to make regulations on everything. But they don't follow them unless they want to. Just like a typical small town. They think the world turns on them and they are of the utmost importance. I think they are just impotent. Be Well, Rustyzipper.

I have an R7 and an R9 and shoot one of them most days. I can shoot 10 meters in my basement which gives me some good offhand practice. It's an easy way to maintain skills without having to go to the range. The R7 is really fun to shoot!

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!

Lost count of how many rabbits I’ve shot with my R7.

What pellets do you use on the rabbits? How far and headshots?
R7 is a Gem.......easy to cock, very accurate, smooth firing cycle, great trigger, quiet.......
