    Beeman airguns

    So I went to the back of the safe which has not been visited in a long time. And got out some of the older airguns. Not really a collection, but I have kept a number of Beeman guns from their good days. Here are a few.

    A couple HW55MM's, R1, R7, and a R8. And a fwb300s mini on the bottom. The scopes are all Beeman Blue Ribbons. Those things were expensive even back then.


    Oh and btw if anyone wants to sell a hw55, hit me up. Could always have more hw55s.

        yes, especially the earlier ones. The R7 is the epitome of a smooth shooter. I was lucky enough to saved up for one and enjoyed it through my junior high and high school years.

          Very nice. Beeman had some very nice limited guns and that is one of them. Now I'm going to have to dig out the catalogs and find those R1 Tyroleans.

            I'd love to have an HW55 and that one on the left would work just fine.

                I bought my RX1 in Santa Rosa years ago. Mounted
                a SS2L 4X Blue Ribbon an it. With muzzle brake and
                a ton of pellets ready for a new home if anyone is interested. 25 caliber hits with a wallop!

                  ya, wasn't that many years ago when you could find them regularly on airgun classifieds for $300-$400.

                          Air guns sure did look better in the Beeman days.

                            loved the shop in santa rosa i remember when they shut down i bought their framed beretta posters still have a couple catalogs there was no way i was paying more for an airgun than a real gun i remember the tempest pistols i thought they looked so high tech i was only like 18 at the time i couldn't buy pistols yet

                              Nice collection, always want a R-1 as a teen. Instead I bought a .177 Beeman C-1 in the early 80's (saved up paper route money), got the cheapest blue ribbon scope. Still own both. I believe it is a re-branded/reconfigured (Western leverage action stock) Webly Vulcan. Actually shot it a few months ago, seemed to do OK. Not sure it is very desirable. Or if it could be serviced/tuned up.

                              I was the envy of my friends with a 830 fps rating compare to their 10 pump Daisy's and Crossman's at 710 fps. Spring piston airguns were rare in my circles.

                              Thanks for sharing.
