Good Points

The Beeman Silver Bear was inexpensive. And it included a scope. Was purchased at Walmart for $45.

Bad Points

Gun was rather heavy. Break breach loading is not the easiest way to go. Trigger pull (too much leeway).

General Comments

This Beeman Silver Bear 1783 was my first airgun. A neighbour had loaned me a Crossman to help with my skunk/squirrel problem. This prompted me to purchase on e of my own. Even though the box states that scope is already sighted in. It needed tweaking. I found to shoot a little left & low. However it was easy to remedy. Got some free targets off the internet and printed some up. After an hour, I had the air gun shooting within a diameter of a quarter. Once you adjust yourself with the trigger mechanism, you're ok. It has a bit play. You have to squeeze a little distance to take off the long pull. But, I mastered it quick. For the money, it's a great buy. At 500fps, was skeptical about actual knock down. Out of 5 squirrels, one shot, one kill at short distance.
