    Beeman's warranty and service department are remarkable! Top quality materials and construction. Fabulous trigger. Sets the standard for an all-around adult air rifle in .177. Expensive, but well worth every cent ( this isn't really a "bad" point)

    I bought the R9 because of all the rave reviews globaly, I've always enjoyed a good quality break-barrel springer!

    Overall the R9 is impressive to say the least, the blueing is superb and flawless with German engineering oozing all over the place. The rifle is really nice to look at.

    The Rekord t ...

    Comment by Arkansas Man::: About a year ago I purchased my Beeman R-9 air rifle from Pomona Air Guns in Califorinia, and I must say Steve, (the business owner) did me right. Now to truly appriciate a well built Beeman rifle you would need to shoot a Gamo for a couple years prior. I always had prec ...

    Got my R9 new in 2003 and was shooting and shooting it. Just couldn't get it to group. Finally decided to send it to a tuner for a tune in Feb 2005...didn't see it again for 12 months. Finally got it back in Feb 2006. If you are planning to shoot this gun in Field Target competition, BE WARNED this ...

    Great reputation and well earned. The Beeman R9 holds the title of being the standard for serious starter air rilfe, its arguable that BSA, RWS and Webely may makes a better rifle. But not going by sells here in the USA or AR vetrans on the forums giving advice.

    Its the most recommended and cop ...

    Before shooting your new R9 Goldfinger. Clean the bore thoroughly! Tighten all the stock screws and the front trigger guard screw. All mine needed tightened. Leave the rear stock screw alone. Seems to take a few hundred shots to 'break in'. Diesels for the first hundred to two hundred shots. Will s ...

    I've owned a few air rifles over the past 20 years including a Webley Stingray, a Beeman R7,an HW77,and an FWB 124D.The R9 was bought as a replacement for my 20 plus year old FWB 124,which was stolen. A tough task, replace a classic, and my favourite rifle. Out of the box the rifle was a little roug ...

    Do yourself a favour and look at the Webley Stingray instead.
    I've had the R-9 in the past,and I much prefer the Webley-see Webley Stingray section for more info.

    I had the r-7 before, not enough power. r-9 is great for my use. mostly quail, dove, rabbit, squirrel, and occasional pheasant. I love this gun. have killed squirrel at approx. 75 yds, 1 shot. goes clean through a full can of refried beans at 45 yds. hard boiled eggs explode at 25 yds. i shoot c.p.l ...

    The R-9 is great for hunting, target and plinking. With a little velocity tar on the mainspring, the gun goes "thunk" not "twang" and recoil/cocking effort is less. Have an inexpensive scope on mine and it has not destroyed it. The Rekord trigger, well-finished beech stock and blued Weihrauch barrel ...
