Good Points: POWER, 2 power settings in one gun and oh yes POWER.
Bad Points: Discontinued, heavy, only about 100 were ever made.
General comments: The Beeman Dual Magnum is a .22cal. gun made by Theoben and can be found under either moniker. The difference between the 2 is the Theoben guns have a darker, tradition color brown stock and the Beeman has the, "Blonde" version. Since it is a Theoben product it has the famous gas piston which has no twang at all and its power is adjustable downwards by 20-30% by a schrader valve located at the rear of the compression tube. The gun is an underlever cocked gun with 2 power settings. The first sroke is impessive at 830-840 fps. with FTS pellets. You can then cock the gun a second time (yes the gun can be cocked twice) and fire the same FTS pellets @ 1040fps. Even the heavy Kodiak pellets are reaching 840 fps. a number that most piston struggle to achieve with a much lighter pellet. Theobens's literature rates the gun @ 22-24 fpe. on the first stroke and 30-36 fpe. on the second. There is no other piston gun around that can match these numbers except for possibly a custom made gun. The gun also has a unique, "pop up" loading port that is some what cumbersome and things get worse if you use a large scope like my Weaver V16. This gun will send pellets clean thru 2"X4" boards at about 25 ft. People have used this gun to take Rockchucks out to 93 yards. This kind of power is only surpassed by some PCP guns and this one never needs to be refilled. The Dual Magnum is about another 100 fps. faster than even the Theoben Eliminator! Awesome power, nice looks, solid as a rock but very, very rare.
