Good Points: Everything about this gun is first class. Having tried three different springers before this, trying to shoot consistent groups smaller than 3/4 of an inch at 25'I was completely blown away by the Goldfinger R9! Out of the box accuracy is amazing, my first groups out to 20 yards could be covered by a dime. My only experience before the R9 has been with the 177 caliber, the difference in energy the 22 caliber delivers at the target was immediately apparent as it blew completely through my 3/8 plywood backstop, blowing splinters all over the place. Out of curiosity I tried firing into a phone book at 25 feet, the pellet stopped after 230 pages of ma bell's best, flatten into a 1/4 disk.
Bad Points: None I have found after four months and about 2000 rounds!
General comments: There is no comparison between the R9 and lower priced models like the Legacy 1000, Winchester or Remington offerings. I don't mean to say the three are not well worth the money, but the difference between them is startling. The Goldfinger's trigger is as smooth as oil running down a plate glass window, I fired five rounds before I could even begin to catch up with the precision of the trigger pull.
Everything about the gun says quality. Cocking is one smooth motion from start to finish.... no noise or rough spots, nothing but a precise click at the end of the stroke. I you are looking for an air gun that is capable of shooting single hole groups at 20 yards if you do your job (which with me is seldom the case), if you want a air gun that rivals the accuracy, quality, and fit and finish of a high end centerfire rifle, then the extra money spent on the Goldfinger is a no brainer.
By the way Bass Pro Shops have by far the best deal on the Goldfinger.

Ijust bought the NEW Beeman Goldfinger R9 .22 with 3-9x32 Beeman/Bushnell Scope. It came out August 1, 2006. It's one amazing gun. If you have craved the accuracy/power/quality of an R9 but really wanted a .22 caliber. WAIT NO MORE!
Accuracy:
My 1st Shot with the gun: I hit a penny from 10 yards away with cheap pellets. Very accurate and I haven't even broken it in yet. I shot a few more shots and they were all within a nickel. (I was using a 3-9x32 Beeman/Bushman Scope that came wi ...
