“I got me Beeman air gun at walmart in Panama City Fl....”

Written on: 30/12/2008 by ractsan2

I got me Beeman air gun at walmart in Panama City Fl. It cost me $125.00+ Tax. I like that you can change the barrels from .177 cal to a .22 cal. I set a 3/4 inch plywood at 25 yds and went all the way thru the wood with .177 cal.,I love the power it has!! also copperhead makes hunting pellets (which is what I used on the wood) are the best so far that I use. As for breaking it in, I went thru the wood with my third shot right out of the box!!! (read more)

“This Beeman shot within 1/2" of where I was aiming...”

Written on: 04/01/2007 by machinehead (10 reviews written)

This Beeman shot within 1/2" of where I was aiming first shot! The backyard range is about 30 yards. The Beeman comes to point almost like magic. It is very stable and has a suprisingly good trigger for a springer. I don't feel the need to do any adjusting of the trigger yet.
I am aware that this gun is actually a Norica made in Spain. In fact, there was a Beeman GS950 sticker on top of the Norica logo which is on top of the gun behind the rear sight. The sticker comes off with a little WD40... (read more)

Check out the rifle on Beeman's site. There's a gold sticker on the side of the stock, just above the trigger.

<br/>
<br/>You can remove it, but the stock is recessed underneath, so there will be an oval-shaped flat spot left when it's gone.

Here's a photo of the rifle on the Airgun Express website:

<br/>Maybe this reviewer got one without the sticker, but mine came with the sticker. The rifles pictured on Beeman's, Pyramid's, and other sites appear to have the sticker. Your results may vary.
<br/>
<br/>Here's a site listing a variety of Norica airguns in the UK. Some have the sticker and some don't.

My Two Cents Worth;
<br/> My GH950 also has no ugly gold Beeman emblem "ANY Where" on my Gold Series rifle recently bought from
<br/> the Sportsmans Guide.Don't know why I was so lucky, but I'm grateful and if you read my review I really love this
<br/> rifle. It's a winner!

Written on: 16/04/2006 by glock 35 (1 review written)

I bought this Beeman GS950 rifle for the reputation of Beeman and this price (basically the same of Crosman Quest, Daisy 1000 and many China clones and below the price of a Benjamin 1000 and RWS 94).
In metal and wood finish, sigths and accuracy this rifle compare favorable (superior) to my guns Daisy 1000,Industry Brand B2A2, RWS 93 and Daisy 131. In shooting performance my GS950 are equal or litle below my RWS94 over 35 yards.
For pest control, this rifle eliminated cleanly a mongoose at... (read more)

“I bought this Beeman GS950 .22 rifle because it was on...”

Written on: 07/03/2006 by scottro (3 reviews written)

I bought this Beeman GS950 .22 rifle because it was on closeout from a mail order outdoor store for $118.00. I wanted a Magnum .22 break barrel rifle, and the price was very right. It's a Beeman branded rifle, but it's not a German Beeman. This rifle is made in Spain by Norica and imported by Beeman. It is approximately on the same quality level as a Gamo. It has nice metal fit and finish and decent reddish stained wood. It shoots very well but without modifications, it's pretty harsh... (read more)

All of the Beeman rifles are imported unless the rifle has an "R" in the name such as R1.

If you live in the US, then all Beeman guns are imported.
<br/>R-series are built by Weihrauch in Germany.
<br/>GH and GS series by Norica in Spain.
<br/>SS series by a factory in China.
<br/>The Patriot has been built by Webley in Great Britain, but with Webley&#039;s recent troubles, it&#039;s rumored to be built in Turkey in the future.

“Beeman GS950 .22: ”

Written on: 17/02/2005 by sailbode (1 review written)

Beeman GS950 .22:
After 30 years of shooting an old Crosman, I decided to treat myself to a modern, "quality", air gun in the $200 price range. The GS950 looked and felt like a great candidate so I took the plung. Initially my only issue was accuracy, but a few other minor quality issues have come up also. The best consistant group I get with this gun is 3 inches at 25 yards, which in my opinion is unacceptable. I read the owners manual where they claim 500 to 1000 rounds must be shot... (read more)

Hello sailbode......I don't know your rifle, but your mention of a 'pump arm' made me look for details and I find your gun is a relatively high-powered (by British non-FAC standards) break-barrel springer.
<br>
<br>Such a gun is extremely sensitive to 'hold' and could possibly be pellet fussy too. There is a wealth of information on those aspects on the Web which I'm sure will solve your problems provided your gun is free from any defect.
<br>
<br>Best of luck with sorting it out and please come back and let us know how you got on. If you can beg, buy or borrow the Cardews' book, 'The Airgun From Trigger To Target', which, in my opinion is a MUST READ for anyone seriously interested in airguns, that will surely help you to sort out any problems.

I have this gun. It's terrible. It is clunky and it's not worth the money. It has a goofy kind of side kick to it when shot.

<br/>The Beeman GS950 is not even close to my Benj or my Sheridan.

I would love to know the full story on this rifle. I have a GH950 and if you read my review you will see my example of this
<br/>rifle was extremely positive. No twangs clunks etc. and deadly accurate out to 30+ yds. My example doesn't have the but
<br/>ugly gold Beeman emblem either. It is made in Spain . I really like it better than any of my Gamo's except maybe my CfX.
<br/>If forced to chose I'd probably take the GH 950.

The Beeman GS950 .22 is my second Beeman airgun. I have the break barrel pistol also. Among my collection I have two Gamo .177 cal break barrel rifles. They will sit on the shelf while I happily plink away with the GS950.

Thanks for a great product (read more)

You are 100% correct, I too have 2 GAMO rifles that upon purchasing the SH1000H for 180.00 for my son I have no intentions of shooting either 890 .22 or the Elite in .177
<br>The fact that my guns were in the 275.00-300.00 only makes me feel cheated.

Written on: 20/08/2004 by air1 (2 reviews written)

I am a Beeman fan. Beeman is known world wide for its world-class air rifles, so I was shocked to see a Beeman product in Walmart. Curiosity set in, and after some thought, half a second worth, I decided to purchase.

The salesman warned me about accuracy problems and said that the barrel wouldn't break in for a couple of hundred rounds. Research on the web confirmed this. BS. To eliminate this issue, clean the dam thing before you use it. Seriously, Beeman uses wax and a lot of oil to seal... (read more)

Written on: 17/07/2004 by eericson (2 reviews written)

I just bought the Beeman GS950 .22 at Wal-Mart!!! of all places for US $209 + tax. This gun was a "combo" set up from the factory with a Beeman 3x9-32 scope pre-sighted in at 30 meters. Accuracy out of the box was good, adjusted scope slightly and has put 3 pellets right on top of one another at 30ft, on a windy day. Accuracy seems very good for a brand new Springer; I have been told it takes approx. 50-100 pellets for the gun to settle in. I have gotten 2 finches so far with it, both at... (read more)

Could you advise the location of the Wal-mart that you got it at? My area Wal-marts don't carry it, and don't want to do the research to find out what stores do.

Damn, I just found out by calling Walmart in Milpitas and also Beeman. That rifle is Model 1774, which is the GH950 with a Walmart model, and the guy said it is $180.94 plus tax with a 4x32 scope. Beeman tells me that the rifle is only packaged for Walmart and is only sold in California, and Walmart cannot ship it out of state. Not knowing anyone in California makes it impossible to buy it. I just placed an order with Air Guns of Arizona for it at $239.00 plus $20.00 shipping. I saw it on Compasseco.com for $220 plus $20 shipping, but Air Guns tells me that they get the gun, unpack it, test fire it, and repack it in double box. If they really do it, it's worth the $19.....but I'd love to have been able to get it for $181 at Walmart!

HEY INTEWEDM. First off, get your gun yet??? Wal-Mart actually stocks 2 different GS950 models. The one made for them has a different stock, no checkering at the front, only at "pistol grip" area. Also the shape of the stock is different at the barrel. The one I got for $209.00 at Wal-Mart is an "actual" Beeman, built by/for Beeman only. I saw them both side by side at Wal-Mart in Fairfield, Ca this week. They are definitely different. If you ordered yours on-line from the place you were talking about it probably will be the "higher" end model. Good luck and let us know how you like the new gun.

I was on vacation and got the rifle a few days after I returned. It came with a tin of Beeman Silver Bear pellets. The pellets are so much better than the Chinese "junk" I was using. The first shot was at a bird on my suet feeder, 10 meters away, and the bird is now in "bird heaven". I couldn't be more pleased. I am not missing any varmints that are raiding our bird feeders. The rifle is quieter too, so I won't be tipping of the neighbours that I am shooting. The only "problem" is that it's pretty long and it's hard to sneak it around my blind without the varmints seeing it. Slow and easy does it though.

Beeman GS950:
I read a lot of reviews and did a great deal of research online to find the best air rifle for me. I wanted to make sure my first air rifle was not a bad experience. I wanted a rifle you could use for urban pest control in an urban/suburban environment (mainly "dumpster chickens" that start making noise at 4:00am outside the apartment). I've used a number of rifles from .22 to .308 and .50. This was my first "air rifle".

From the factory, the scope was well-tuned but I... (read more)

Written on: 29/12/2003 by djhilly (1 review written)

First impression when opening the box was not good. The rifle was not wrapped in paper or plastic and had a covering of fine brown dust from the cardboard. The muzzle and front sight were unprotected from the rough handling of shipping. After wiping the rifle off with a silicone treated cloth things began to look up. All metal parts are nicely polished and blued with no visible tool marks. The hardwood stock is also nicely finished with a walnut stain, although there seems to be some grain... (read more)

Give Beeman a call and order the Crow Magnum Pellets they are awesome. Also Try the RWS Superdome Pellets they give excellent results. I wouldnt be using Daisy pellets on this puppy you may break the piston due to hard slamming against the breech. Too much power for cheap pellets.

Update; I have taken your advice and purchased some higher quality pellets. Dynamit Nobel Superdomes, Beeman Crow-Magnum as well as some Crossman Copperheads.
<br>
<br>The Copperheads are much better then the Daisy. The quality of the Crow-Magnums and the Superdomes are easily seen. But my shooting has not improved all that much. I’ve shot another 200-300 round mixture of these pellets and still I am not getting the groups I think I should be getting. Best groups are still around 1” but not consistent with too many flyers. It could be the rifle is still breaking in or more likely I am not shooting this rifle well. Strangely the cheapest pellet (Copperhead) seems to be the most consistent. Also the Crow-Magnum show signs of instability. They tear paper targets and leave a lead smudge mark in wooden boards. More shooting is in order. Perhaps I’ll try another scope.
