I purchased the SR2 sportsman series from my local walmart. It came with both .177 and .22 cal. barrels for around $120. I must say the first few days I had very eratic groups. This was due to the factory oil in the barrel and cheap pellets.(daisy) 500 shots later and a switch to meisterkulgn pellets. It's shooting 1/2 in. groups at 25yrds. love it!

It set me back 139 bucks. What do you expect for that kind of money? Hopefully not a match grade rifle,but something more suited for ploinking or even hunting small game. I think the RS2 is an acquired taste.

I would like to write about the Beeman 1073 Spring Air Rifle.
This is a Chinese-made gun sold at WalMart for $124, and has two barrels: you're not paying for an Olympic Air Rifle.
I have no trouble cocking it,
The scope and barrels do not come loose.
The wood looks good.
The weight is a little heavy.
Accuracy--well, with the 177 barrel I can make a 2" group with 10 rounds at 30 yards.
This morning with the 22 barrel I made a 1-3/4" group (with one flyer at 5/8" farther out, for a 2-3/8" grou ...

The Beeman 1073 is a great looking air-rifle, however, as great as it looks it's performance is terrible. I,ve been trying to achieve a decent shot group but could not get a group small than the size of a softball at 40 yards. No luck either with the .177 or .22 cal. Every shot fired was center on target with a rest and scope. After firing 100 shots plus - it lead to much frustration. Additionally, the scope, at one point, had to be cranked 20 clicks to adjust for one-inch on paper at 40 ya ...

I recently purchased a Beeman Dual Caliber 1073 Sportsman RS2 Series. Always wanted to own one. Probably one of the worst mistakes that I ever made. I target practice probably more than some, from air rifles to large caliber, and enjoy it enough that my ten year old son has taken up the habit and loves it as much as I do. Granted, I still may be doing something wrong, but, with about 100 plus shots fired through it, I still am unable to form any type of decent grouping - .177 or 22 cal. Shootin ...

As I use only the .22 barrel I have had no problems with the screw loosening. Beeman customer service suggests using Tefflon plumbing tape to solve the problem. I am going to have to buy a bullet trap, (designed to stop .22lr), as I shot through my steel pellet traps. I would suggest buying a muzzle brake, (Beeman # 7127), which will give a bit more leverage and thusly lessen the 38# cocking effort.The trigger is adjustable, and doing so makes the Beeman dual caliber 1073 a delight to shoot.

I was pretty happy for the first couple of days owning this new air gun but now I must say I am really disappointed in the craftsmanship of the gun and the scope. I found that the once I got the scope sighted in it started walking all over the place and I could not even get the scope to focus on my target at 30 feet. Turns out that the set screw for the .177 barrel will not stay snug and the rear lens of the scope came dislodged inside the cylinder. I was able to reassemble the lens in the scope ...

for those of you thinking about buying a beeman 1073 air rifle ( the use of air rifle here is an act of overly extreme kindness ) DONT!!!! the 1073 is a piece of cheaply made crap that beeman should be ashamed of themselves for putting on the market. both of the fixed front sights on the 22 and 177 barrels have shattered in use. the telescopic sight that came with the rifle failed at about 100 shots. the telescopic sight stop broke ancd fell off at about 150 shots. beeman says that this type of ...

Purchased this beeman dual caliber rifle from Big-5 for $140.00 with a scope and
synthetic stock, plus .177 and .22 barrels.
Set up a 25 yard target. Roughed in the scope with a laser
bore sighter.
Took about 10 shots to make one half inch groups.
After about the 25 shots, accuracy went out by 4-inches.
Problem is the screw that holds the barrel in place comes
loose. The fix is some non hardening locktight.

The beeman dual caliber rifle, case, scope and barrels appear well made. It seems to be powerful if due to the heavy spring, the sound when it is fired compared to a gun of lesser advertised power and the depth of penetration of the pellets into a wood block. Comments by others that the seal doesn't want to stay in place seem accurate. The rough interior of barrels probably accounts for the poor grouping of the rifle I received. The very poor design of the open sights accounts for the impos ...

the Beeman Dual Caliber 1073 Sportsman RS2 Series is possibly the worst air rifle on the market!!!! why? read on. within 12 shots the front sight had broken on the 22 cal barrel, within 100 shots the telescopic sight that came with the rifle failed ( with the sight adjustments level the cross hairs are 20 degrees canted ) after 150 shots the scope stop screw broke, and the scope stop fell off. almost all of the screws on the rifle have worked loose and are proving difficult to keep tight without ...

The Beeman Dual Caliber 1073 is what many have called it, a cheap air rifle. Within 24 shots the front sight on the 22 cal barrel had broken. One would think that Beeman would match the accuracy of the two barrrels better. The difference between sighting in the .177 and the .22 is almost 10 inches at 20 yards! I am sure they can do better than that. Two other big complaints are the rifle is advertised as having an european hardwood stock, I seriously doubt that it, mine dings very easily the oth ...

The Beeman Dual Caliber 1073 Sportsman RS2 Series rifle is expensive. But it does not shoot like it.
Even when I purchased an expensive scope.
It is powerful but it is not accurate, and it seems to have problem keeping the black rubber ring seal in place.

got this Beeman Dual Caliber 1073 Sportsman RS2 Series rifle mainly for the price, velocity, and dual barrels. Had it a couple of weeks and am very pleased with it. In the first day I had groups the size of a quarter with the .177 and when i finally found some good hollow point .22 I was doing the same with them and thats anywhere from 30 to 50 yards! I wouldn't recommend using the.177 in urban neighbor hoods either since it hits almost 1100 fps and makes a crack when it breaks the sound barri ...

The Beeman Dual Caliber 1073 Sportsman RS2 Series is a nice spring powered air rifle. It has a wooden stock that is as nice as most mid-grade firearms. I have had it about 3 days and have put it through the paces. I sighted the scope at 20yrds and it hits dime size. It drops about an inch at 35 and stays in a quarter group.It goes through gutter steel at both ranges with no problem.The amo I use is crossman pointed premium grade with a pointed tip.This is not a loud gun, sounds about like a car ...

This Beeman Dual Caliber 1073 Sportsman RS2 Series rifle sells for about $125 at Walmart. I went with this rifle after trying my luck with some less expensive makes and models and not being satisfied. Out of the box it appears to be a quality piece of craftsmanship. The break barrel cocking is a little stout at first, but becomes easier with the proper technique. After 200+ 22cal rounds it's settling down and becoming more consistently accurate. The scope is bright and clear. Make sure you tight ...

Just purchased this Beeman Dual Caliber 1073 Sportsman RS2 Series yesterday. Put the scope on and could not get the scope to focus up close to get the gun sighted in. Put a different scope on and sighted in. Accuracy is improving as the gun gets broken in.I found the safety kept flopping back down after pushing it forward to fire. It is a bit heavy for me.I also find the cocking is a bit difficult. I have a bad shoulder so this may be some of the problem. A good pellet gun for the money. Have no ...

I expected hard cocking and huge recoil from the Beeman Dual Caliber 1073 Sportsman RS2 Series. i am hoping both will relax with time. i went halfway through a tin of 22s and was unable to hit my basketball post. my powerline 880 was accurate enough out the box to hit a 3-inch square every shot at 20 yards. yes, i verified my aim with the 880. i stopped shooting when the original rubber seal broke down, tore and fell out. the thing is HEAVY. i tried shooting with the scope and then took it off ...
