Good Points: Very light gun.
Bad Points: Lack of power.
General comments: I had alot of fun shooting pigeons, but it was very hard because it lacked in power when I was trying to shoot birds high up in the trees. Great target shooter from about 30 yards but no further really. The Beeman is great for the price.

It's very good in general shooting and accuracy. Nice and light so easy to hold and aim. I think it should have come with a bipod but you can always get one yourselves. The Beeman FH500 is a really nice air rifle that i would recommend to other shooters.- Read Guest's review (49 words)

All in all i love this gun. Just bought it today fired quite a few rounds through it. Its really easy to cock, the auto safety is a good feature. Comes with scope which is always good. Main problem is that the scope doesn't click when trying to change elevation or windage knobs. Took me almost a half hour to get the scope sighted properly, but once you do its a dead on shot. Personally i don't mind the plastic too much, because my FH500 is made from really sturdy plastic. I'd recommend this to a ...- Read boondocksaint's review (124 words)

When adjusting the scope, turn the screwdriver clockwise for up or right, counter clockwise to make it go down or left.
Use a poster when you adjust.- Read Jlee87's review (61 words)

Good price. The Beeman FH500 is nice and light not any recoil. Its great at 475fps like me and my friend shot at a window his dint scratch it and mine shatterd it. It seems very accurate at short range. The bad things are. Its not very stong at long ranges not accurate at long ranges. Its very weak like I triped fell down and the plastic broke. The sight is not good at all at adjust ments I found it hard to aim. Its seems like its a toy. The scope I found hard to see the sight also I would like ...- Read EliteHunter's review (149 words)

The FH500 is small and toy like and at 500fps is a step up from the air soft rifles. I bought this rifle for my 12 year old son to plink in the garden,"under supervision" and he loves it.- Read The English Crow's review (44 words)

This Beeman FH500 was the first Air Rifle I owned and I was not impressed, on first impressions it looks very small, almost like a toy and it shoots like one too with very weak power barely enough to make the pellet stick into a piece of wood, and in many cases I have had the pellet simply bounce off targets, I am hoping to get a BSA Lightning for my next rifle which is in a totally different league to this rifle .- Read jamie321's review (91 words)

The Beeman FH500 is the First airgun I ever owned, also one of the cheapest on the market, so I wasn't expecting too much from it.
The gun is very easy to use, with not much cocking effort, and fairly low recoil; great for first time shooters. The gun is very light and easy to handle.
At 500fps in .177 calibre, it is slightly lacking in power, but still very effective at up to 40 feet or more. It is powerful enough to kill rats at short range, but if you're going for humane long range kill ...- Read Major Tom's review (199 words)

Beeman FH500 - Last time I shot an air rifle was over twenty years ago. Got the itch and decided to go for this entry level gun. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much for the price but I was pleasantly surprised.
The scope was a bit tricky to set but once set the rifle is pretty accurate, repeating well from around 30' to 35'. The rifle is a nice weight and the build quality for a rifle under £70 is reasonable. The stock looks cheap but lets be honest, what would you expect at this p ...- Read Crannee's review (160 words)

Beeman FH500:
Hello my friends, I would like to apologise first for my English.
For the last month I have tried four different airguns based on same "engine":
MARKSMAN 1790 BIATHLON TRAINER,
MARKSMAN 1745SF,
LaserHawk Competition Air Rifle,
and of course the Beeman FH500.
I don't think this is an issue of my bad luck but this Beeman FH500 was a last drop.
1) First thing I've noticed, as soon I received the rifle, the inner barrel was BENT!!!, it looks ok from outside as it is covered ...- Read Russian's review (322 words)

For my first airgun I'm very pleased with the Beeman FH500 overall. There was absolutely no comparison possible between the FH500 and my brother's older (20+ years) spring-piston rifle (although the refinished wooden stock/forestock on his looked very smart!). The zeroing/focusing of the scope took a surprisingly long time, and without the 'detent clicks' associated with higher-quality scopes I ended up turning the adjustment screws in quarter-turn increments. However, after zeroing, in an imp ...- Read speakers's review (281 words and 1 comment)

I just picked up my Beeman FH500 and my early review of the gun is that it is a very accurate gun right out of the box. I was able to hit the target within 1 inch or less apart at about 40' ( in my basement ) For power it tore through a pop can like it was going through paper. Not bad for 475 fps. ( Canadian version ) Ive read previous reports of wobbley barrels etc. But find mine to be tight. The trigger pull is a little heavy but I could get used to it real fast.
This weekend Im taking ...- Read losttourist's review (140 words and 1 comment)

I am fairly pleased with this air rifle it has good accuracy packing a fair deal of powerd (enough to reduce a tin can to tatters from 10m)
I am rather dissapointed with the quality of the scope and the stock and fore stock feals a bit loose
All in all an ideal air rifle for beginners cheap accurate and a fair deal of power- Read yermaw224's review (65 words)

I have found the Beeman FH500 a great starter rifle, being lightweight but accurate. However the scope has given problems. Sighting in at 15 yards, I am on full elevation and full left - the rifle shoots acurately on the horizontal, but I can't get better than 10cm low! There is no more travel in the scope elevation thread. Anyone else had this?? Any ideas??
The grouping is good though!- Read nico62's review (77 words and 1 comment)

I bought the Beeman FH500 and have killed countless birds. I was told it was not a hunting gun but proved otherwise. It's really accurate and i have found it easy to use.
Because it only takes one shot your target can get away but i don't really have a problem as it is very accurate.- Read DaniliLewis's review (111 words and 1 comment)

An all around good and reliable gun. Make sure that this is the gun for you before buying since it doesn't have sufficient power to take out a rabbit. If you want to hunt rabbits use ferrets instead. This gun will get the job done mice and such though.- Read 2505163015's review (57 words)
