I bought this Beeman Silver Bear 1783 rifle 119 bucks at canadian tire and i think its very well made. Very accurate scope doesn't vibrate hits dead on. The power is pretty good i shot hollow tiped peletes into a 2/4 piece of wood and the a little over half of the pelet head whent into the wood. The hinge pull is very easy to pull the mussel break is nice. The only thing you will need to get used to is the trigger pull its a little tight you might have to practise a bit befor hunting small ga ...

This Beeman Silver Bear 1783 came with no open sights, and a terribly cheap scope. The trigger pull is about 25 lbs, and I can't group any barnd of .177 pellets inside a 3-inch circle at 25 yards as the break-point of the trigger is so inconsistent.
I try to eliminate nuisance birds (cowbirds, grackels, etc.) from my wife's bird feeders, and they get a very sporting chance as I can only hit about 20% of my shots with the crosshairs right on the bird and the rifle on a firm rest. I've tried ...

I think that the Beeman Silver Bear 1783 air rifle sucks. I have never killed anything with it. I cannot find anything good about this gun, its lacking in power and its not too good on the accuracy front either.

I got mine about 2 years ago paid 120 bucks for it in Canada at Canadian Tire. I love it killed small birds and frogs with it. Very good Accuracy. No complaints, lots of fun.

Good gun, not enough firepower though... still enough to kill birds. i shot at a skunk about 4 bullets in a row, it was down, but not dead... great 4 beginers.

No the best, not the worse. Can easily kill a large bird like a robin or blue jay at 50+ yards. Everybody says they are inaccurate, but I have mine 1/2 inch high at 40yrds. So at 50, I'm dead on. I've shot rabbits, squirrels, birds, you name it, I shot it.

I picked up this air rifle quite a few years ago for about 60 bucks. It shot decently at 25 yards, but it IS NOT a suitable varmint rifle. I shot a bird at 30 paces, and it hit the wing. It ran a bit, 2nd shot, it ran some more. 3rd shot was about 20 paces, and it still lived. I would never recommend this as a hunting rifle, only a plinker.

As a plinker, it does its job well for the money spent. I retired it for a Gamo Shadow 1000 (which recently had a broken seal) because the stock and the ...

I got my Beeman Silver Bear 1783 gun 4 years ago! It shoots accurately and works good. I like the stock and the scope rail seems smaller than 11mm. It's a great beginner gun! Also, there's a cool coating on the metal parts that protects it from rust.

I bought the Beeman Silver Bear 1783 air rifle yesterday. It seems to be very good. Better than my old Daisy 880 (except in power). It's a great starter gun, and extremely accurate! I don't know if it can take down birds as they haven't been visiting my yard lately. But it shoots 500+ fps, which means if the Beeman SS500 1026 is a black new version of this gun, then it too is capable of shooting up to 960 fps. This gun also looks very, very nice. I would recommend it as a starter gun, but not fo ...

Have compared the Silver Bear with the Crosman Quest, Benjamin Legacy and found the Beeman Silver Bear more accurate and better qulity than the other two mentioned. The Silver Bear cost much less money than the Quest and the Legacy.

Got my Beeman Silver Bear at Wal Mart for $25 on clearance. I lucked out and got the one box that had not been returned. In talking to the sport division guy, I found out most had been returned because the scopes were knocked silly in transport.

True to form, my scope was wacky. The crosshairs were so far out of whack that they formed an X instead of a cross. Oddly enough, I still managed decent groupings at roughly 20 feet with an out of camber scope.

Decent shooter, but power is limi ...

The Beeman Silver Bear 1783 Air Rifle is a great gun, and very accurate. All for 35 bucks! It wasn't ready to shoot right out of the box, but after some adjustment, it was extremely accurate. Cocking the gun is also very easy.

I would definitely recommend it.

This Beeman Silver Bear 1783 was my first airgun. A neighbour had loaned me a Crossman to help with my skunk/squirrel problem. This prompted me to purchase on e of my own. Even though the box states that scope is already sighted in. It needed tweaking. I found to shoot a little left & low. However it was easy to remedy. Got some free targets off the internet and printed some up. After an hour, I had the air gun shooting within a diameter of a quarter. Once you adjust yourself with the trigger me ...

I bought the Beeman Silver Bear 1783 gun for $57 at Walmart. It seemed like a decent choice since the Powerline 1000S was $94 and the Gamo Shadow was $124. Of course it doesn't have the power that the other guns do (500fps vs 1000fps), but it also doesn't require as much power to cock it. After reading good reviews on this page and reviewing the other options I went for it.

After I got it home I figured out that the scope wasn't mounted properly and therefore was also sighted improperly. I t ...

The Beeman Silver Bear 1783 is undoubtedly the funnest plinker I have ever owned, I have a Daisy Powerline 1000 and a Beeman R9, But those arent for the back yard. I usually shoot my Gamo and Benjamin pistols there but wanted a backyard plinker. I have to say I pleased with this little carbine, especially the price. By the way...the next piece I buy will be a Beeman P1 magnum. Think you guys could run a sale or something?

I bought a Beeman Silver Bear 1783 and it's a great air rifle. This air rifle is very accurate right out of the box.

Beeman Silver Bear 1783 - Of course with this gun being a springer you had the "twang" when fired. It did seam excessive for this guns low power. The scope shipped almost on target, it was only 2 inches down and right at 30 yards. After 2 adjustments i could put 1 large hole in the bullseye with 5 pellets. Extremely accurate gun just not enough power. This gun would be well suited for a young shooter. Very easy cocking, no risk of being pinched or anything.

I bought a Beeman Silver Bear 1783 for my sons birthday.
Graduated him from the Daisy Red Ryder he outgrew along time ago. Even though this gun would be considered a youth gun, I think I like shooting it more than he does. It is exteremly accurate after you get use to the trigger, but I think this helps children learn some good skills, such as sqeezing the trigger and not just pulling it. You can shoot 5 shots easily at 30 yards inside a dime with a little practice. If you upgraded the scope to ...

The Beeman Silver Bear 1783 is an excellent first pellet gun. As accurate and easy to handle as it gets for the price.
