What'cha doing air gun related today?

[JimT66]

Unboxed a brand new Beeman R7! Hopefully over the next week I can see if it’s a winner or lemon.

Florida man, the R7 is the smallish break barrel, yes? I have looked at those, and the clones before. Look like be nice with a pellet pen for quick reloading, to pop snakes with when fishin.

If yall not guessed it yet, while most yall use air rifles for ground squirrels and birds, I use em for snakes more than anything else. Trash pandas and yotes are definitely pellet catchers around my place, but copperheads and rattlesnakes are my biggest menace.

I shot the first 30 RWS 7gr pellets with the new Beeman R7. It’s been a long time since I shot iron sights over 10m. This was at 18yards. I did a casual shoot and balance rested the rifle on a bag, like in the photo. This was just part of the wear in and getting the iron sights close.
I have to say, it’s sooo nice having a quality springer! Let the adventure begin.
My last group is circled in green, all 5 shot groups. I did flip the box at one point, it needs some more rubber mulch.

Happy father’s day to all the dads. I got this shooting in before my son woke up!

Kids tried to get me to shoot a rabbit yesterday, but they didn't want to dress it.

Unless it destroying a garden, or gonna eat it, I don't blame you at all. I wouldn't have either.

Yeah, its a Beeman branded HW30 basically. A great backyard plinker. It had no problem taking out a squirrel at 18 yards today. The wadcutters really leave a hole!

I hate snakes!

Two grocery stores didn’t have baby back ribs, so I went with bacon wrapped tenderloin. Almost to temp.
I’ve been spoiled with PCP’s with scopes. But I just hit 3 in a row at this spinner at 18 yards with iron sights. I’m thoroughly enjoying this rifle.
Since this one will go to my son, I’m debating getting another of the same rifle or a Beeman R9 22 cal to shoot alongside him. I have time to decide. Tough choice.

Get the best of both worlds next.... grab an HW50 for yourself . Actually, there is no bad choice! I crave a nice 10-12ftlb springer on irons, maybe throw a scope on it, play around and see what she'll do for accuracy but ultimately shoot it on irons. Would pit it heavily against my posh TX200. Enjoy!

Pork loin turned out great, and I got a few more shots off

Yeah, the 50 has been on my radar. This R7 is getting a scope this week to see what it can do.

I pulled the FX impact apart and installed the Oring that's suppose to stop the slow first few shots. Haven't tested it yet as it's 98f outside. I'm also checking to see if changing that Oring stopped the ssllooww leak.

I’m really interested in that Snowpeak. Did you get it in .22 or .25?

Lol no thanks. Don’t wanna pay $1200 for a gun I can get for $800 from Canada.

Yeah why pay more…

My Grandfather taught me at an early age that a fool and his money soon part ways.

Installing scope on my HW50S.

Trashing birds that are caught in the act of stealing my cherries for themselves. Hades 15.89gr @ 920-ish fps. Absolute shredder. 30Fpe is just so right for the task.

Heck yeah! Get after it! I love cherry’s myself so if you see a weirdo with a cutoff t-shirt with a Raccoon’s face on it don’t shoot please! That’s prolly just me grabbing a quick snack

Hahaha! I hear you. I got a big tree right off my carport. It has those little black berries on it. Thousands of them. They actually ferment, and these stupid birds eat them till they to drunk to even fly. I've seen them, every year, literally fall outta the tree and into the grass. And worst part is, it gives them the beer squirts, and they crap all over everything. Well, that tree is one huge target trap now. It's almost to easy, shooting on a baited field!
