What to Know About Beeman Air Guns

Beeman Precision Airguns lists its products at beeman.com, with a listed address in Santa Fe Springs, California. Its catalog covers air rifles, air pistols, pellets, scopes, and accessories.

Beeman sorts its rifles by power source. Sportsman Series models are break-barrel rifles, PCP models use compressed air, and Power Series models run on CO2.

Break-Barrel Beeman Air Rifles

Break-barrel rifles are cocked by breaking the barrel open. Beeman describes a gas ram as a sealed cylinder of compressed gas that replaces the mainspring. It lists a shorter lock time and smoother cocking as benefits.

The Longhorn II 10611 is a dual-caliber break-barrel rifle rated at 1,200 fps. It is 45.5 inches long, weighs 8.5 pounds, and includes a 4x32 scope and mounts.

The Black Cub 1022 is a dual-caliber, spring piston rifle rated at 1,000 fps in .177. It weighs 6.3 pounds and includes a 4x32 scope. The 10616 is 49 inches long and 8.5 pounds, with a synthetic stock and a 4x32 scope.

The 1073GP is a break-barrel gas ram rifle with interchangeable barrels. It is rated at 1,200 fps in .177, weighs 9 pounds, and includes a 4x32 scope with a European hardwood stock.

Beeman PCP Air Rifles: Chief, Chief II, and Under Lever

PCP rifles use compressed air instead of a spring. Beeman says this makes them nearly recoilless, and you cock them with a bolt instead of breaking the barrel.

The Chief 1317 in .177 and Chief 1322 in .22 are 39 inches long and weigh 6.8 pounds. Both run on 2,000 psi, use a single-shot bolt action, and have a built-in pressure gauge. Beeman lists up to 50 shots per fill in .177 and up to 35 in .22.

The Chief II 1327 in .177 and 1328 in .22 add a 10-shot magazine, a manual safety, and a noise suppressor. The PCP Under Lever 1357 is 32 inches long and 7.28 pounds, with a 12-shot magazine, 3,000 psi fill, and a front underlever for cocking.

How to Choose a Beeman Air Gun
