Beeman AR2078A

Long take up before reaching the final trigger let off. It can be confusing but the pull is very soft. You can get 40 full power shots with one charge and then it diminishes in power. Comes with a key to discharge remaining air so that the air chamber can be opened to change air cartridges. Fun to shoot. Buy the .177 Cal version with the faster muzzle velocity; 650 FPS muzzle velocity may not sound like much but it equates to 443 MPH so this is good for killing small pests at ranges of up to 20 yards with hunting pointed pellets.

Pros
Accurate. Designed for 10 meter competition shooting but accurate to 25 meters. It is a Chinese made rifle patterned after a Walther air rifle circa 1970. Bought mine in 2008 from another company that had then exclusive import rights and never had a problem. It is very good for both indoor and outdoor practice when going to the range is inconvenient. Light and good ergonomic stock.

Cons
Rear precision is as cheap as they get but to be expected. I threw it away and put on a scope. On occasion I put on it my Anschutz precision match sights from my Anschutz Super Match (22lr) rifle. A good set of precision sights are well over $400.00 but not for a $200.00 practice rifle, I just happened to have one available. Keep the sight if you must. Though I like the stock and it is comfortable for me, it is not for people with long limbs that require a long length of pull if shooting other than bench rest.

No customer service !!!

Pros
This rifle performed as expected.

Cons
After some time the sear spring broke causing the bolt not to operate. Customer service after some time answered and agreed to send me one. Five weeks later I received 2 o-rings but no spring. Now after 6 months repeated emails and phone calls they don't answer their phone or respond to emails.

The gun is more accurate with the RWS R10 Match Plus Premium Line 7.0 grain pistol pellets.

Pros
Update on my review back in 2017. I love this rifle, good trigger, now that I’m accustomed to the sights, I’m constantly shooting 36 to 38 out of 40. The sights are entry level, I realized I was left eye dominate so now I wear a blinder. I consistently get over 100 shots out of the CO2 bulbs, but I can hear the report of rifle that the CO2 is starting to drop around 82 shots, I have an indoor range so I can hear it, I go up in elevation, until the I don’t waste pellets.

Cons
Needs a adjustable cheek comb and stock. Better sights. But that would raise the price.

I purchased the .22 Model. With this gun at 10 Meters you get a single ragged hole with RWS Hobby Wadcutter pellets. The diopter sights are easy to get used to and work well.

Pros
Gun balances extremely well in your hands when standing. The airgun is generally not pellet picky and does very well with lead free pellets too. Accuracy at 10-20 Meters is awesome. Have shot it out to 30-40 yards also to hit cans without any trouble. I like that this airgun has a degassing tool so you can purge what is left of the CO2 without having to dry fire until pressure is low enough to remove the cap.

This is an excellent entry level competion air rifle if not more than that. Extremely accurate.

Pros
Very well balanced, light weight, sights are great except in low light.

Cons
This is an outstanding rifle however the sights are a little hard to see in lower light situatons, however you really don't want to shoot it in lower light anyway which is why I gave it a five star review.

I'm very, very new to this, actually first air rifle, I don't count the BB gun I had as a kid. I'm very familiar with firearms, having shot IDPA, IPSIC, skeet, sporting clays and 3 gun events. Having alway wanted to get into biathlons and thought this rifle would be an excellent practice rifle. The trigger is excellent, for a $200 rifle I was impressed. The sights, which I am still getting use to, is in my opinion adequate and was no illusion would be anything but adequate. Accuracy, is in my opinion adequate, mainly because I am still getting familiar with everything about this rifle and trying to find out what pellets this rifle likes. I think it's an outstanding rifle for $200. Fit and finish seems adequate for a Chinese made rifle. I am throughly addicted to air rifles. Even with all the perceived "faults" I still think this is a 5 star rifle because of the "fun value".

Pros
Excellent trigger.

Cons
The sights, adequate for a $200 entry level rifle.

I'm just a casual shooter, but I like accuracy. This rifle was a tack driver right out of the box. Seems to do well with many different pellets. Decent trigger and sights. All in all, very satisfying!

Pros
Great feel when shouldered. Excellent price point.

Cons
None.

I can consistently hit quarter sized groups or less from 10 meters with this rifle. It is very, very repeatable. My only gripe is the peep sight. Once zeroed in there is absolutely no more travel down and even then it consistently hits about 10mm high at 10 meters. I'll be looking for a replacement sight soon for this one as the quality on this one is not quite up to par.

Pros
Very consistent

Cons
Mediocre peep sight

Well done is how I feel about the gun and the service,

Pros
All plus

Cons
none

I had no idea how much I would love this gun, I was apprehensive at the 2 co2 bulbs but sure enough as others have said 0-70 is right on.
In a 30m it is dead on and a vety comfortable trigger at sub 3lbs OTBx. ACCURATE! And co2 powered . The power drop occurs at bulls-eye no idea co2 is low. Next shot is 2 inches low. Just like that. No guessing.
For both noob airguners to experienced it will be liked. Stock is fantastic. I have an Olympic Biathlon .22lr and the feel is very similar. Sighting is just like my Biathlon.
I would recommend mastering it b4 getting is so, a scope. It is scope ready.

Heartedly recommend to a friend, or other.

Pros
Accuracy, tightness, looks, trigger, fun!

Cons
None
