Beeman RS2 Dual-Caliber Scope Combo

Really liked the idea of getting two barrels for the price of one. I have really enjoyed this RS2, accuracy has been much better than I would have guessed. I would recommend this gun to anyone who wants to have some fun. Squirrels don't have a chance.

Bought the dual caliber RS2 Sportsman in 2005 from Walmart for $98 . I had always been a firearms guy , but moved to an urban area & had gangs of squirrels that needed thinning out & a firearm was out of the question considering my location. I shot it with just open sights for almost 5 years until my sight decline required me to use a scope. I credit this gun for getting me into air gunning. I have thousands of rounds through it with no problems. I've read some of the reviews calling it junk. I must have got a good one or either those other guys don't know much about break barrel air guns. First don't expect a break barrel of any brand to be a consistent tack driver till at leas t 200 rounds . Also torque &Loktite all stock mount screws and barrel securing screw. After all these years , it still looks & functions perfectly. Plus is consistently accurate . I have many other air rifles , but still enjoy my RS2 .

Pros
Smooth trigger . Beautiful stock , fiber optic open sights & scope option , very accurate after breaking in with at least 300 rounds ,Easy to cock and above all low price. Shoots a wide variety of pellet styles well.

Cons
Not much con.Maybe thicker breech seal.

Pros
I can hit what I'm aiming at. No surprises,very accurate.

Cons
Option of a small tripod would be nice.

Change barrels will require re-zero of course.

Pros
Great gun for the money. Came with two barrels and 4x Beeman scope. Will shoot sub 1 inch group at 30 yrds, artillery hold, with Walmart Crosman 14.3 Premier Hollow points. See photo. I don't have a crony but net search says .22 shoots 830 fps. At 20 yards it shot thru an empty steel green bean can and passed entirely thru a 20 ounce water bottle behind it. 21.8 foot pounds with this pellet. Pass thru shots on squirrels, and shot a dried up deer skull and pellet went all the way thru. Would probably take a coon, bobcat, fox with head shot. May try on a coyote.

Cons
.22 had some barrel droop. Had to shim scope to adjust to zero, but decently accurate for a break barrel. Kind of long, but has to be to make cocking less difficult. I put sling studs on it. i don't use metal sling attachments due to noisy rattle. I buy black boot laces and tie the sling to the studs.

I read the directions and am familiar with the process of zeroing the scope but the knobs don't seem to adjust but come off easily. Also not a fan of not having iron sights.

This rifle is quite powerful. At 25 ft. , .22 cal. / 15.3 grain pellets would nearly penetrate 3/4 rock maple (the hardest commercial wood ) Trigger has no creep, iron sights are very good,cocking effort is reasonable,fit and finish is good,accuracy is good and recoil is not bothersome. In it's price range, I found no reason to look further..........

Pros
Power

Cons
None

This has been a lot of fun to shoot has great power and is a good looking gun.

Pros
Easy to cock, good looking, easy to change barrels, not pellet picky.

Cons
Heavy, have to learn how to open hold

I like this gun, you get what you pay for.

Pros
Accurate,quite and light

Cons
Not very powerful.

This is the first air rifle I bought after years of using an RWS model 45. While it has a little more power, it has a much less desirable trigger. Heavily lubed from the factory it took a lot of shots before being broke in and read for serious shooting. Like any springer, it is hold sensitive. A little pellet picky, and the velocities on the box are wishful thinking. It is a heavy gun. Weighs more than the RWS 45. Accurate enough, but after adjusting the trigger, accuracy got better. In .177 I use RWS Super H Point pellets. In .22 I use JSB or Crossman 14.5 gr Premier pellets. The Crossman only shoot .005" larger 5 shot groups at 40 yards, and cost a quarter of what the JSB pellets do. If you want both a .177 and a .22 this may be the rifle for you.
The scope that came with the rifle went on a cheap .177 Beeman 500. I use a 3-12X40 AO mil dot Barska on this rifle. This allows much better pellet placement, and allows shooting rats to jack rabbits.

Pros
Nice finish. Dual caliber.

Cons
Could use a better trigger. Heavy. A bit pellet picky.

It's a great gun but it has more power than it can handle my gun is wobbly the nuts and screws always seem to come loose no matter how tight I tighten them from the shaking of the gun

Pros
It's very powerful and its dual barrel system makes it so much easier to shoot both types of pellets And since it has so much power is able to pull out through very exotic pellets from very heavy two very light

Cons
The screws never seem to stay tight after the fifth shot
