Great find, "The Beeman R1 Supermagnum Air Rifle" book

Wanted one for years. Came across this NEW book for a great price (IMO) of $55 smackeroonies. Should make for a nice read😉

Love that straight blade trigger on the cover model.

A truly great read - both as a chronical of experiments in the 90s and also a reminder of advances (or changes) in springer knowledge over the last 20+ years. If you don't already have them, you might want to get the entire set of Airgun Letter and the "Review" books as well. Money well spent.

While digging around last week, came across a few of Tom Gore's original products, some of which ae mentioned in the book. They are generally superb in design and execution. Has anyone tried the new Vortek products? Have seen mention of them, but they seem to be made overseas. Don't even know f Tom is still the designer.
