Tuning Has anyone experienced HW90 tack driving accuracy?

[r1lover]

So can anyone show me tack driving accuracy from their HW90/Beeman RX? I keep thinking I want one but the below video makes me wonder if it can get 1/2 inch or less groups at 25 yds.

Yes. I have a Beeman RX2 in .20 and it's capable of dime size groups at 30 yds with JSB 13.73's. most days. Oh...the trigger on mine is Incredible! ( The rifle spent some time with David Slade at Airgunwerks)

Don't let that video scare Ya!

Any HW should group extremely well. A lot has to do with form, hold, and followthrough

I had an RX-1 in .20cal and it killed hundreds of squirrels for years. It wasn't tuned down either like some of these new one's I have seen. It was 21 foot pounds with Beeman Kodiak's and Crosman Premiers. I never had a problem grouping. I was also in my 20's and would often shoot a whole tin of pellets in one shooting.

All guns wobble around like that when shown in extreme slow motion.

An HW90 detuned a bit will easily give you 1/2" at 25 yards, and you'll have plenty of power.

They can be accurate, although mine was never my most accurate springer with either .177 or .20 barrels, but in my mind, the gun doesn't really make sense. The cocking effort is disproportionately hard for the amount of power you get out of them and the gun is very heavy. I didn't have problems cocking mine as I am 6'4" and weigh 240, but I have a friend who couldn't cock it at all. (It was hilarious to watch, for what that's worth.) The trigger is very nice though.

Thanks folks, your feedback is pretty much what I anticipated given what I have read in the past about the HW90/Beeman Rx's.

I have a .20 R1 that easily put 5 shots inside 1/3 inch at 23 yds (the length of my yard) so that would be my goal for a gas ram gun of this quality.

Will continue to think about one. New input still welcome.

Kind Regards,
