This thing shoots everything well. But those JSB's sing. All shot at 20 yards. Pre safety version. Sweet little gun.

My Beeman R-7 (HW 30) raised my wife's interest in airgunning. What a pleasure to watch her shoot it. She has since learned to appreciate all of my airguns and joins me at the bench regularly. Thanks to the Beeman R-7.

Suggestions on pellets. And of course I'll try the JSB's I've got a couple tins of pellets left over from years ago. Beeman Ram Jets no weight listed on the tins says extra heavy silhouette as close as I could weigh on a powder scale they are 9.6 grains. I think that's pretty close to the heavy JSB's. Correct?

Shawn, very nice, and good shooting. Have you tried H&N FTT's. Knowing JSB's pellets being one of the best pellets out there, I find my German guns, more often than not, prefer the FTT's as the most accurate. Just saying.
What stands out in your post is that gorgeous classic stock! Looks to be well cared for. Would love to see some close up pictures.
Cheers

Well it's here scopes mounted guns sighted in. I AM HAPPY. This gun shoots one hole at the distance I was trying to get the Benjamin 392 to shoot respectably under an inch.
Yes it's more then twice money but like almost everything else you may as well go first class to start because that's how it's going to end. I'm not going to mess with guns that will not shoot.
AOA's special gun with upgraded stock, scope, mounts moderator AND shipping for $549 is worth it. Now I gotta get after the pigeons
Here is a TEN shot group at 20 yards

OK as requested pictures of the HW30 urban special as supplied by AOA. I've obviously added a flashlight/laser. The moderator just happens to be exactly an inch in diameter making the addition easy. I'll probably mount a little larger flash light to the scope as well. I also put butler creek caps on the scope. I prefer those over the screw on ones provided . I'm very happy with the rifle I just hope it's not going to need de-tuned due to roof damage. Plan to give it a try later in the week.
