I apologize if this is a dumb question, but beyond the slight difference in price between these two, is there a compelling reason to choose one versus the other? (assuming I'm looking at a 0.22 cal in each)
HW95L Field Pro vs. Beeman R9 Elite Combo
- Thread starter hokiez
- Start date
The Field Pro has a better scope and a muzzle brake. I would get the Field Pro as it is a better deal.

If you ever want to use open sights then the Beeman is the one to get. The field pro is not drilled and tapped for the rear sight. I like the field pro myself it looks awesome and I don’t use open sights. Jasmlowe is right about the scope. It’s really an amazing scope for a bundled scope.

I've had my HW95L Field Pro in .22 cal for over 3 years now and have been shooting it alot. It still has the same scope and mounts on it that it came bundled with. It's the last air gun I would ever get rid off.
I don't have a Beeman but it's still an HW95 so you can't go wrong. It really comes down to which stock you like the best and as already mentioned above the Beeman has iron sights.

Well the Beeman R-9 comes with the Air Ventari life time warranty (original owner).I bought 1 from Flying Dragons-Mike Melick a couple weeks ago(22 cal) $450. They r nice, no doubt about it. There's no BOING spring noise,lol. Really Really smooth out of the box.And Steve of AOAC once described the way a rifle cocked with a word,,shhnick !! I think that applies with this rifle too. Steve of AOAC had a video out reviewing the R-9 and gets answers concerning the Beeman R-9 and the Weihrauch 95. U should check it out. I've been breaking mine in with some fodder I have on the shelf but it has done well with all 3 H&N FTT(5.3mm / 5.4mm / 5.5mm) Ranges from 25yds to 67yds. Not too pellet fussy. The Rekord trigger makes me look good,lol.It really is a nice air rifle.I like having open sights (and these r nice) as a fall back if I were to have scope failure. But I would really need a set of Williams Peep Sights to be honest. I put a 2 -7 X 32 AirMax Hawke scope on mine.Despite my obsession with practicality over looks I feel I would be more accurate with a larger 3 - 9 X 40 AirMax Hawke since this rifle can effectively,accurately score hits out to 67yds. That's my maximum,comfortable(from my patio) range.
