My Son moved out and the wife moved her sewing and scrapbooking in to his old room. That led the way for me to move my reloading and safes upstairs to her old play room. While moving a few safes upstairs, I cleaned and oiled a few of the guns that were in them. As I was cleaning the Beeman R10, I wondered if I could hit anything with it. For the last few years all I shoot is my PCPs along with a few powder burners. But the springer just stays in the safe. I remembered a lot of the hunts that that gun went on and how it wasn’t anything to shoot a limit of critters. At 12fp it seemed pretty weak compared to the 30 and 40fe I am getting with my PCPs. But using that rifle for 30+ years and all the FT shoots we did to gather made me a better shot then any PCP I own. Anyways, I shot it across the crony and at a target tonight. Here are the results. Sure surprised me. It just seemed natural shouldering it.
Likely a pleasant reminder of why you bought it in the first place!Horsepower ain’t everything. 12 fp is good medicine, as our British brother airgunners are fond of reminding us
