Don't know anything about the beeman but seemed like a descent deal for a inexpensive dual caliber scope combo

    They don't show a price on these, but I noticed a few weeks before that my local WM (in Hilo Hawaii) showed some in stock and they were around $85 it seems to me.

I just checked one of my local Walmarts for this dual caliber air rifle. Shelf price matched web price of $76. Length listed as 42.7" with 1000 fps 177 ALLOY pellets and 830 fps 22 ALLOY pellets. Lead pellets will probably fly 760fps/580fps (177/22). That's an ESTIMATE only, NOT measured.

Did not attempt to unbox and handle the rifle in the store, but I am 99% certain this is meant to be a "youth size" break-barrel springer. For anyone wanting a lower power, lighter, and easier to cock springer with TWO interchangeable barrels AND a scope w/mounts, this MAY be a good choice.  I have one youth sized springer (Hatsan Alpha Harvest Moon Camo) and I'm KEEPING it for ME! Quiet and super easy/fun to shoot.

This Beeman has a little more fpe, but it should also be a good backyard plinker.

Am tempted to buy one to see how good (or bad) the trigger is, but need to cut back on play item expenses until a new job starts.

Betting this will not sell well at Walmart being next to "1300fps GAMO" rifles. I'll gamble and wait awhile until it goes on Rollback clearance for $40, then scoop up one for myself and maybe a second one as a gift.

    It looks like maybe a new platform for Beeman air rifles. Here's a few more:

    This one has satin nickle plated barrel and receiver, which I like, but also a ported barrel.

    And this next one with blued finish and wood stock. These two are given a 495 fps velocities.

    Beeman's website has been down for at least a few days, so I can't find anything on these guns other than the info at WM.
