Title: Beeman 1380
Post by: Hoosier Daddy on February 10, 2021, 06:53:42 PM

 I have been waiting for this gun to be released since it's debut at Shot-Show 2020. LINKY (https://hardairmagazine.com/news/new-beeman-competition-pcp-air-rifle-announced-at-2020-shot-show/)
 Back then the expected release date was January 2021.

Now it is STILL unreleased. I am sure Covid19 in China REALLY slowed things down. But on a good note the price has already dropped $200. https://www.pyramydair.com/product/beeman-1380-pcp-competition-air-rifle?m=5190 (https://www.pyramydair.com/product/beeman-1380-pcp-competition-air-rifle?m=5190)

I suddenly find myself on the "cutting edge" of new model guns. "Guinea Pig" if you will, or maybe a Test Dummy .... but if it helps others in their choice in the futere, I am all in.... with the 10M accuracy of my Beeman (SAG) AR2078-B    I WANT THIS GUN!!!

Wow Scott! I missed that, it looks great. I like the mix of wood and metal. My interests have veered more towards 10 meter guns in the last year or so, so I’d love to see Beeman come out with something like this. $799 is out of my reach, but the more target guns out there the more interest could be stirred. Thanks for sharing.

I think its a great looking rifle but my concern would be the barrels accuracy. Is Beeman making the barrels?

According the the Shot Show video I attached earlier... Yes.

Have been looking at this rifle for a while..... have been calling pyramid air every few months bugging them about this!

For what it is suppose to be, for the price it doesn't seem bad.  Considering the other options out there.... this doesn't look bad for a "starter gun"


The one thing that looks concerning is the trigger....looks like plastic
