Beeman 2016S on Amazon $72.93

I just ran across this on Amazon, I know it's kind of a weird air rifle, but I still picked one up, the price was great for this rifle. They have 3 left at that price. They also are listing 2 more of them at $188 & $202, so $73 sounds like a good plan to me.
Just FYI

Just for those who might ask:


Make sure to read the customer reviews.   There were only 2 of them when I looked...

Here is Hardairmagazine.com's take on this model...
https://hardairmagazine.com/reviews/dual-beeman-model-2016s-first-shots/

As far as I know, HAM did not do any follow up articles on the .177/.22 model, although they had said they would.   I searched their site...

Perhaps the dual caliber model never made it to market?   I would not be surprised.

I would only buy this AG as a novelty and hope that it would go up in value as something of a "one off" type of thing.   Then again I am too old to wait THAT long!  (chuckle)

However, as an INVESTMENT in odd AG/fire arms, it just might be one of those items that DOES rise in value because so few of them will sell.   
Just be aware that it may be your Grand or Great Grand children who are able to reap the reward.   Not you.  (smile)

Of course, all of this is Just My Humble Opinion (JMHO)... (grin)

It looks like both barrels MUST be fired each time.
I wish it only fired 1 barrel and the shooter could SELECT which barrel fired.
This has been done with firearms.   Example: the Savage rifle with a 22 LR barrel over a 410 shotgun barrel.

Now $69!  I have a lot of weird stuff but this may be at the top of the list.

It is one of those things that probably WILL be worth a LOT more somewhere down the road as an investment in odd, eccentric AG's.

However, for actual shooting?   Not.

Correct, the 2016S both barrels shoot at the same time only and both are .177.

I have the 2016W. It has a valve so you can shoot the barrels one at a time. The top barrel is .22, the bottom .177. Come with a scope. In the amazon ad you'll see the 2016W below the main ad for $173. It come with an "L" shaped open sight. Flip it up or down and zero for either barrel. It comes with the valve to shoot both barrels installed. The other valve is in the box you have to install to shoot the barrels independently. I have a mild scope on it zeroed for the .177 barrel and use the mildots for the .22.
