Air Venturi Beeman Rifles

[Ballistik_.20]

Air Venturi is the official repair/refurb center for Beeman air rifles and their pre-owned models have the Air Venturi Warrensville, Oh. address stamped on the breech and wanted to know if these are as nice as the Beemans with the California stamp? I know they are made in Germany but wanted to know more about distribution here in the U.S. Any info appreciated.
Thanks!

They should be about the same beacuse thay are actually HW with different stock and some other minor changes (Iron sights vs. scope).  I do not own the Air Venturi stamped ones but I did notice a price drop around $20.00-$30.00 on the new production.

Cool, thanks for responding! It looks like Air Venturi is one of a few American importers of Beemans, (AoA being another) which is why some have the "Air Venturi" stamp on them. I wonder if the other exclusive importers like Airguns of Arizona put their name on the ones that they import from Germany?

Air Venturi is the wholesale division of Pyramyd Air and got the distribution rights for the higher-end Beeman (Weihrauch) guns in the U.S. after SR Industries sold out to Shanghai AG. Shanghai (conversely) holds the rights for the "Beeman" lo-end "stuff" you see at Walmart etc.

I do not believe AoA sells a lot of beemans these days but they have better selection of HW than any other dealer
