Mid Tier Chinese Beeman

[mlmckiver394]

Does anyone have any experience with the mid level Beeman rifles such as the Mach 12.5? If so what is to be expected as far as build quality, power and accuracy? I am not really interested in the Walmart Beeman rifles, but have read some very good reviews of the Mach 12.5, SliverSting and I think possibly the Teton?

Beeman Chinese air rifles such as the Mach 12.5 has the same power plant as the AR2000 or the Tech Force Jet.  Which is more into the magnum spring air rifles with an adjustable trigger.  The Teton has a fixed non adjustable trigger.  The Sliver Sting not sure what it is. 

You may do a search in the GTA on the Jet if interested in past posts.  I think there are a few on the Mach 12.5 also. Hope that helps.

Yeah, the Mach12.5 and Jet are the same rifle, pretty much just a different stock. I believe a couple other differences are fiber optic sights for the Jet and none for the Beeman. I know the build quality on the Jet is surprisingly good. Very solid and good fit and finish. The barrel lockup on the Jet is very good, and the trigger is nice as well.

Since my intitial review of the Jet I've done some work and got it putting out 29 fpe.

I'm looking at getting a Mach 12.5 as soon as the funds are available.
