HW/Beeman question?

[Oldgringo]

I have seen it said that the Beeman R7 and the HW30s Deluxe are the same rifle.  Why is that?   

If that is so, I reckon I should order one from whomever has them available, yes?

Greg - once upon a time Beeman had sole right to import Weihrauch airguns.  Such is no longer the case.  There may be minor differences but the guns are essentially the same.  I think Beeman still carries a lifetime warranty.  Weihrauch is one year.  On the flip side, Weihrauch is generally a bit less expensive.

Thanks, I like the muzzle brake on the R7.  I put one on my HW50s.

PA website indicates it'll be June before they'll have any R 7's  in .177 caliber in stock and they apparently don't carry the HW 30s Deluxe.  AoA appears to have the HW30s, I reckon I'll just have to 'cool my jets' for awhile if I want a R 7.

I ordered my HW30s Deluxe from AOA.

I ordered my HW30s Deluxe from AOA.

I know.  That worked out alright for you with packaging, delivery and service, etc.?

[oldwolf]

I am happy with AoA’s performance. I liked how they test fired the gun before mailing it to me and included the chrono sheet with it. I will order from them again, if they carry the brand that is. I’d like an AirArms but they don’t list them on their website.

I was also happy with AOA. I ordered 3 rifles from them that PA doesn't carry.

Here they are.  The R7 has a gold trigger and adjustment screw, the HW30S is silver.  The fore ends of the stock are cut differently.  Other than that, in your hands, shooting them they're identical except for the optics.  I'm enjoying these two so much that I've thinned a few old friends out of my safe and have over $1K in the fun-gun-fund to shop for my next Beeman/Weihrauch.  I've promised to wait until spring actually gets here and this d&#@ snow goes away.

Go get one.  You'll love it!!!!!!!!!!!.............the Mailman

I ordered my Diana 56TH from AOA and nary a issue.  A little slower than I had liked but they are a brick and mortar shop that caters to folks coming off the street whereas PA is more a online retailer from what I have seen.  That said, PA is always my go to and if they don't have or carry what I need I start meandering out to find it.  Plus PA has one of the best customer service in the business in my opinion!

But I would not be afraid to do business again with AOA for sure.

My R7 came from PA, the HW30S was from AoA.  No problem with either one.  At AoA I worked with Jared @ ext. 5105.  Really nice guy.  Great CS...................the Mailman

A funding transaction  is supposed to take place this afternoon.  Once that deal is completed, we'll see who has what and when on Monday.

Four hours later and the deal is done.  The search for a R 7 can get serious now. 

[mailman]

I just finalized a previously started funding transaction.  I like that choice of words.  I'm still waiting for the snow to melt, but in the meantime I'm gonna shop my butt off.  Hope you find your R7 really soon.  Otherwise I'll feel guilty shooting mine.................or maybe not!!!!!!!!!!!!.............the Mailman

I just noticed your signature inventory.  How do you like your Avanti 853 w/ Simmons .22 Mag 3-9? 

I have one of each that have not been introduced to each other.  I expect to pick up another 853 the end of this month and just might scope it but, then again.....I might not.

It's now wearing an old Tasco 4x16x40AO and if it weren't for the trigger could probably shoot as well as it's German cousins.  I think an archery acquaintance of mine has one that he has tweaked into a serious tack driver.  I've been meaning to give him a call to see if he knows any magic tricks he can help me with.  I got mine NIB from PA when they had a sale going on.  No regrets, it's a shooter....................the Mailman

Mine is a 'used' CMP refurbished model and I love it for what it is.  The trigger is not as light as my CZ 452 triggers but, I have no complaints.

The one I'm about to acquire is an older (1994?) NIB Daisy Avanti 853.  I may have to (probably) do a lube tune/trigger job on it as well as Tru-Oil the stock.
