I just wanted to let you know that this video convinced me to buy the Beeman r9 and it shoots like an absolute dream thank you for you amazing reviews!
Just ordered mine today but like everything else at least a 20% higher price tag these days. None the less I was perfectly prepared to pay $560 for this quality rifle. Your video and fine shooting completely convinced me to own one..
Yes! I,m a 77 year old Ex Fleet Air Arm Armourer (When we used to defend; not attack) My Weihrauch 99s is a little brother to the Beeman R9. Brilliant in every respect!LA5 UK
I first bought a Beeman R1 back in the 1980's and unfortunately my home was broken into and all my guns were stolen ( including my beloved UZI 9mm ). After watching your review and 40 years latter I will order the latest Beeman R9 and get back into Airguns again.
Just purchased a wheihrauch 95 which is a Beeman R9 from Airguns of Arizona for 389.00 Dollars with shipping out the door.Read info on Hatsun 95, Diana air guns, and other American companys, but setteled on The Hw 95 for its craftsmanship, cost and fantastic reputation. Reviews were over the top and I love the accuracy and weight of this outstanding Rifel. Love airgun Dectectives great reviews. God Bless.
Hi all I really like the old springers, nobody has done a proper review on the RWS/Diana 350 magnum premium. I enjoy watching your thorough reviews on air rifles and would appreciate , if you have the means, a 350 review. Thanks for all your hard work and diligence in the videos!
I've just got the 95k it's a great gun takes rabbits and pheasants at 40 and yards easy had a pheasant tonight very healthy living from my 95k 👍👍 thanks for the vid 👍
One of the best air rifles you can ever own. My Buddy Mike at Flying Dragon Air Rifles, does a Free full-tune on the rifle with the purchase. If you ever decide to go that direction, give him a call, let him know I sent you and he'll take care of you.
Bought one five months ago for my retirement present, I got lucky and it has very nice figuring in the stock! Also have a mid range Hawk scope for it I havent used yet! This rifle is truly a peice of art!!!
Excellent video! By far my favourite airgun manufacturer. Over here in the UK we have Air Arms, which are absolute quality rifles and beautiful to boot, but those Weihrauch's are just so much better, in my opinion - and that Rekord trigger is just sublime.
@@AirgunDetectives I roll a 98 in .22.........Been shooting the crap out of it for almost a year now. Great gun. The adjustability was the kicker for me. I have good shoulders so I don't mind the weighted barrel shroud. Lots of invasive birds have been coyote/Fox food...
@@AirgunDetectives Holy crap!! .25!! Was it lobbing the pellets to where you could see the whole length off the pellet trajectory to the target in your scope?!?! Wow......Good call on the upgrade.....Did you go with Vortec or something different like Jim Macari spring kit? Also, are you sporting the Texas Precision Optics brand Sniper brand on that Beeman R9? I've been looking at that brand wondering if I should give them a try or go with the Vector Optics......😕 I usually run Hawke or Primary Arms. Wanting to try something different.
@@cornfields-crosshairs4182 I had Jim at Vortek put a custom spring together for me. It shoots a .25 between 600-650 depending on the weight of pellet. Extremely accurate. That added about 100 fps. About 16 FPE. It is actually one of my funnest guns. I can shoot the bottom of shotgun shells at 40 yards. The scope on the R9 is a cheap Chinese made but it is amazing. Glass etched mildot with a lit center dot. Has held zero since day one. Hard to find. I have seen them on ebay for $75.00. Really amazing scope for the price. Nsirius is the brand.
Love the R9, and it has a Lifetime warranty. I use a Williams Peep FP-AG TK Rear sight. this is a good Rear sight for this gun that will increase the Sight Radius by a Substantial Length, for me this Greatly improves the sights and sight picture of this gun. Accuracy with this Peep sight at 40 yards is very close to shooting with a scope. Love my Hw77K Gen. 2 stock.
I just didn't want to put the screws in this stock, that is why there is no bipod...great observation :) I appreciate you watching and thank you for the comments.
Grettings from Costa Rica. Very good video friend, I liked it very much. Thank you. This Beeman R-9 rifle is a wonderful air rifle, I have one in caliber .177 . Purchased 18 years ago. Besides Beeman R-1 cal .22 and Beeman Kodiak. I have enjoy many springers during all these years. Gamos, Norincas, Hatsan, Diana RWS, Crosman Benjamin and Cometa. And my favorite rifle is the Beeman R-9. it is super accurate, perfect weight, powerful, very well made, german steel, nice wood and the best trigger of the world. The rekord.
AGD thank-you for all the great info, you and your followers have given in this episode. This is so full of the best info one could ever find. Like having a good book.
I agree 100% with you. I can't find a single fault with the R9. I have the HW95 version in all three calibers. My favorite targets are one-inch lollipops set out to 60 yards. I can bust 'em easily with my HW95s. It is a joy owning such fine air rifles. Your review is excellent--concise and informative.
That rifle is such an awesome performer . I purchased one used for only 280 bucks and it's the Weirauch branded one same one . But it's an exceptional rifle.
Great videos! I recommend to investigate the Mendoza RM 3000. Is a Mexican rifle, has a very high quality anda a very good 1 pound trigger (a weird one, double bladed). Velocity is about 66 fps with 14.53 .22 pellets. Very consistent and precise. Thanks!!
how dose the .177 accuracy compare to the .22? i have a .22 and it is great. bought the combo pack. The first thing i did was throw the scope away. thank you.
Nice job on the review. Easy to watch and understand. A professional standard is appreciated. Great shooting with the gun and the cameras! Granny in the Porsche was awesome! I was preparing to roll my eyes if you were behind the wheel (some like to show off) but ended up laughing out loud at granny and her pistol!! 👊😂 Great intro to the channel! BTW......It sounded a bit pushy to direct one to the sub/bell buttons before the review had begun.....if a was a 1st time viewer how would I know if I wanted to sub and receive notifications before experiening your channel and content? I am a sub myself and fully support you. Just a little feedback from an honest fellow shooter. Looking forward to those HW98s on screen!! Thanks for sharing on your channel!👊😎
It's quiet for a rifle but a little louder than the HW45. If you decide you want a R9 call my buddy Mike at Flying Dragon Air Rifles, he can order one at the best price and then he'll do a "Full-tune" on it for FREE! Tell him I sent you and he'll take care of you😉👍
There is ONE negative that many people miss on this fine rifle. The open sights, particularly the rear, are very low. With the comb of the stock being very high, I needed to take a very unorthodox and unnatural hold in order to line it up and fire it. I finally gave in and bought a scope. I'm not much of a scope guy, but there you are. Has anyone else noticed this?
Hi Matt, I like the spring models myself if they are properly tuned and lubed. You have options to change out an upgrade those easily and relatively inexpensive. Look at the Vortek kits. I have had a few gas rams fail with no warnings, that's the downside. But, I do have quite a few models with gas rams and I like them as well. I prefer spring piston models if I had to only choose one. The R9 and the HW's are the top Breakbarrels made. Once you shoot these it is very difficult to shoot the others. Instead of purchasing some of the lower level rifles, hold off, save a few extra $ and purchase an Beeman R9. It will be worth the wait I guarantee it. This rifles are simply amazing. My buddy Mike at Flying Dragon Air Rifles can get you the R9 or any of the HW's and he included a full-tune with the price. By far the best deal out there. Tell him I sent you and he'll totally take care of you.😉👍
I’d give it 6 out of 5 stars😉. I picked one up today up here in the Netherlands, second hand but in absolute mint condition with a AGW (airgun werks) tune and a very nice trigger tune . Up here it’s called the Weihrauch HW95, same gun. Thanks again for the very good review on this very nice R9👍🏻👌🏻
@@AirgunDetectives The T06 comes close but in my opinion the rekord beats it. Correct me if i’m wrong but Weihrauch has been making the rekord trigger since the 50’s?
Excelente Video como siempre!!! Felicitaciones Amigo Airgun Detective. Cada día sus video están mejor hechos y su trabajo aquí es muy bueno y entretenido. Siga Adelante con este Hermoso Proyecto Suyo!!! Apoyo TOTAL!!! 👍😀
Had several break barrels that cost more than this one none of them even come close to the quality or performance of the r9 best hunting break barrel on the market accuracy of a pcp
hello sir detective, great video as always, i would like to know how you covered the aiming screws, and why not beep this model, here in portugal and a WEIHRAUCH HW95 LUXUS hugs.
They are a small plastic hole plug. I found them at Lowes. I am sure most hardware stores have them. Thanks for watching and I appreciate your comments!
I have this gun. In the UK it's called the Weihrauch HW95. One of the best selling Springers! Mine is the Luxus version. It came with the Moderator (muzzle) and checkering on the stock! sadly UK guns are limited to 12ft lbs which is a spoiler!
@@AirgunDetectives Right now we can't use rifles in the garden as too powerful. But I have used the Webley Alecto for plinking while we are still going through lockdown!👍
Awesome review man! Just had to ask, what scope is that in the video? The whole setup you have is wicked, and something I definitely want to have displayed somewhere in my home!
Well love you're videos. But I can't make up my mind on which rifle to get. The Beeman r9 the stealth amo3 or the sig asp20. They all have there pluses. The 95 is accurate no bipods and trigger The Diana trigger the sig wedge lock ease of cocking more power. I will be hunting small game walking through the woods. Which would you prefer for my requirements. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Hi Rod...if I could only pick one breakbarrel for hunting, plinking, and target practice, it would have to be the Sid ASP20 in .22 caliber. Although, there are no open sights, you'll have to use a scope. The Sig has plenty of power, easy to cock, not pellet picky, quiet, really nice trigger, accurate and really well built. Look for a sale. Thanks for watching. Keep me posted on what you ultimately purchase and how you like the performance. 👍😉
It's "Rek-EE-ord", like "am-bee-dex-TREE-us. ;-) It's not necessary to remove the sights since they aren't really visible in the scope. Are those see-through covers you have over the ends of your scope there when you're shooting your chrony shots? My R9 in .177 caliber chronies out to about 940 fps on average with 7.5-8 grain pellets. It turns sparrow-to-starling sized bird pests into vaporized puffs of feathers, I've heard.
Loving your reviews mate. Super professional and totally informative. Because of your reviews I decided to buy a sniper 125 Hatsan .22 as my first rifle. Are you planing on doing a Benjamin Trail XL review series? (i.e .177, .22, .25). I'm eyeing one of these up as my second.
Welcome Richard. Yes, I have a Benjamin Trail XL in .177 I will review that in the future. I appreciate you watching and thank you for the great feedback 👍
if you were to hunt squirrels and birds which break barrel or underlever would you buy without worrying about the price i know we are all different but i am looking for the all around break barrel or underlever i was looking at the R9 or the walther lgv unerlever thanks
Hi Robert, if you want a good all around rifle, the R9 in .22 cal is tough to beat. Mike at Flying Dragon Air Rifles will also include a full tune at no additional cost. Tell him Airgun Detectives sent you and he'll give you the Cadillac service. Happy New Year 👍
Hi for the muzzlebreak after removing the front sight did you have to file the grooves out? Also where can one purchase the muzzlebreak. I have an HW30s which is an R7 but wanted to know if your muzzlebreak will work. Thank you.
What would nice is you could run to Walmart and grab some crosman pellets to use as a comparison of a pellet any common guy can run in and buy everyday. It would be nice to see what it can do with some cphp,s as a baseline. Vs what you want to use next or favorite. That's any review.
They don't losen at all. I always add a little blue locktite to the stock screws but in this case I didn't need too. I checked them several times and they never loosened up. Just part of that build quality.👍
I can simply tell you...the grouping is the same. I had to play with the distance of the muzzle break on the barrel to achieve the identical grouping as without the muzzle brake. I shot numerous shots with and without. Where you place the brake does make a minor difference in grouping. I spent hours playing with it.
The R9 has less power than the Sig. The R9 is also a spring piston where the Sig has a gas piston. This is a lighter gun. This is fantastic for paper targets and plinking. That is why I have both the Sig and the R9, they are both 5 star guns. Thanks for watching!
R9/HW95 is a far superior gun. The ASP20 is impressive for what it is BUT it is no where near the level of precision of the R9.. The ASP20 is pretty much a 20ftlb gun (the 20 in ASP20) we have tested preproduction versions for SIG close to the final versions. The Sig can shoot, and it will put out 20 to 22ftlbs and do so without being so hold sensitive that new to piston gun shooters won't be able to enjoy it. The trigger on the ASP is ok but leaves a lot of be desired and the Rekord trigger is as good as it gets in springers (it's truly a match trigger) and that in its self is a huge part of this gun, then you factor in extreme tolerances, a world class barrel, 1.5 to 3 fps standard deviation (after break in).. The list goes on and on (i can just say it's designed and manufactured in Germany... That tells you it's of the highest quality and exacting tolerances ) The R9 with its pellet of choice is consistently capable of .5 to .75 inch 10 shot groups at 50y.. You talking close to high end PCP accuracy(this is out to 50y... The PCP guns are going to quickly out shoot it as the distance increases) and the Sig will never be capable of 10 shot 50y groups that are sub .75 consistently... The Sig will print 10 shot 50y groups that are in the 1.5 inch range with its preferred diet....again not taking anything away from Sig they built a solid gun for their first attempt at a high performance Springer (gas spring) and came with some solid innovation and did a pretty good job... The HW95/R9 is a 400 dollar gun, the Beech wood stocked ASP20 is 429 and the synthetic is 350... If the Sig was 300 the R9 is way more then 25% more gun for 25% more money. If the wood stocked version of the Sig (i can say 100% in the units we tested the Wood versions shoot better and was less hold sensitive. The gun benefits greatly from the wood stock) was 200 bucks then i would say well maybe the Sig is more gun for the money and that's still a maybe so that tells you just how much more gun the R9 is. If i had 500 bucks I could buy the R9 and a Hawke 3-9x40 or I could buy the wood version of the Sig for 200 and the Hawke 3-9x40 for 100 leaving me 200 left over.... I believe I would still go R9 and that would be buying the ASP20 wood version at less then half price and retail for the R9... What is your interest in the Sig? Is it the 20 -22ftlbs? Over the 17 to 18ftlbs of the R9? The more tactical looks of the sig vs more traditional R9? If it's power i can assure you that 100% of the time a 17ftlb gun that places the projectile exactly where you want it will put preform a 25ftlb gun that will place the pellet within 1.5 inches of where you want it... At 50y with a ME of 18ftlbs with JSB18.13z that will be about 10.5ftlbs on target and i can consistently put that lead within a .5 inch area that is far more effective then 25ftlbs ME with 18.13s that is 12.5ftlbs on target that will consistently be within 1.25 inch area.. Remember that couple extra ftlbs of ME is nearly nothing at 50y. The R9 will do 18ftlbs with 18.13s and the ASP20 about 21 with 18.13s so 3ftlbs more ME... At 50y that 3ftlbs more energy at the muzzle is only 1ftlb more at the target.
Right out of the box...no annoying twang. However, I did do a tune on this one and I added the muzzle break. Very, very smooth rifle!! Thank for watching!
@@greekveteran2715 if you read his comment again it says that he tuned the gun AND added the muzzle break. Even though I do understand what a muzzle brake is and where it's located I appreciate the confirmation.
Looks like a real good springer. Great review as always ... would like to purchase one of your side mounted bipods can you send me a link please.. Many thanks 👍👍👍
Thank for watching, If you haven't already, just go to my website www.airgundetecives.com and they are available for purchase. Thanks again for watching!
Love your channel but tell the lady in the Porsche to please keep her finger off the trigger until she's ready to shoot. BTW, great looking Porsche. Love the clean classic lines in basic black.
Finding one is the challenge. I put a muzzle brake on mine since I am not using the open sights. They really are pretty quiet stock. You have to remove the front sight but it's an easy process.
@@scootertrash911 wow 90 yards no kidding. My back yard range is only 50 yards but she will take down small plastic dinosaurs and little army men at that range.
Without being technical, about 1/2 the distance between two of your standard mil-dots. And that's only on a very small object. Almost no difference between 20-40 yards.
I've had a few 95s here in the UK all 22, good rifle excellent engineered as all Weihrauch's are. 95s and 97s best springers can get I'd say.
I have both
Same here Sir, no open sights for me either ... Old eyes in need of a decent scope...
I just wanted to let you know that this video convinced me to buy the Beeman r9 and it shoots like an absolute dream thank you for you amazing reviews!

This intro is the best! laughed out loud! Great review as always! Thanks!
Thank you for the review on the other airgun I had bought via email! Really appreciate it switched over to this Beeman R9😎
Great rifle!!!
Just purchased a wheihrauch 95 which is a Beeman R9 from Airguns of Arizona for 389.00 Dollars with shipping out the door.Read info on Hatsun 95, Diana air guns, and other American companys, but setteled on The Hw 95 for its craftsmanship, cost and fantastic reputation. Reviews were over the top and I love the accuracy and weight of this outstanding Rifel. Love airgun Dectectives great reviews. God Bless.
Ray...thank you for the kind comments. You will love that rifle. The trigger is off the chart as well as the accuracy. Let me know how you like it👍
Wonderful video. What kind of scope is on that rifle?
I’ve been watching these for a while now and that was the best intro yet! I didn’t see that coming
My HW85 .22 at 25yrd loves H&N FTT 5.54 at 705fps. Most of time I can group dime size with no wind. Weihrauch barrels are very accurate.
I ordered the HW50S a couple days ago in .177 caliber. Will be my first air rifle since I got a Sheridan 5mm pump up air rifle over 50 years ago.
I enjoy shooting springers Tks for review
Thanks for watching Ron!
Got a 97 made hw80 superb German engineering 👍

Nice shooting once again👍👍👍Speaking of weihrauch/beeman you did the TX200 and Walther LGU when do you put the weihrauch HW97 to the test?
I was incredibly impressed how smooth it was when you fired it. Looked like none of the "twang" you usually get from a springer.
You can't substitute the German build!! Amazing rifles!!
how dose the .177 accuracy compare to the .22? i have a .22 and it is great. bought the combo pack. The first thing i did was throw the scope away. thank you.
great video. how does it compare to a Weihrauch HW90 or HW95?
That was a good review on such a classic gun. I have the HW98 in 22 cal and love it. Keep up the good work my friend .👍
I have the HW98 in .177 and ,25. I absolutely love those guns!!
I'm kinda interested in the gamo swarm 10x gen 2 in 22 cal, gamos latest break barrel
was that scope the combo pack? or did you put a different scope on it. thank you for your time.
That was an aftermarket scope. The R9 has a minor recoil and most scopes will do well on this rifle. 👍

Where’d you get the screws to plug the rear sight?
Great review, love the gun, do you think spring is a better choice than gas piston in break barrel?,
Hi Matt,
I like the spring models myself if they are properly tuned and lubed. You have options to change out an upgrade those easily and relatively inexpensive. Look at the Vortek kits. I have had a few gas rams fail with no warnings, that's the downside. But, I do have quite a few models with gas rams and I like them as well. I prefer spring piston models if I had to only choose one. The R9 and the HW's are the top Breakbarrels made. Once you shoot these it is very difficult to shoot the others. Instead of purchasing some of the lower level rifles, hold off, save a few extra $ and purchase an Beeman R9. It will be worth the wait I guarantee it. This rifles are simply amazing. My buddy Mike at Flying Dragon Air Rifles can get you the R9 or any of the HW's and he included a full-tune with the price. By far the best deal out there. Tell him I sent you and he'll totally take care of you.😉👍
this is the best break barrel in the market
super quality and greay accurate
Couldn't agree more...one of the best break-barrels on the market. Thanks for watching!
@@AirgunDetectives ypur welcome sir
That rifle impressed me!
Good review.
Thank you for watching and I appreciate your comments 👍
I’d give it 6 out of 5 stars😉.
I picked one up today up here in the Netherlands, second hand but in absolute mint condition with a AGW (airgun werks) tune and a very nice trigger tune . Up here it’s called the Weihrauch HW95, same gun.
Thanks again for the very good review on this very nice R9👍🏻👌🏻
Sounds like you got a deal!! I don't think anyone makes a better trigger for a Breakbarrel 👍😉
@@AirgunDetectives The T06 comes close but in my opinion the rekord beats it.
Correct me if i’m wrong but Weihrauch has been making the rekord trigger since the 50’s?
Excelente Video como siempre!!! Felicitaciones Amigo Airgun Detective. Cada día sus video están mejor hechos y su trabajo aquí es muy bueno y entretenido. Siga Adelante con este Hermoso Proyecto Suyo!!! Apoyo TOTAL!!! 👍😀
Where did you get the muzzle break and what the make and model of the break?
Those are called, "Apex Muzzle Weights" and unfortunately they are no longer manufactured. I had it for several years.
Manufacturer Weihrauch Germany - Weihrauch HW95. Quality airguns, I own a Weihrauch HW 97.
What is the scope on this R9 ?
If you had to choose R9 or HW98 , what would you pick ? Ty great shooter 😎👍
Same rifle. The 98 just has a cooler stock and a heavy barrel shroud. 👍🏻😉
@@AirgunDetectives awh I know be a draw lol.. what was the scope you used ?
Had several break barrels that cost more than this one none of them even come close to the quality or performance of the r9 best hunting break barrel on the market accuracy of a pcp
hello sir detective, great video as always, i would like to know how you covered the aiming screws, and why not beep this model, here in portugal and a WEIHRAUCH HW95 LUXUS hugs.
They are a small plastic hole plug. I found them at Lowes. I am sure most hardware stores have them. Thanks for watching and I appreciate your comments!
I have this gun. In the UK it's called the Weihrauch HW95. One of the best selling Springers! Mine is the Luxus version. It came with the Moderator (muzzle) and checkering on the stock! sadly UK guns are limited to 12ft lbs which is a spoiler!
But at least you get to shoot them :) Thank you for watching and I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment. :)
@@AirgunDetectives Right now we can't use rifles in the garden as too powerful. But I have used the Webley Alecto for plinking while we are still going through lockdown!👍
It's great!!
Awesome review man! Just had to ask, what scope is that in the video? The whole setup you have is wicked, and something I definitely want to have displayed somewhere in my home!
That is an off brand, "Nsirus" I found on Ebay. It has a glass etched lit redicle. It has been holding up quite well on the R9.
What a beautiful gun and super accurate. Nice review,I have the HW50 and love it..Where did you find a muzzle brake for the R9? Looks awesome..
Thanks for watching you can check on line and search for Apex muzzle weight.
@@AirgunDetectives Thank you, have one on order ...
Is the safety ambidextrous?
Well love you're videos. But I can't make up my mind on which rifle to get. The Beeman r9 the stealth amo3 or the sig asp20. They all have there pluses. The 95 is accurate no bipods and trigger The Diana trigger the sig wedge lock ease of cocking more power. I will be hunting small game walking through the woods. Which would you prefer for my requirements. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Hi Rod...if I could only pick one breakbarrel for hunting, plinking, and target practice, it would have to be the Sid ASP20 in .22 caliber. Although, there are no open sights, you'll have to use a scope. The Sig has plenty of power, easy to cock, not pellet picky, quiet, really nice trigger, accurate and really well built. Look for a sale. Thanks for watching. Keep me posted on what you ultimately purchase and how you like the performance. 👍😉
Hey thanks for the reply. I was leaning that way. I will let you know. Will be getting the Sig soon.
Nice shooting!
Hey Leroy...Hope all is well and thanks again for watching!
It's "Rek-EE-ord", like "am-bee-dex-TREE-us. ;-) It's not necessary to remove the sights since they aren't really visible in the scope. Are those see-through covers you have over the ends of your scope there when you're shooting your chrony shots? My R9 in .177 caliber chronies out to about 940 fps on average with 7.5-8 grain pellets. It turns sparrow-to-starling sized bird pests into vaporized puffs of feathers, I've heard.
Air Gun Detectives RocK!!!!! Well Done accurate reviews!!! Happy Easter 2020 and Stay safe. PEACE!!
Ray...Thank you some much for watching and I appreciate the positive comments. Stay healthy and happy shooting 👍
Which Weihrauch rifle is this equivalent to?
Loving your reviews mate. Super professional and totally informative. Because of your reviews I decided to buy a sniper 125 Hatsan .22 as my first rifle. Are you planing on doing a Benjamin Trail XL review series? (i.e .177, .22, .25). I'm eyeing one of these up as my second.
Welcome Richard. Yes, I have a Benjamin Trail XL in .177 I will review that in the future. I appreciate you watching and thank you for the great feedback 👍
if you were to hunt squirrels and birds which break barrel or underlever would you buy without worrying about the price i know we are all different but i am looking for the all around break barrel or underlever i was looking at the R9 or the walther lgv unerlever thanks
Hi Robert, if you want a good all around rifle, the R9 in .22 cal is tough to beat. Mike at Flying Dragon Air Rifles will also include a full tune at no additional cost. Tell him Airgun Detectives sent you and he'll give you the Cadillac service. Happy New Year 👍
The fpe at 40yds would be interesting to see
At 40 yards it still has plenty.
Hi for the muzzlebreak after removing the front sight did you have to file the grooves out? Also where can one purchase the muzzlebreak. I have an HW30s which is an R7 but wanted to know if your muzzlebreak will work. Thank you.
This is where I purchased it but I don't think he carries them anymore. www.airrifleheadquarters.com/catalog/item/1205004/692734.htm
@@AirgunDetectives Thank you for your replied. Yup I checked before and they don't carry them anymore.
Please,what's the European version of this rifle, HW 95 "LUXUS" or the HW 95 "Deluxe"? Thanks in advance
just got my hw80 in today looks like they set the cross hairs at 20 yards how many yard would you have set it at?
20-25 yards is a good distance 👌
thank you
Awesome gun awesome shooting!!!!
As always..Thanks for watching and I appreciate your comments!
Can u add silencer for beeman r9?
What would nice is you could run to Walmart and grab some crosman pellets to use as a comparison of a pellet any common guy can run in and buy everyday. It would be nice to see what it can do with some cphp,s as a baseline. Vs what you want to use next or favorite. That's any review.
Would you recommend it in .177 or .22 ??
Very impressive gun great review keep up the great work
As always...Thank you for watching and i appreciate your comments!
After how man shots will u have to tighten the stock screws do u think and which screws will u need to tighten
They don't losen at all. I always add a little blue locktite to the stock screws but in this case I didn't need too. I checked them several times and they never loosened up. Just part of that build quality.👍
Would it be possible for u to shoot a group with out the muzzle brake so we can the difference
I can simply tell you...the grouping is the same. I had to play with the distance of the muzzle break on the barrel to achieve the identical grouping as without the muzzle brake. I shot numerous shots with and without. Where you place the brake does make a minor difference in grouping. I spent hours playing with it.
Can't go wrong with a beeman! It's funny i uploaded my Beeman P17 video today also
I will check that out!! Thanks for watching and I appreciate the comments!
How does this compare to the sig asp20?
The R9 has less power than the Sig. The R9 is also a spring piston where the Sig has a gas piston. This is a lighter gun. This is fantastic for paper targets and plinking. That is why I have both the Sig and the R9, they are both 5 star guns. Thanks for watching!
R9/HW95 is a far superior gun. The ASP20 is impressive for what it is BUT it is no where near the level of precision of the R9.. The ASP20 is pretty much a 20ftlb gun (the 20 in ASP20) we have tested preproduction versions for SIG close to the final versions.
The Sig can shoot, and it will put out 20 to 22ftlbs and do so without being so hold sensitive that new to piston gun shooters won't be able to enjoy it.
The trigger on the ASP is ok but leaves a lot of be desired and the Rekord trigger is as good as it gets in springers (it's truly a match trigger) and that in its self is a huge part of this gun, then you factor in extreme tolerances, a world class barrel, 1.5 to 3 fps standard deviation (after break in).. The list goes on and on (i can just say it's designed and manufactured in Germany... That tells you it's of the highest quality and exacting tolerances )
The R9 with its pellet of choice is consistently capable of .5 to .75 inch 10 shot groups at 50y.. You talking close to high end PCP accuracy(this is out to 50y... The PCP guns are going to quickly out shoot it as the distance increases) and the Sig will never be capable of 10 shot 50y groups that are sub .75 consistently... The Sig will print 10 shot 50y groups that are in the 1.5 inch range with its preferred diet....again not taking anything away from Sig they built a solid gun for their first attempt at a high performance Springer (gas spring) and came with some solid innovation and did a pretty good job... The HW95/R9 is a 400 dollar gun, the Beech wood stocked ASP20 is 429 and the synthetic is 350... If the Sig was 300 the R9 is way more then 25% more gun for 25% more money. If the wood stocked version of the Sig (i can say 100% in the units we tested the Wood versions shoot better and was less hold sensitive. The gun benefits greatly from the wood stock) was 200 bucks then i would say well maybe the Sig is more gun for the money and that's still a maybe so that tells you just how much more gun the R9 is.
If i had 500 bucks I could buy the R9 and a Hawke 3-9x40 or I could buy the wood version of the Sig for 200 and the Hawke 3-9x40 for 100 leaving me 200 left over.... I believe I would still go R9 and that would be buying the ASP20 wood version at less then half price and retail for the R9...
What is your interest in the Sig? Is it the 20 -22ftlbs? Over the 17 to 18ftlbs of the R9? The more tactical looks of the sig vs more traditional R9? If it's power i can assure you that 100% of the time a 17ftlb gun that places the projectile exactly where you want it will put preform a 25ftlb gun that will place the pellet within 1.5 inches of where you want it... At 50y with a ME of 18ftlbs with JSB18.13z that will be about 10.5ftlbs on target and i can consistently put that lead within a .5 inch area that is far more effective then 25ftlbs ME with 18.13s that is 12.5ftlbs on target that will consistently be within 1.25 inch area.. Remember that couple extra ftlbs of ME is nearly nothing at 50y. The R9 will do 18ftlbs with 18.13s and the ASP20 about 21 with 18.13s so 3ftlbs more ME... At 50y that 3ftlbs more energy at the muzzle is only 1ftlb more at the target.
What scope mount are you using?
That is a basic one-piece 11mm dovetail, high-rise with 1" rings. Very inexpensive on ebay.
Love your videos! does your rifle has been tuned? is the twang to loud?
Right out of the box...no annoying twang. However, I did do a tune on this one and I added the muzzle break. Very, very smooth rifle!! Thank for watching!
@@AirgunDetectives what sort of tune did you perform on this R9?
@@cornfields-crosshairs4182 He added the muzzle break. it's that thing on the end of the barrel, that looks like a sillencer
@@greekveteran2715 if you read his comment again it says that he tuned the gun AND added the muzzle break. Even though I do understand what a muzzle brake is and where it's located I appreciate the confirmation.
@@cornfields-crosshairs4182 My bad then, sorry mate
What if you guys make a video about homemade PCP rifles...it will be a good one... because your knowledge...
I know the video is a couple of years old... but FYI, the click on the "I" in the corner is not working...
Looks like a real good springer. Great review as always ... would like to purchase one of your side mounted bipods can you send me a link please.. Many thanks 👍👍👍
Thank for watching, If you haven't already, just go to my website www.airgundetecives.com and they are available for purchase. Thanks again for watching!
@@AirgunDetectives will do thanks again.. 👍👍👍👍
Love your channel but tell the lady in the Porsche to please keep her finger off the trigger until she's ready to shoot. BTW, great looking Porsche. Love the clean classic lines in basic black.
You know...I tell her that all the time but she just doesn't listen!!! Thanks for watching!
where did you get the muzzle brake from?
its called "apex muzzle weight", although I don't know much else about it.
I have a Underlever .177
Granny needs to get her finger off that damn trigger lol she’s about to have a sun roof
Would this take a fox??How far?
how hard is it to put a suppressor on it?
Finding one is the challenge. I put a muzzle brake on mine since I am not using the open sights. They really are pretty quiet stock. You have to remove the front sight but it's an easy process.
What state do you live in? Id like to move there.
San Diego. The politics in the state are horrific but the weather is amazing.
I have the r9 in .177 I bought in 1995 and it was almost 400.00 even back then
Great investment 👌
I have a .177 also, hitting small medicine bottles no problem at 90 yards.
@@scootertrash911 wow 90 yards no kidding. My back yard range is only 50 yards but she will take down small plastic dinosaurs and little army men at that range.
The Beeman Precision guns are made by Weihrauch and imported by Air Venturi.
How much overhold at 40 yds??
Without being technical, about 1/2 the distance between two of your standard mil-dots. And that's only on a very small object. Almost no difference between 20-40 yards.
