Joining the Beeman Brigade

Post by GriMo »

Well ladies and gents today i had to pick up some PTA's and figured id call into bankstown gunshop on the way home. I noticed they had a Beeman .117 AR advertised on there site so i figured id take a squiz while i was there. As it stands it was a nice little R9, not in great condition but perfectly suited to having a bit of a plink with. So as of today, i'm the proud new owner ( well, when the PTA comes in) of a Beeman airgun, all for the princely sum of $150...


Lewis, when Keith sends his up i might send its little brother for a few trick bits. Bring on the plinking

$150 :shock: got to love the R9 well I love mine in .20, the Mynah's love it too and the wabbits are going to learn to enjoy it this weekend if all goes well.

Good stuff

Certainly knows to pay your firearms ( Or Air Arms in this case) better then the place your buying it from. I dont profess to know a heap about airbus but i know its worth a wee bit more then $150

nice choice, I have the same on the .20 R9 they are a nice scope and suit the AR nicely I think.

I find lewis has that effect on you doesn't he but its always worth it.
