beeman break barrel

[patterdaddy 0]

I have a beeman .177 break barrel and I've banked my rear sight all the way up and I'm still shooting to low.... has anybody ran into this and what did you do? I mean for short money I can put a scope on it but I really like using iron sights.....

Hi Buddy,

 

What model is it? and what range are you using it at?

 

Phantom

I have the r-7 I'm using it between 125' - 150' maybe 40 meters or so damn.... sometimes being a typical American who doesn't know how to convert us standard measurements to metric makes me feel real dumb... I also don't have a calculator but lets just say about 40 meters....

Hi again,

 

The Beeman R-7 is actually a Weihrauch HW30 Rifle

The Beeman ones are running at about 7 foot pounds, so I would suggest that you reduce your range.

 

I shoot various rifles and sadly in the UK we are limited to a max of 12 foot pounds before we require a Fire Arms Permit

Most UK air gunners will not shoot past 35 yards due to the pellet drop and hold over required to do so and thats with a 10-11.5 foot pound rifle with a telescopic sight.

If you add a telescopic sight to the rifle, you would be able to adjust further and bring the POI closer to the bull.

But with open/iron sights your gonna have to do some serious hold over in order to bring the POI to the bull at that range. Most shooters that I know of wouldn't shoot an open/iron sighted springer beyond 20 yards:no:

 

Let us know if any of us can be of further assistance to you:thumbs:.
