Getting a Beeman RX-2 in 22 cal. to compliment my R1! My shooting buddy thinks I am crazy! lol. I have collected a number of "burners" over the years, only to find I rarely fire them.

I put up my Sig 220 & S&W 586 up for sale today. I fired each of then an average of twice a year, great firearms, but I hardly ever use them. The guy at the shop said they will sell quickly. In the meantime, I did order my RX-2, along with a BSA 2-7 scope Best Bob   Posted: Sat Jun 13, 2009 7:44 pm sniper Silver Status Member Joined: 28 Nov 2008 Posts: 3752 Location: Star, Idaho rethink that scope! that rifle is a scope killer!!! i think i fired my FN 7 years ago. almost 2 years since my HK was dirty. _________________ I believe in gun control, If there's a gun around I want to be controlling it.......   Posted: Sat Jun 13, 2009 8:28 pm Pelletgun Nut Member Joined: 28 May 2009 Posts: 22 Location: San Francisco area My "burners" are quite clean...lol... Re. that scope...I have a simlar BSA on my R1, so far so good. Will be using a 2 piece Beeman mount with a scope stop stud. The scope is AR rated and supposed to be Shock Proof. Well see!

Powder and/or air. When you have too many guns you either don't get enough practice with them all, or select a few and shoot them frequently (leaving the rest behind). Since you aren't proficient with all of your weapons, what use are they? _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

But I can't be a hypocrit, powder burners are cool too and definitely have their place. _________________ I done been assisted by the trees and rivers.

There was a time when I would bring several guns to the range. Now, I generally bring one. I am able to learn more with my alloted time, rather then shooting several. The RX-2 has the advantage of being able to stay cocked in the hunting field, vs. the R1. Not sure thats a big deal. Fritz, your making me think twice about it. My R1 is already "smoothing" out with a few hundred pellets through it.
