The back story: girlfriend saw me looking at a Beeman R7 .20 on PA a year or so back and asked if I wanted one. Said yep, someday. For our 2 year anniversary, she handed me a card and inside was money with a handwritten note to say she wanted to get it for me and would add until there was enough. Fast forward a couple months when I spotted one on Ebay. She asked if it was the same rifle and I said yeah, but it's an auction, I'll hafta bid and she grinned and said go for it. Last day of the auction, we sat watching and when my bid got beat, she says that ain't right, get out of that chair, this guy is about to lose.
I learned a couple things that day, 1: she can cuss as good as any sailor, I know, I was one and 2: she hates losing...lol. When the dust settled, she won and a week later, I took delivery of a new to me Huntington Beach Beeman R7 .20 caliber.

Ran 4 different pellets over the chrony in 10 shot strings:
-H&N FTT's: Average 554, ES 11, SD 3, 7.78 fpe
-JSB Exact: Average 497, ES 20, SD 6, 7.53 fpe
-H&N Spitzkugel: Average 585, ES 21, SD 6, 8.33 fpe
-Predator Polymags: Average 488, ES 17, SD 5, 6.88 fpe

Already knew I was going to scope it, my eyes just don't see well enough for open sights and it now wears a Hawke Airmax 3-9x40 AO scope that as far as I'm concerned is perfect for it and after getting it dialed in at 20 yards, shot 2-5 shot groups with the FTT's and 2-5 shot groups with the JSB's. FTT's are the top 2 targets, the JSB's are the bottom 2 targets. It's also already been blooded after a four legged grey rat wandered in to my shooting range and was dumb enough to stay but not a pic I can post here.
