Need Information On.......
« on: July 19, 2004, 10:30:35 AM »
I am looking for any information on an air rifle.  It is a Beeman Dual Magnum and in checking the Beeman web site I could find nothing about it.  Made by Theoben, it is a .22 caliber, gas strut underlever system single shot.  It is supposed to be a dual powered rifle.  It has two power levels operated by the cocking arm.  The loading port pops up when you cock the rifle and is a dull gold color.  Stock is a great looking piece of wood, walnut by the looks of it.  It comes with a Beeman Bushnell(it says Beeman/Bushnell on the side of the scope) 6-18x 40mm scope, Beeman 5030 mounts and scope block(owner said it came that way).  From the times I shot it, it is a powerful, accurate, beautiful rifle.  I have sent e-mails to both Beeman and Theoben for information but have heard nothing so far.

What I would like to know is what year(s) was this rifle made and why it was discontinued?  Lawdog

I don't know the exact dates but if  memory serves, they were discontinued about a year ago. I believe they were only made for about 2 years.
 High cost, almost zero profit margin, and limited market (powder burnin' U.S.) did them in.
 try www.theoben.co.uk/ or www.straghtshooters.com (excellent airgun forum)
