How to Adjust an R9

The Model R9 is one of a series of classic .177 caliber German-made air rifles imported by Beeman Precision Airguns for nearly 40 years. With a muzzle velocity of 930 feet per second and a maximum range of 450 yards, this is not a toy but a powerful target shooter for adults or minors with adult supervision. The R9's break-barrel cocking action and single shot design are time-tested, and the sweeping hardwood stock is both elegant and ergonomic. The R9 offers adjustments for both trigger pull and sights to suit personal taste and shooting requirements.

      Take the rifle to a shooting range or some location with at least 50 yards of open distance for shooting. Post a paper target with a bull's-eye suitable for small-caliber rifle practice.

      Aim carefully and fire a group of three shots at the bull's-eye. Examine the points of impact on the target.

    • 3

      Move the point of impact up or down by turning the elevation knob on top of the rear sight. Turn the elevation knob clockwise to lower the point of impact. Turn the elevation knob counterclockwise to raise the point of impact.

    • 4

      Move the point of impact left or right by turning the windage knob on the side of the rear sight. Turn the windage knob clockwise to move the point of impact to the left, and turn the knob counterclockwise to move the point of impact to the right.

      Aim carefully and fire another group of three shots at the bull's-eye. Evaluate the results. If necessary, repeat the adjustment process until the points of impact are closely grouped on the bull's-eye.
