Beeman RX 2 Elite Air Rifle Pellet Gun uses a "gas spring" for its powerplant. What is a "gas spring" you ask? Imagine an air filled shock absorber in place of a conventional metal mainspring, and you have the insides of the RX-2 in your mind.
The RX 2 Air Rifle is cocked like any other barrel cocking airgun, but the single cocking stroke compresses a cylinder of air instead of a steel mainspring. When the trigger is pulled the compressed air expands and drives the piston forward. Unlike a pneumatic or CO2 airgun, the sealed air is never expended. And unlike a steel mainspring, a "gas spring" cannot take a set, or tire with age.
Due to the extremely short lock time (the time it takes the pellet to exit the barrel from when the trigger was pulled), this air rifle can have have a pronounced jolt during firing; the short lock time, however, aids in field accuracy as there is less time for the shooter to "pull" off the target.
The classy laminated stock has the famous Beeman long forearm for grace and functionality. The rifle is trimmed with a rubber butt pad, grip cap, and the traditional white line spacers. The trigger is crisp, predictable. The automatic safety is located at the front of the cast metal trigger guard. Single Shot Adult
