Trigger Pull: The trigger on the Beeman Longhorn II 10611 .177 .22 Break Barrel Pellet Rifle is single action only requiring you to break the barrel and compress the internal spring piston before you can shoot it. This will also engage the safety which you have to disengage for each shot manually as an added safety measure. The actual trigger pull is pretty good overall. There is very little take-up but the creep is on the longer side but very smooth not requiring too much pressure. The release is also smooth but will take a bit of time to learn just exactly when it is going to release. There is an adjustment screw for the trigger but it is not advertised or explained in the manual exactly how this effects the trigger pull so a bit of trial and error may improve the trigger feel.

Accuracy: Starting with the velocity for the Beeman Longhorn II 10611 .177 .22 Break Barrel Pellet Rifle Combo, Beeman claims up to 495 fps but does not say weather thesis for the .22 or .177 caliber barrel? We placed 5 rounds through our Chronograph using the .22 Caliber barrel option and was able to average 432 fps using 14.3 grain lead pellets which gave us an energy of 5.93 foot pounds. We would say it is safe to say that you can hit close to the claimed velocity of 495 fps with .22 Caliber lead pellets but would need to be using a bit light grain pellets closer to around 10 or 11 grain. The .177 caliber pellets are even lighter and will have an even higher velocity most likely be over 500 fps. In terms of power we did notice that the spring does seem ot be fairly strong so we are hoping to get close to the claimed 495 fps even using .22 caliber heavier grain pellets.

Build Quality: The Beeman Longhorn II 10611 .177 .22 Break Barrel Pellet Rifle is a China made Air Rifle but looks to be well made. It is mostly metal other than the synthetic modern stock, even the iron fiber optic sights are full metal front and back.We are not a big fan of the stock texture patter but it does work to add extra grip.

Realism: The Beeman Longhorn II 10611 .177 .22 Break Barrel Pellet Rifle is not a copy of any real steel gun in production but does have that overall rifle shape to it so yet it looks like a gun but most people will be able to immediately see that it is a Pellet Rifle and that is exactly what it is since it is not trying to be anything other than that.

Pros:

• Comes with two barrels for .177 and .22 caliber pellets.
• Comes with included 4x32 scope and ring mounts.
• Durable synthetic stock with modern look and pistol grip.
• Can also shoot using included iron metal fiber optic adjustable sights.

• Rated at 495 fps using .22 caliber pellets so top out at max Canada legal power without a firearms license.
• Nice rubber butt-pad looks good and adds to shooting comfort.
• Has a scope stop so your scope will stay nicely in place.
• Really well priced for what you get which is two rifles one.

Cons:

• Changing out barrels does require tools.
• Not a big fan of the stock texturing pattern.
• Made in China.
