This remarkable air rifle is engineered to meet the demands of discerning shooters, whether for target practice, pest control, or simply enjoying the quiet satisfaction of backyard plinking.

The Beeman Chief II is a standout choice for anyone prioritizing precision, consistency, and a quiet shooting experience. Its advanced PCP power plant ensures a consistent shot-to-shot velocity, critical for accuracy, while its integrated sound suppressor makes it an ideal option for environments where noise reduction is appreciated. Available at DEGuns, this air rifle represents an intelligent investment for both seasoned shooters and those just beginning their journey into high-performance airgunning.

Why Choose a Pre-Charged Pneumatic (PCP) Air Rifle?

One of the most common questions new airgunners ask is, "What's the best type of air rifle for accuracy and power?" For many, the answer lies in PCP technology, and the Beeman Chief II exemplifies its benefits. Unlike traditional spring-piston or gas-piston airguns that rely on a spring or gas ram being compressed and released, PCP air rifles utilize a reservoir of highly compressed air. This design offers several significant advantages:

• Superior Accuracy: Without the violent recoil and vibration inherent in spring-driven systems, PCP air rifles like the Chief II are inherently more accurate. The shot cycle is incredibly smooth, minimizing movement and allowing for tighter groupings.
• Consistent Power: Each shot benefits from a consistent air pressure release, leading to highly uniform velocities. This consistency is paramount for predictable pellet trajectories and precise shot placement, especially at varying distances.
• Reduced Recoil: The absence of a large spring or piston slamming forward means minimal felt recoil. This makes the Chief II more comfortable to shoot, reduces fatigue during extended shooting sessions, and makes it easier for shooters of all experience levels to maintain a steady aim.
• Quieter Operation: The Chief II, like many PCPs, operates with significantly less mechanical noise than spring-powered rifles. When combined with its integrated sound suppressor, the result is an incredibly quiet firing cycle, perfect for backyard use without disturbing neighbors or for discreet pest control.
• Multi-Shot Capability: The Chief II comes equipped with a multi-shot magazine, allowing for rapid follow-up shots without the need to break the barrel or cock a lever after each shot. This is a considerable advantage for quick target acquisition or when dealing with multiple pests.

Key Features and What They Mean for Your Shooting Experience

The Beeman 1327 Chief II is meticulously designed with features that directly translate into a superior shooting experience.

European Hardwood Stock: A Blend of Beauty and Ergonomics

The first thing you'll likely notice about the Chief II is its stunning European hardwood stock. This isn't just about aesthetics; it contributes significantly to the rifle's feel and performance.

• Classic Appeal: The rich grain and finish of the European hardwood give the Chief II a timeless, elegant look that stands apart from synthetic alternatives.
• Enhanced Grip and Comfort: Wood stocks often provide a more natural, warm feel in the hands, promoting a comfortable and stable grip for improved control and aiming.
• Durability: Properly maintained hardwood stocks are incredibly durable and can withstand years of use, developing a unique patina over time that tells its own story.
• Balance: The weight distribution of a well-crafted wood stock can contribute to the overall balance of the rifle, making it feel more natural and intuitive to shoulder and aim.

Integrated Sound Suppressor: For Quiet Confidence

One of the most practical features of the Beeman Chief II is its barrel-integrated noise suppressor. This often-underestimated component drastically reduces the muzzle report, offering multiple benefits:

• Backyard Friendly: Enjoy shooting in your backyard without causing disturbance, making it ideal for casual plinking or target practice in residential areas.
• Discreet Pest Control: For those using the .177 caliber for ethical small pest control, the quiet operation helps prevent startling other animals or drawing undue attention.
• Enhanced Focus: A quieter rifle means less flinching and more focus on your technique, leading to better accuracy and a more enjoyable shooting session.

Fiber Optic Sights: Bright, Clear, and Fast Acquisition

The Chief II comes equipped with fiber optic front and rear sights. These modern sights offer a distinct advantage over traditional iron sights, particularly in varied lighting conditions:

• Superior Visibility: Fiber optics gather ambient light, illuminating the sight pins and making them incredibly bright and easy to see against any background, even in dim light.
• Rapid Target Acquisition: The bright, contrasting dots allow for quick sight alignment, reducing the time it takes to get on target.
• Precision: While many PCP users eventually add scopes, the fiber optic sights provide excellent precision for close-to-medium range shooting straight out of the box.

Smooth Bolt Action: Reliable and User-Friendly

The Chief II features a classic bolt action mechanism, a tried-and-true system renowned for its reliability and simplicity.

• Dependable Cycling: Bolt actions are inherently robust and less prone to malfunctions, ensuring consistent feeding and chambering of pellets.
• Ergonomic Operation: The smooth operation of the bolt allows for quick and easy cocking and pellet loading, even when wearing gloves.
• Traditional Feel: Many shooters appreciate the tactile feedback and classic feel of a bolt action, reminiscent of traditional firearms.

The Versatility of the .177 Caliber

The Beeman Chief II fires .177 caliber pellets, a popular and versatile choice for airgunners worldwide.

• Affordable Ammunition: .177 pellets are generally the most affordable and widely available, making practice sessions economical.
• High Velocity: The lighter .177 pellets can achieve impressive velocities, with the Chief II boasting up to 1000 feet per second (FPS), leading to a flatter trajectory over typical airgun ranges.
• Target Shooting Excellence: The .177 caliber is the standard for competitive target shooting due to its precision and minimal recoil.
• Small Pest Control: With appropriate pellet choice and shot placement, the .177 caliber can be effective for humane dispatch of very small pests like mice, voles, or sparrows, where legal and ethical.

Who is the Beeman Chief II For? Real-World Applications

The Beeman Chief II is designed to be a versatile companion for a wide array of airgun activities.

• The Aspiring PCP Shooter: If you've been curious about PCP air rifles but found the price tag daunting, the Chief II offers an incredibly accessible entry point without compromising on quality or performance. It provides all the core benefits of a PCP, allowing you to experience what makes them so desirable.
• The Backyard Plinker: For countless enthusiasts, the backyard is the primary shooting range. The Chief II's quiet operation and .177 caliber precision make it perfect for setting up targets and honing your skills without disturbing neighbors. Imagine enjoying a relaxing afternoon of shooting tin cans or paper targets with minimal noise and satisfying accuracy.
• Small Game Hunters (Where Legal/Ethical): While the .177 caliber is primarily suited for target shooting and very small pests, in regions where it's legal and for appropriate game (e.g., small birds, voles), its accuracy and consistent power can make it a reliable tool. Always ensure humane and ethical shot placement.
• The Accuracy Enthusiast: If you're someone who chases tight groups and values precision, the inherent accuracy of a PCP system, combined with the Chief II's quality barrel and consistent power, will not disappoint. It's an excellent platform for developing your marksmanship skills.
• The Practical Prepper: For reliable pest control around a property or for quiet practice, the Beeman Chief II offers a non-firearm alternative with significant utility.

Maintaining Your Beeman Chief II

Owning a PCP air rifle like the Beeman Chief II also means understanding its basic care. The primary aspect is ensuring you have a way to charge its air reservoir. This can be done via:

• High-Pressure Hand Pump: A cost-effective, albeit physically demanding, option.
• Compressor: A faster and more convenient method, requiring an air compressor specifically designed for high-pressure air (HPA) or PCP airguns.
• Scuba Tank/Carbon Fiber Tank: Can be filled at dive shops or specialized airgun stores and used to fill your rifle on the go.

Beyond charging, regular barrel cleaning, checking seals, and keeping the hardwood stock conditioned will ensure your Beeman Chief II provides years of reliable service.
