Beeman Chief II 2000 psi PCP (.177/.22) — 2 Mags Included

Specifications

Key specs

Why this rifle earns the pick

The Chief II is the cheapest serious PCP in the catalog — affordable bolt-action with no springs (so it’s practically recoilless), choice of European hardwood or synthetic stock, fiber-optic sights for use without a scope, and two magazines + a single shot tray included in the box.

The 2000 psi fill pressure is the key feature for hand-pump buyers — meaningfully lower than the 3000-3600 psi of most modern PCPs, which means filling from a hand pump is genuinely comfortable rather than a workout.

This is the right starter PCP for buyers who specifically want a budget entry before committing to a Lynx or Airacuda Max. Get the platform under your hands, learn the cycle, then upgrade.

What it pairs with

• Hand pump: 4-Stage Hand Pump — 2000 psi fill is ideal for hand-pump operation
• Scope (optional): Discovery HD 2-12×24 SFIR FFP when ready; the iron sights work fine for learning
• Mounts: check the rail spec at checkout — Beeman typically uses 11mm dovetail

.177 vs .22 — which?

• .177 — 1000 fps, target/pest, lower pellet cost
• .22 — 830 fps, the more universal Canadian hunting caliber

Honest trade-offs

Only 2 orders so far — small validation sample at this partner. Beeman as a brand has decades of buyers; the small order count reflects buyer preference for the partner’s other PCPs rather than any issue with the Chief II.

Out of stock at time of writing.

Lower power than most rifles in the catalog. 830 fps in .22 is at the bottom end of full-power. For serious hunting, the Raider or a Snowpeak rifle is a step up.

2000 psi fill = fewer shots per fill than higher-pressure rifles. Acceptable for casual use; less ideal for high-volume range sessions.
