Just wondering what you folks out there think the best BAM model is? I'm looking to buy one before most of the American vendors run out and I'm preferential to the B-21, not sure what caliber but I'm open to ideas. I appreciate any input. Thanks.

I've had 3- 21's and a 25 as well as 3 - 26's but without a doubt the b 40 is the smoothest and most accurate very nice rifle. howie

Not sure on what use you have in mind, but I decided on the MM B-26 its a clone of the beeman r-9. It has the rekord style trigger, the main reason I got it. Its med weight, great power and very accurate. I am not sure its the best BAM as I dont have them all:( ..after getting everything adjusted like I want I am pleased with the B-26:)

i have the b30.22 its older but packs a punch with excellent accuratecy and holes that will leave u astonished ,its tuned and at 40yds im doing quarter size groups i could do better but im low on pellets but my rws domed works well on all with my super-h-points ,the only thing is that they dont sell the .22caL anymore its the same as the b21 the b40.is also an excellent shooter its the clone of the tx200 which is a 570.00 airrifle and the b40 is about 340 with mount and scope lube and inspected by mike melick ....my 2 cents that people hear will agree with ...

I asked the EXACT same question some months ago. I have edited the main post many times.

(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif)Well Tyler, you asked one tough question for anyone to answer. IMHO, BAM, has the best machining practices between the big three Chinese AG manufacturers. I have a emotional bond for the B40 and the B26,I like the B28 also but not as strongly as the previous two. These two shoot well at distances from 10m to 40m, and they are very accurate as well. They can group at 10m about 3/8 of an inch to 3/4 of an inch at 40m. Other airgunners have said the B40 is too heavy and the B26 is too underpowered.Tough choice you have if you are planning to get one of them, you might want them all...LOL(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif)(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif)(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif).........Shoot Safe and Enjoy.........Bill(http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cool.gif)

i have shot a lot of bam products and i would say that the best would be a .22 caliber B26-1, with a close second .177 B40 and a real close .22 B51... Those are all the airguns you'll ever need (or i guess an R9, a Tx200 and a huntsman...lol)

FOR ME THIS IS THE BEST BAM AIR RIFLE::

The B30 is nice, as are the B40 and the B50. Don't have a B26, though I do have an R9. R9 with good pellets equals dead squirrels.
I need to get back to finishing the tune on my B50. My short attention span got the better of me about 2 months ago.
-
I've shot the 21,30 owned the 40 and 26. IMO hands down the 26 in .22 cal. I grab that springer more than any other.
-
I also like the B-26 in .22 caliber. Fairly powerful, accurate, smooth shooting cycle. It is a fine looking piece, too. Why do you say American vendors will run out? Did I miss something?
-
After the recent "Shot Show" Mike Melick had reported that there apparently had been some changes in the production and marketing contracts/agreements for the chinese guns. Something about a change in production companies and also a change in the marketing of some models in the USA. Shortly after that however Mike said not to worry and that all the "usual" guns would still be available through "Best Airguns" for quite a while.....

I can see why you'd think of the B26 as your go-to gun. I have a .177 cal R9 and it's my go-to springer. Next up is my .22 cal B30. It's a hammer.
-
I've only one model of Bam/Xisico rifle,...B-28's in .177, .22,. and hopefully my .25 cal back from Mike before too long. These rifles are stong, accurate, and lethal enough for small game out passed the normal parameters of most springers. They really aren't that heavy, but they are in fact a 'long gun' fir sure. With practice, they are a pleasure to shoot. tjk
