General Comments
I have just added the Benjamin/Sheridan 392 to my airgun arsenal. I'm extremely happy with the pinpoint accuracy that is delivered by my new Benji! Shooting from my basement range at 10 yards with sand bags, I've produced 1/8" to 1/4" groups of five, with Crosman Premiers and Gamo Hunter .22 cal. Benjamin/Sheridan is being extremely conservative by advertising 1/2" groups at the same distance! This rifle packs a hard hitting punch and he's not fully broken in yet.

My chronograph gives me the following data:

Crosman Premier: Avg. 636.3 f.p.s. = 12.8 f.p.e.

Gamo Hunter: Avg. 628.0 = 13.4 f.p.e.

JSB Exact: Avg. 618.5 = 13.5 f.p.e. (muzzle energy) All three pellets give good accuracy but the Crosman Premier shines. This rifle is a definate contender in the lower magnum air rifle class. If you want an in depth review of the Benji 392, get yourself a copy of: American Air Rifles by: James E. House

Happy Hunting.......

Update:
<br>
<br>I have just tuned the heavy trigger on my Benji. Polishing the sear and lubing the entire trigger assembly has given me a much lighter trigger pull. Carefully polishing the sear in an arc will make the sear break off from the hammer with less resistance. You have to be extremely careful not to polish off too much or else the gun will not cock and may discharge accidently! My tuned trigger breaks off at around 2.5 to 3 lbs. very sweet and crisp!

<br>Happy Hunting.....
