BUT AT 20MM THAT IS WHEN IT OPENED THE GROUP TO 3". I HAVE A SPRINGER'TF97 22CAL THAT WILL HIT 1/4" GROUP AT 20MM,. & WHAT'S UP WITH KEEPING 1 PUMP IN THE GUN HAVE TO DO WITH THE SEAL?. JUST GOT IT TODAY 1/30/10, & WILL BE
RETURNING IT ON MONDAY IF THE PUMPING AT 30+LBS IT TOOK BOTH HANDS TO GET IT UP TO 7 PUMPS & FOR WHAT 625FPS OR ABOUT THAT! JUST AFTER 5-SHOTS AT 4 PUMPS,

The Benjamin Sheridan 392 is the best production airgun made today, but it's made for a man (pumping is exercise). It's power is only surpassed by a few of the superexpensive springer guns that have a recoil, are very heavy, and are very loud. This thing also has a fixed barrel which adds to scopable accuracy unlike the moving barrel of the springers. The trigger is completely okay and I could hit a nickel every time at 10 paces just with the open sights--easily within my eyesight variation. ...

This benjamin sheridan 392 gun is powerful, accurate, and well worth the money. I shoot at a peanut jar (6x6inches) at 45 yards and I hit it with open sites every time with only 5 pumps. The gun is very well balanced, it is just as easy to shoot standing up as sitting with a rest.
Today I shot a laundry detergent container about 25 yards out, the pellet went right through it and hit the peanut jar at 45 yards. The pellet kept a STRAIGHT LINE even after passing through the plastic container. ...

This Benjamin Sheridan 392 airgun is overall very good, unlike most other airguns today the Benjamin 392 keeps up with the tradition that is accuaracy, dependability, and bang for your buck. just like its ancestors

Academy took it back no questions asked. I have 24 air guns. Crossman sure lost the quaility Benjamin had. Would buy another and try to break it in and try different pellets IF it had good sights or 3/8 dovetail for scope.

Made in the USA - all steel - no plastic. Variable power - three to four pumps for plinking and 5 through 8 for hunting. Many 22 pellets available including light to heavy. Purchase a Williams Model 64 peep and installed easily - just follow instructions by Williams for both installation and sighting in. Peep helps me shoot again with irons for my mid age eyes and glasses.

Variable power is fun; although I like my springers and their associated power. Benjamin Sheridan 392 has good power ...

If your not determined and lack the ingenuity to make something unforgiveable work, then go buy a Beeman airgun. Frankly I don't have $500.00 to spend on a basic high-power air gun. Solution, I mounted a red dot scop on mine,.....the $87.00 392. I then removed the trigger group assembly, studied it and came up with an adjustable trigger. It's very slippery. I then added a counter weight to the end of it,.......knock out the roll pin and remove the brass plug at the business end, then drill and t ...

Thirty years ago I used to plink and hunt with a .20 caliber Sheridan Bluestreak. That gun was deadly accurate on small game out to 50 yards using the stock iron sights. I put thousands of rounds through it before the pressures of business and family took all of my time. I retired six months ago and one of my goals was to take up plinking again. I was surprised to see the old .20 caliber Bluestreak still being offered but I decided to go with the .22 caliber 392 instead. More choices in pe ...

I have used this rifle to take gray squirrells at distances of 20 yards and less. It is my opinion that it just is not powerful enough to consistantly make humane kills. Good solid head/brain shots are needed to kill quickly so that they do not needlessly suffer. Shots to the heart/lung areas too often fail to kill quick and clean. While I really like this air rifle, I think it is better suited to shooting tin cans rather than small game unless it is done at really close distances with shots to ...

This rifle has stood the test of time. It is also extremely accurate and dependable. I shoot possums at 30 yds. and it kills them first shot. Accurate and dependable

Benjamin 392 22cal/Crossman 4x32mm Scope.
For the price of this gun you get a nice quality and decently accurate rifle. With a 4x32 scope on it, I can consistently hit soda cans out 30-40 yards. It's not a thumper compared to high velocity springers, but it's cheaper, doesn't kick and air source wise, it's self contained. Some say it's not good for small game beyond 20 yards, but I've taken rabbits out to 30 yards with only 5 or 6 pumps using crossman premiers, and no, a second shot is not requ ...

Great power, excellent accuracy, and VERY fun to use. Also doubles as an exercise device!
My rifle has taken a serious since I've had it, and it looks even better all scratched up... Well recommend Benjamin Sheridan 392.

After finding the pellet it likes best, crosman domed premiers at .68" group at 50 yards with ao centerpoint scope 4-16x40, there's nothing it won't take down. There were some pellets that did not do this rifle justice 3" groups. The other pellets it liked were the jsb.
I have taken down crows, raccoons, rabbits, an opposum. Usually head shots since it's accuracy with the premiers is excellent.

My second one...I brought the first one back, because it shot so erratically. Couldn't sight it in. And I thought it was a fluke, so I exchanged it for another one. Same thing all over again. There is no way to sight it in, because it changes every time. To the left, to the right, high, low, I can shoot exactly the same with no pull, on a solid ledge, same target, and get five different directions with five shots.Not happy at all.

I know the Sheridan 392 has a loyal following, but unfortunately, I'm not in that crowd.

Coming from a (relatively new) background of three Gamo springers (a Delta, a Shadow Sport, and a CF-X), I thought a .22 would be a nice addition to my collection. I was initially looking into RWS's 48 and 350, but I didn't want to break the bank, especially if another quality option was available.

I spoke with a rep. at Crossman, and he told me that pumping takes 25 lbs. per stroke. While I had no wa ...
