I got my sheridan cb9 Blue Streak from my great uncle and have loved it since! It is very accurate and powerful, but takes way too long to pump and cock if you need 2 shots to hit a target!...

bought this sheridan cb9-blue streak gun when I was 8 yrs old. I shot a yellowbelly sap sucker at 75 yds , I know it says only 8 pumps , but I was hard headed then , I put 100 pumps on it , I was as proud of that gun then as a model 700 . im 56yrs old now , it finally needs a rebuild kit , but I think its because i used the wrong oil in it and ruined the cup, great gun >> bought it for 33 dolars , now they are what 169 >>LOL still worth it .

“Overall it's a good shooter, I think Crosman needs to...”

Overall it's a good shooter, I think Crosman needs to add a second screw that would hold the action at the rear area to the stock to eliminate any movement. One screw wont cut it. When I first noticed the action wobble I thought it was the biggest P.O.S. I ever purchased. But once fixed I think now it will be a favorite to take out and plink with and shoot pests also. A compressed air rifle feels a whole lot different than a springer rifle when you shoot it. And it takes no technique to shoot well...

I have a Sheridan Blue Streak that i purchased in 1962. At last the seals finally gave up the ghost. I just sent it off to have a 'steroid tune' on it. I would not guess the number of tree rats and rabbits it has put on the table. Currently I have a RWS Model 48, a Gamo Stutzen and a Gamo CFX. All are supposed to be more powerful. I much prefer accuracy to power. I don't take 50 yard shots. Never more than 30 yards. The Sheridan will put a 'rat' on the ground with one head shot. Many shoulder shots...

I'm writing this review about the Sheridan Blue Streak I owned from in my youth from about 1974 to 1980. In that time I bagged multiple squirrels and some larger game with this reliable rifle. Back then I was proud that I could shoot a bumble bee on the fly at 20 feet with open sites. At age 16 I traded it for a car stereo. The reason I'm writing the review so many years later is I recently had need of a pellet rifle to kill an opossum. While trying to catch a skunk that has become an annoyance,...

I used to practice nearly everyday with this rifle. I was proud that I could shoot a bumble bee on the fly at 20 feet with open sites. My interest in pellet rifles was recently renewed when I had reason to buy one to get rid of a large opossum I live-trapped in our suburban back yard.

My dad had a blue streak when i was little back in the early 80's, In Manila, a .20 cal air gun is very very rare, or at least in where we used to live. I use to sneak it out and hunt dirty sewage rats. I didn't even know it's called blue streak lol. I rarely shoot sparrows with it because the 20 cal pellet is hard to find in Manila, let me tell you, that gun hits hard, one shot, one kill and very very accurate. I was able to hit a small hot sauce bottle similar to a small tabasco bottle at 40 yards...

Try some .22 cal pellets, I have seen them forced into the breach and they work, although it would be better to force the head through a 5mm hole first and then load them into the Sheridan. Many reloaders who also cast there bullets force them through a die of the right size first, then put them in the gun

“I contacted Crosman in the US to query the power...”

I contacted Crosman in the US to query the power problem. They said that despite the blow-off value I should be able to get 10 pumps into the rifle, which to be fair you can do but the additional velocity gained between 5 pumps and 10 is of the order of 10% but this is really not making serious in-roads to the 4 ft/lb deficit that this rifle suffers from. In my view it's a crying shame that the manufacturer seems to have taken a overly cautious approach to complying with the UK 12ft/lb limit by...

Mark,
<br/>I have a UK spec CB9 and mine does not bleed air at 5 pumps, I have manged 12 with no leakage, maybe your gun is faulty. I also have a nice chrome H9 pistol(it is a rare pump pistol) and a Crosman pump pistol, I have never had the bleed valves release air on these weapons.

“Since being bought out by Crosman, the Benjamin...”

Since being bought out by Crosman, the Benjamin Sheridan lineup of airguns has been cut back. First they did away with the .20 pistols and now it looks like the .20 rifle may go the way of the dinosaur.

For those who don't know, in the early days the .177 and .22 were manufactured by Benjamin. Sheridan, a separate company, manufactured the .20. Essentially the same gun with just a difference in calibers. Some years ago they combined to form Benjamin-Sheridan and then Crosman bought them...

Could be I'm getting older, but it seems to me that the earlier Benjamins and Sheridans were easier to pump. I pretty much give up after 5 or 6 pumps. I can see why some buyers opt for the CO2 version.

"ALL" of you are right on target! I collect &#039;streaks&#039; and my older ones are by far my favorites. I took out a 1959 SilverStreak last weekend and took a sitting cottontail with a head shot at 23yds. with 8 pumps. I hope Crosman doesn&#039;t ruin this gun anymore than it has. IMO, the C9 series are the very BEST all around &#039;go to&#039; guns ever made!!

Excellent rifle. I had a Sheridan CB9 Blue Streak as a kid in the 60's and 70's and it was awesome. I could hit targets that my friends couldn't even reach with their single pump BB or pellet rifles. I got to where I could shoot the eraser off a pencil from a bench rest at 50-75 feet. I used it for hunting all small game and made some extremely amazing shots. The high velocity and 5mm pellets provided good penetration. A single shot kill is achieveable with a well placed head shot. Again, I could...

My father bought me my first Sheridan Blue Streak 5mm (.20 cal) pellet rifle when I was around 12 years old. I used this air rifle for over 20 years now, and still loving it. Pumping this air rifle is very easy. Because you hold the breach in one hand while holding the big wooden pump lever under the barrel in the other, this makes pumping this air rifle easy for young adults.
Loading the gun is very simple, you have a bolt-action style pellet loader.
Due to the non-barrel-break action,...

I have the older Blue and Silver. Had both drilled and tapped to accept receiver sight(peep sight), I like that set up. Tried a scope but forget it. The scope was a pistol scope so I could mount it way forward, most out of way spot possible, and it's still in way. With peep sight its right there in accuracy with more expensive scoped air rifles. I like the 5mm(20 cal)--the best of both worlds. Can't beat the streaks for the price....

It is accurate and powerful. All my Sheridans have been durable and reliable. Although I don't hunt,I know Sheridans have enough power and accuracy to take small game at distances up to 40-45 yards.

All of mine are pre 1980 - (from early 50's - 76), but I still think a kid could do a lot worse than a NEW Streak for Christmas!...Streak

I have two sheridan cb9-blue streak rifles. I think they were made in the 80s. I have one with a scope and one with open sight.

The power is awesome and is said to be around 22 ft lbs. when using heavy pellets. I know that when it is pumped to the full steroid modified max of 14 pumps, it will outpower my RWS 48 .22 cal. and give a very satisfying pop sound. The trigger work that comes with the steroid upgrade is top notch and improves accuracy greatly. I don't regret the upgrade one bit;...

What's not to like about the Blue Streak?? It's fast, light, and has excellent accuracy and dependability. It's not the cheapest air rifle out there - but you get what you pay for. The shortcomings are easily delt with if you have any woodworking skills. I do recommend the Williams Peep sight for target shooting.

I bought my very first BlueStreak at K-mart Dave. I guess they don't sell them any more, becuase chain stores like that will only sell the most popular calibers like .177. Even .22 cals. are being seen less, because some states have passed laws that anything over .18 to be a 'firearm' CRAZY!!! But don't buy a .177 cal, because you have 200 pellets--they'll be gone in no time!

How noisy are these rifles, can you get a silencer for them?

You should have sprang for a "Williams peep sight" before buying the rail, but as long as you're happy and 'hitting' that's what's important. Personally I think the Sheridan is more accurate than a springer because of no recoil, so I'd pick it over a BSA or Webley. As far as noise; they're not 'quiet', but you don't have to pump it the max 8 times either. It's not a gun to shoot in an apartment *LOL*...Streak
