Product: Benjamin 392 pump air rifle
Review entered on 2011-10-12 14:08:47Things I liked:Very solid, well built rifle. Not as hold sensitive as springers. Has a good amount of take down power. It is relatively quiet with more of a thud than a pop. The scope is nice but gets reflection easily. The break barrel is not hard to cock.
Things I would have changed:It could be a bit lighter and a bit more accurate. My Benji 392 is more accurate at 20 yards and has a much better trigger. The barrel is very dirty from the factory. The trigger is horrible. It feels like it grinds through 10 stages at first. Mine is getting smoother with use but the pull is way too heavy still.
What others should know:It has a good bit of recoil similar to a powder burner. It is not as accurate as I would have hoped. 1" groups at 20 yards. I tried 8 different pellet types and RWS meisterkugeln worked the best. Mine didn't settle down and group well until well over 100 shots. Decent rifle for the price and will take down small game efficiently at short to medium ranges. Just dont expect extreme accuracy at longer ranges and you will be happy with this rifle. A trigger upgrade might help with the accuracy.

Some noticeable recoil. Good for powder burner practice, I think. This gun will make you shoot everything better (because of the bit of recoil). It is only a $200 gun! For $200, overall this is an outstanding gun.

Review entered on 2011-10-12 14:11:33Things I liked:Extremely accurate out of my Marauder. Foam padding. Hits pretty hard.
Things I would have changed:Some skirts are bent but that is the nature of a soft lead, light skirted pellet. Not too many were unusable out of one tin though.

Review entered on 2011-10-12 14:14:48Things I liked:Best shooting pellet in my Benji 392 which is nice because it really makes the rifle smack targets with power. Pellets are very consistent and uniform.
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:These pack a punch! Makes a lower fps rifle more powerful.

Review entered on 2011-10-12 14:19:27Things I liked:These are the most consistent, high quality looking pellets I have tried yet. Every pellet is the same and have no imperfections. Shot great out of my NP trail but not as accurate in my other rifles.
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:These pellets might be worth a try in your rifle. If they shoot good, you will be happy because these are very high quality and uniform pellets

Review entered on 2011-10-20 15:03:35Things I liked:Makes focus adjustment much easier. Looks great and fits nicely.
Things I would have changed:The markers do not line up exactly so I just use the original markers on the turret. Otherwise it would be 5 stars.
What others should know:It works.

Review entered on 2011-10-20 15:13:51Things I liked:Best scope for the money I have ever bought. I have used many others. Clarity is great for a scope in this range but not as good as $400+ scopes. Plenty good for any air rifle. The illumination is great in low light. The focus works really well. Coupled with the 80mm wheel, It helps judge range very quickly. I was able to zero it in less than 20 shots.
Things I would have changed:Nothing that I could think of. The magnification could slide a bit easier. Maybe mine will loosen up with time.
What others should know:Just like any scope, make sure the rings and scope are clean before mounting and use blue loc tite on the screws to ensure you keep your zero.

Review entered on 2011-10-20 15:18:27Things I liked:Very nice pellet! These are very accurate in my Marauder and share almost the same zero as the JSB exact 15.9's so I am happy. Spot on at 20 yards. I need to try longer distances but I hear they open up a bit.
Things I would have changed:Maybe lower the price a bit
What others should know:All the pellets are very uniform. Great hunting pellet!

Review entered on 2012-08-01 14:38:54Things I liked:The clarity of this scope is amazing! It rivals much more expensive glass. The reticle is thin while still being very clear and easy to acquire. It will work well with all kinds of rifles. Not just air guns.
Things I would have changed:More of a positive feel on the turrets. They are a bit mushy. Flip up lens covers. You cant put the metal lens cover on the sun shade.
What others should know:If you want a quality scope, this is an outstanding bang for the buck. The added price is well worth it over the Leapers I have.

Things I would have changed:Dovetail grooves would be nice. I could not keep a scope zeroed with the benjamin mounts. The iron sights could be better and need windage adjustment. It only has elevation.
What others should know:Beeman crow mags worked best for me through this rifle. I filed the rear sight to adjust for windage. Not the best method but it works. I will get a williams peep sight soon.
