Things I liked:Good power with few pumps, great wood quality, solid feel. With open sights, it's incredibly accurate.
Things I would have changed:It would have been nice to put dovetail mount on top of the receiver, making it easier to mount a scope with shorter eye relief.

Things I would have changed:It would have been nice to put dovetail mount on top of the receiver, making it easier to mount a scope with shorter eye relief.
What others should know:Mine has a bit of slop in the trigger (wobbles a bit from side to side). Benjamin guns are usually very high quality, so this probably just an isolated problem. It doesn't ruin the gun. Flat head pellets are tricky to load.

Things I liked:Wood and metal construction, power and accuracy.The trigger is really nice with a little take-up and a crisp predictable realease,a lightweight dedicated hunting gun. I,ve owned Crosman/Benjamin guns since I was 12,I'm 29 and they all still work. A great American made classic.

Things I would have changed:Better wood and factory peep sight installed on base gun, but for the money it is just fine the way it is. Get some Pellgunoil because the gun is shipped very dry.
What others should know:This gun is very accurate and powerful enough for headshots in .22 to quickly dispatch squirrels and rabbits humanely with the right pellet. Mine loves Predators, Premier hollowpoints, and RWS Hobby pellets. Pumping this gun can get tiring, but it's worth it every time you pull the trigger. It' loud ,but I like it that way.

Excellent gun for the price. Plenty of power in .22, chronograph very close to advertised velocity which is a rarity. Also easy to maintain and take apart.
Things I would have changed:Their is a gap between the pump and the rest of the stock it would look better if it was a flush fit.
What others should know:Scope mount- Air Venturi Intermount
Get a pellet sampler (mine likes the RWS MEISTERKUGLN) and you will find the pellet that complements your rifle. My gun was very picky on the pellets it was ether super bad groups or one on top of the other.
Keep at least one pump when storing.

Things I liked:Well made, good wood and steel. Powerful, consistent, kills squirrels fast.
Things I would have changed:Build a better blade sight or include a peep sight in the standard package.
What others should know:Overall, extremely good value at a good price. Buy the Williams peep sight. It's very good and very inexpensive. The blade sights on the Benji are bad. No other complaints.
Minor Woes: My 392 immediately needed serious tightening of several screws and the large bolt in front of the trigger area.
Moderately Annoying: Blade sights in general are not very good, and on the 392 they are as bad as they can be. You can use them--sight them in and make accurate shots--but the rear notched blade sight is nearly completely useless in low/poor light, and it needs delicate handling. I could not lower it far enough to sight in on a short indoor range without taking it apart.
The rear sight is a thin, flexible piece of steel held in tension from its mount on the barrel by a screw. The sight is raised and lowered by turning another screw the sight rests on. Any pressure or wear and tear over time is likely to throw this sight off. So just take it off and put on a Williams peep sight instead.
Putting a scope on a short barreled multi-pump rifle like this seems like it would be an exercise in frustration. A scope requires addition of a mount which must go so far forward on the barrel of this rifle, you'll be leaning a long way further in than is normal.

Things I liked:Accurate, powerful, solid constuction, relatively compact size, and inexpensive. Typical recoilless multipump.
Things I would have changed:Nothing really
What others should know:This is probably the best value in airguns. This gun is a classic, and the design hasn't changed a whole lot for decades. Think about it, you could spend $300-$400 dollars on a springer that has slightly more velocity (these guns are close to their exagerate advertised velocity), and it won't be anywhere near as accurate. Yes, it can be difficult to pump for younger enthusiasts or those small in stature, but springers can be hard to break open too... It's my go to gun, and if I had to pick, it'd be my only gun.

Things I would have changed:The triggers are not going to be mistaken for the Wiehrauch Rekord trigger. But they smooth up with use.
What others should know:These can be serviced by the owner/shooter. They don't require any special tools for disassembly. A good Hardware Store will have all the tools necessary. Crosman/Benjamin are happy to supply mechanical drawings by e-mail and to sell parts. My experience with 2 of these has been that they are not as accurate as the .20cal. or .177cal. versions of this rifle. 20yds. or less they are adequate for pest control. But accuracy is the eye of the shooter. The Williams Receiver Sight is superior to a scope on these, in my opinion. The scope mounts for these will walk up and down the barrell due to the action of the pump lever and linkage. And they are not sufficiently accruate to warrant a scope in my opinion. These rifles are WORK to shoot very much! 50 full power shots every day will make a difference in your upper body you can see, before long. They are loud for urban use. A full charge being released outdoors will be recognized as a shot for a good 50yds. in all directions. On the other hand, Power. A spring gun that will thump with this is going to weigh 2-5 lbs. more than this does. For utility and pest control, I think these are real hard to beat!

Things I liked:What's not to like? You cannot beat the price for the quality you get. First off, I have a 397 that's about 8 or 9 years old. Other than a little rust and a few scratches, it still performs like new. The 397 did not disappoint. It's a beautiful gun. It weighs enough to provide you with stability while shooting but not so heavy that you get tired quickly. The accuracy is superb. While lining up my sights, I obtained 1/2" 5 shot groups from 35' with RWS Superdomes and Crosman Premier Domes. Actually, more like 1/2" holes since 2-3 would hit near identical spots. I can't wait to take it out for a day of plinking. I'm trying to convince my friend to invest in one. It won't take much since he's seen how my 397 performs. I'm already thinking of getting the CB9, just so I have the complete line :-D
Things I would have changed:NOTHING... The quality out of the box is worth twice as much as what you're paying for in this gun. Though some say it's difficult to pump, I have no issues with it. The power dictates that this gun is meant for adults and a child has no business handling it. A misguided shot can prove tragic no matter what caliber the pellet is.
What others should know:These are great guns and they'll truely make you a better marksman. They're very accurate so if you don't hit the target, it's you, not the gun ;-) I suggest domes from RWS or Crosman's Premiers.

Things I liked:Compact size; variable power; been in production for a long time; reliable design leads to good value; walnut stock (bought my rifles before introduction of walnut finished hardwood stock).
Things I would have changed:Your trigger finger muscles will grow, grow, grow. Trigger pull is probably off the
scale. I needed lots of practice with the heavy trigger pull to extract the innate
accuracy of my 392/397 rifles. Reduce trigger pull to 3-4 pounds; return to formed
steel trigger guard.
What others should know:I've been acquiring all types of air rifles for 40 years. I own versions of this rifle
ranging from original St. Louis Benjamin 310/ 312/317/342/347 models to the latest Benjamin-Sheridan renditions. The original Benjamin rifles have much lighter triggers. If you truly like air rifles, you have to own this classic American air rifle. The quality and reliability remain high. They are fun to shoot until you tire of pumping. Replace the rear sight with the factory aperture sight. Shoot this gun until you realize how accurate it is. I like my Benjamin rifles.

Things I liked:Light, short, and potent. It's one of the least expensive +12 FPE rifles you'll find. Quite accurate. I own several Benjamin and Sheridan rifles from the current Crosman manufacture as well as the prior Racine, WI Ben/Sher plant. They're iconic rifles that should be in any collection and are wonderful hunting, pest control, and plinking tools. The ability to vary power by pumping is quite nice. 2 pumps is enough for bouncing cans around the back yard.
Things I would have changed:I wish Crosman would go back to walnut for the stocks rather than the generic "hardwood" that they are stocking the Benjamin's with these days. FIX THE TRIGGER!!! There is an aftermarket sear that makes the factory trigger a dream. The factory trigger is like trying to haul two cinder blocks past each other with your index finger. Dump the factory rear sight the instant you buy this rifle. Install the Williams peep or scope the rifle, but don't rely on the factory rear sight.
What others should know:Pumping does get rather labored past 6 pumps. You get 12-13 FPE out of only 8 pumps, but those are rather stiff pumps, especially at the end. Not for very young or very slight shooters.

Things I liked:Very accurate, handsome styling, low price for the power
Things I would have changed:somehow, make it easier to pump
What others should know:kids under 16 might have a hard time pumping this thing up! My son is 11, and he runs out of steam after firing it 8 or 9 times. It will wear you out if you intend

Things I liked:My father bought me this pellet gun when I was 12 years old. I'm 41 and still have it. I have fired this gun thousands of times and it still has the original seals. My rifle is a slightly different model 342. I love this gun and will keep it till I die. What I'm trying to get at is this rilfe will last longer than your child

I have many other rifles and pistol but this will always be my favorite.

Things I liked:First off I would like to say that this is a great gun for the money. I liked many things about this gun. Lets start with the stock. the stock is (i think) beach stained a medium brown, probly trying to look like walnut. if you remove the butt pad you can see the true wood color.
At only 36 inches this is a compact gun. also

Things I liked:First off I would like to say that this is a great gun for the money. I liked many things about this gun. Lets start with the stock. the stock is (i think) beach stained a medium brown, probly trying to look like walnut. if you remove the butt pad you can see the true wood color.
At only 36 inches this is a compact gun. also the almost 20 inch barrel makes full potential of the air and accuracy. the open sights are good but i would recoment the williams peep sight. the rear notch is easily removable to install the peep sight.
i also like how straitforward the trigger and gun are. i took it all apart and had no problem putting it back together.
i also like the fact that when the bolt is open the trigger will not move. this adds safety.
Things I would have changed:this model is recomended for a hunting gun which is strange considering the velocity and scope mounting issues(you can mount a scope but it will be alot harder to pump). its not the stopping power that worries me about the velocity but the pellet drop. for hunting you will be shooting at a number of different unknow ranges and a slow heavy pellet such as one from this gun will drop more. you will have to do alot of compensation. im not saying its a bad hunting gun. in fact you need .22 to hunt. if your planning on hunting make sure you know what your doing and can estimate ranges and compensate accordingly.
another problem spot is the trigger. it requires a long break in period. you van aid this by putting a generous amount of grease (i used high speed bearing lube) on the hammer riges where it catches the sear. this will help with the trigger pull.
accuracy is a problem. the combonation of a heavy trigger and no scope dont leave great results. 100 feet is probly the limit for decent accuracy.
What others should know:this is a LOUD gun. i would not recomend it if you live in an urban are or have bad nieghbors. you cannot mount a sling on this gun. the best pellets ive used is the .22 heavy jsb's. there can be decent accuracy in this gun but you have to get to know it. i would not recomend it for plinking due to pellet cost and pumping effort.
