Things I liked:Great heft and durability so you know it is made to perform. Accuracy is excellent once you get the iron sights lowered. Power is amazing, you can really tailor it to the range you like. I took this out to 50 yards and easily hit cans and tennis ball sized targets.
Mine seems to like the Beeman FTS Double Gold 14.66 pellets

Mine seems to like the Beeman FTS Double Gold 14.66 pellets a lot. Incredible accuracy with them and no lead fouling in the barrel either. Trigger pull is light and crisp the way I like it. The heavy barrel means it shoots where you point it.
It loads nicely with the bolt action and is very quiet for the blistering power it delivers. I was pleasantly surprised at that. Also, the pseudo 1911 style grip make it easy to handle and acquire sight lines... it is a well thought out gun, very much like a ruger. Things I would have changed:The stamped serial number looks a bit cheap for the Benjamin name. I bought the scope mount so I could attach a scope and it wobbled like a drunken sailor. After I rigged it a bit to hold the scope mount firmly, I attached a scope and started shooting dime sized groups at 25 feet. Nice.
The iron sights are dialed way too high, so I had to screw mine down all the way before deciding the scope was the way to go. Should you choose to go the scope route, you will understand why it will make you a target master with this little beauty.
Also, the grip is a bit awkward on the pump lever for the kind of power some shooters may need, so be careful not to bust a knuckle. Pehaps a little texturing on that pump grip would make it ergonomically superior, but no worries, just take your time and pump slowly but firmly, keeping fingertips away from the underbarrel area, and your finger off the trigger. What others should know:If you can overlook the obvious but minor faults, you will enjoy this gun. It is by far the best value I have gotten on a .22 air pistol anywhere. The fact that it does not need any CO2 or gas is nice... so pump away, load up on ammo (heavy domed) and go for it. You should really like this. Safe and happy shooting!

Things I liked:Loved the look of it when I opened the box. Very accurate. Feels great in your hand. Nice and solid wood and metal construction. Pretty solid shooter with a few minot quirks. 3 pumps works fine for me when target shooting ~25 feet. Things I would have changed:If you have big hands, an extra inch of vertical grip

Pretty solid shooter with a few minot quirks. 3 pumps works fine for me when target shooting ~25 feet. Things I would have changed:If you have big hands, an extra inch of vertical grip would be nice. The pumping is pretty tough on the hands if you are going for lots of high-power shots. Poor sights. The gun shoots accurately, but you can't really take advantage of it with those sites. The front site is too skinny, and being black, disappears on a dark target. At least a bright red front sight for visibility would help a bit. Like to try a red dot scope on this one....A lighter trigger would be nice too. What others should know:I read you should put it away after shooting with 1 pump in it to protect the seals (let me know if I'm wrong). I would probably buy some kind of 3rd party site for this gun to take advantage of its accuracy. I like these guns, they're old-school--they force you to practice your marksmanship instead of just spraying lead everywhere. Overall, very nice gun.

Things I liked:It is Solid, shoots well, powerful, accurate, etc. Things I would have changed:The cocking action is more difficult than it needs to be, they should extend the lever like the "IZH 46M".

Read MoreThings I liked:It is Solid, shoots well, powerful, accurate, etc. Things I would have changed:The cocking action is more difficult than it needs to be, they should extend the lever like the "IZH 46M". The main thing that annoys me the most is the bolt at back of the gun above the grip is painful on the crook between your thumb and trigger finger. Also the trigger is slightly sloppy side to side, but that doesn't really bother me that much, it just gives you an impression that they don't take a lot of pride in there craftsmanship. What others should know:I don't use the stock sight, and the Crossman B272 4-Pc Intermounts didn't fit quite right if I remember correctly. I had to alter them with a Dremil to get them to secure. My red dot sight works great though.
