| To maintain the seals for a long time, remember to put one pump of air into the gun when putting it away after shooting. Whether you plan to shoot again the next day or not again for another 2 years, always put one pump into the gun when you're done shooting! This air rifle has no scope rail or dovetail. If you buy one of the scopes or dot sights listed in the accessories link, you will need either the Crosman 3/8" Intermount or the Air Venturi Weaver/Picatinny Intermount. An American classic! The Benjamin 397 .177 cal. rifle is a multi-pump pneumatic. The hardwood Monte Carlo stock is sleek and lightweight. The rifled brass barrel is finished in black and sends pellets screaming at 800 fps! You can vary the velocity by the number of pumps (up to 8). The 397 is ideal for plinking, target shooting, slapping spinners and popping paper targets. In fact, we predict this gun will become one of your favorites. Although this gun has been made for decades, the manufacturer continues to put extra fine details in the rifle, such as a swelling in the forearm to make it easier to pump and a fully adjustable rear sight. You can put a scope on the 397, but you'll want to use the B272 intermount to do that. Don't forget to click on the AMMO link for a list of recommended pellets. The ACCESSORIES link has a list of scopes, fun targets and safety gear you'll need. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Benjamin 397 by Benjaminreviews summary
Things I would have changed: Maybe a bit better construction for the rear sight What others should know: First off, I'm not sure why hunting isn't listed on both the box and on here. Within 30 yards this could easily drop a squirrel, and rabbits a bit further than that. It's not all that hard to pump to 8, might start to get tough for older kids but early teens shouldn't have much trouble. The trigger is just fine, breaks consistently and isn't creepy. The first 1/4" of the muzzle end of the barrel looks pretty rough like it's pitted or something, the crown isn't bad but could be a bit better. But accuracy is what accuracy does and if I can get pellets going in the same hole at ten yards with the open sights then it sure isn't negatively affecting anything
Things I would have changed:Pump linkage looks fragile. I would prefer cast or machined to the stamped linkage. The roll pin construction also looks cheap. Compared to my Ruger 10/22, it looks like a toy, even though it cost the same. The rear site is bad. The front site needs paint. The Williams peep site is dead simple to install. I scratched the paint already. How about a special edition in natural brass? What others should know:Mine was very hard to pump until I lubed it. It took a lot of oil to get the pump smooth. I'm glad I bought it. Parts look cheap, but it isn't falling apart like the Beeman did.
Things I would have changed:Better sights with room for more adjustements. Even with rear sight a lowest it shoots a bit too high. With the aperture sight fitted, it overshoots even higher, so that i will have to tweak my front sight to compensate. A better trigger, mine is horrible. What others should know:be sure to check your sights. My front sight was not mounted straight, i had to carefully adjust it a bit to the right. Although i find the trigger very bad, this gun is not hold senstive like a springer. So the bad trigger doesn`t have any tremendous effect on accuracy.
