    Information Benjamin 397

    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.

    Things I liked:I don't know what more can be said about these great air guns. I have an old handed down family air loom .20 cal Sheridan. It's about 40 to 50 years old. It still shoots great, with many other spring and nitro piston guns I wanted another one of these to use and hand down to my boys. After about 50 shots the accuracy came in the rifle hits the target every time. It's great. I added the scope mount for an extra scope I had on the shef.its perfect.
    Things I would have changed:I don't want the price to go up so I'll say for the money it's perfect. But the trigger could be a little better.
    What others should know:You wouldnt want this to be your only gun if you were going shooting all day. Its hard to pump if your shooting 25 yards you might want to go 6-7 pumps per shot. So I love it cause I have other guns as well. This is a fun addition to my collection.i know it will last for a looooong time too.

    Things I liked:Solid materials, accurate, trigger needs no work
    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
