Benjamin 392 Combo Reviews

I love it!!!!!

As expected great gun!!

I was familiar with the product, having owned a Blue Streak from around 1970. The rifle is every bit as accurate, as the early model Blue Streak, I own. The scope mounting accessories, worked great. Shipping time was excellent.

I wasn't that crazy about the scope. It had some issues. Pyramyd Air, is working with me to rectify the problem. Several had recommended upgrading to a variable magnification scope, and that seems like a good idea.The trigger, is very stout. There are some mods on the Web, I think I may try to reduce the pull.

The rifle seems to want to retain some air, pumping over 6 pumps. Usually, about one pumps worth. I was cocking and dry firing the rifle one time, so I could start charging an empty cylinder, when sighting in the scope to maintain some repeatability. I'm hoping this will heal itself, as it gets broke in. I'm also planning to try some lighter weight pellets, to see if that may make a difference. I've been using the JSB 15.89 Diablos. This rifle is capable of plinking doves, as far out as 70 yards, if you do your part. I was checking distance, with a range finder I have.

I believe it's heavy built and seemingly durable

I like it as is for shooting rats in my animal feed

plenty of punch for rabbits and squirrels

the combo 392 is the premier pump rifle. So easy to use and is great for varmint hutning or just having some plinking fun

nothing

no

Solid build. Comes with open sights that are adequate. Once you get the hang of the clanky trigger this rifle shoots like butter and the long fixed barrel makes this a good squirrel sniper. With extra heavy pellets (21gr) I was getting 14 fp of energy.

The trigger is rather unwieldy. The pump is VERY stiff. I realize this is necessary for any sort of power but it makes target shooting difficult.

This is not for young shooters. I consider myself fairly fit and it takes me putting this across my lap to pump up if I am going to safe my arm. Excellent hunter but you need to hunt more like it is a muzzle loader as you probably won't have a follow up shot for a good half of a minute and if you do rush it you are going to be slapping that pump loudly. You can pump it quietly but it takes some care and time. I bought this rifle with intentions to pass it to my nephew. I guess I will just have to hold onto it for a couple years for myself!

The gun is great shoots amazing for a pumper didn't expect to be as nice as it is. Wood finish is great

Nothing

Don't buy the combo the scope is not great at all foggy and mine wouldn't hold zero sent the scope back for in store credit

this gun is very well made it is very hard to pump but in a good way you now it is a stong gun.

trigger

get this combo the scope is awsome. things you should know. this gun does not like hollow points... use pointed or anythig else maby a really heavy hollow point may work. i thought the gun sucked until i used the right pellet now it will shoot 100-120yards in high winds with deadly accurecy.

Same basic rifle I used to shoot as a boy. Have not shot or mounted and set scope. Quality of gun seems to be good.

Please be sure and read the descriptions of merchandise either as posted on the internet or as described in the catalog. Deception does crop up in merchandising and does nothing to encourage repead customers

Great gun accurate strong and easy to maintain

Only gripe is using this scope of the gun makes it TIGHT so pumping it can be semi difficult

Of course always leave a pump in there to preserve seal life and personally i would recommended buying the package with the 2x20 scope much easier to pump and i found that scope was of actual quality whereas i found this scope to be a little below par, if you do purchase this package you may want to look into a nicer scope but keep in mind you NEED room to pump this gun

good quality for the price, lots of real wood, decent acuracy and power.its a classic.

Make it easier to load the pellets and easier to pump. And sand the wood a little better or put a few more coats of varnish on there.make it lighter.

I wanted a budget airgun with a scope and the 392 was recommended by a friend. While it is a classic, the pumping got old really fast. With the scope, i never found a comfortable way to pump it and it was just too much work. I exchanged it for a crossman 2260se and am much happier.

The multi-pump gun is a classic powerplant. Sure, it is a bit of work, and takes longer that a sping rifle. But you can vary the power so easily with this gun. 2-4 pumps for target practice depending on range, and a full 8 pumps for hunting. Plus the exercise factor is great. It is a joy to spend an afternoon shooting this rifle. And you don't get the crazy recoil as you would from a spring gun, either. Very little recoil on this gun -- as with all pneumatic and CO2 guns. Accuracy is good. I just recently sighted in the fine scope that came this this gun. Getting 1" groups at 20 yards with many going into the same hole. Accuracy might be better than that since I'm not the best shooter. Max power (8 pumps) puts a Crosman premium pointed pellet and also premier hollow points right through a 1/2" pine board. So I expect this will be sufficient for hunting small game when and if get around to doing that. Its nice to have that option -- and you do with the accuracy and power of this rifle. The package also includes a nice (if basic) case that can hold two guns.

Crosman isn't likely to change the design since this is a classic. There really isn't anything to change though, since this gun is pretty much the way it ought to be for a multi-pump pneumatic. It is a bit loud though on 8-pumps.

I'm just getting back into airguns as I haven't plinked cans and such since I was a teenager (decades ago). I wanted a classic gun for target use that would also serve as a .22 caliber hunting gun. With the 392 and this Leaper's scope, I get that. Be warned that you have to be pretty strong to pump this gun -- especially with the scope mounted as one hand will not be in the optimal place for leverage. Not for kids.

This gun is clean, slick, light and easy to aim, especially with the scope. I yet to miss anything I've pointed this rifle too.

Only thing bad is the distance of the scope to the pump. A little tight but I can live with that.

You should buy one of these. They are simply awesome!

I loved it, its deadly accurate and powerful i shot a rabbit from 20 yards away and it hit dead on and dropped it at 10 at night... best gun ive ever owned

The only thing i would change is the scope mounting, its a bummer you have to buy the scope rail. Other than that its perfect

GET IT!! its better than all others and make sure to get plenty of pellets bc you'll be shooting all day

I don't just like this Bejamin 392 combo, I freaking love it! It's sleek and it's woodgrain stock makes it look freaking awesome. Everyone that has seen it is just dying to get one.

I would change nothing! It's light and has the perfect aim. I highly recommend letting these guys site this rifle in for you. Their 10 for 10 is one hell of a deal!

I would not recommended buying from anyone else but Pyramyd, they are customer focus and put a high priority on their customers!!!

This is a very accurate air rifle. As soon as it arrived, I took it out and shot at some old soda cans from about 30 yds. It was pretty amazing how accurate this little rifle is, I can only imagine how nice it will be when I mount the scope!

My grandfather has one of these from way back and I can tell a big difference in the workmanship. Don't get me wrong, it is a very nice air rifle, but the quality of the wood and finsh for the stock are not as nice as the older ones before crossman took over the company. The serial number on the gun is just etched in sloppily flaking away the finish in some spots.

Overall, you really can't get a better air rifle. I think everyone should own one of these.
