I always thought one of those would be cool to have when I was little, but never got one. Looks like it might be time finally.

Sweet, my wifes red ryder has been beaten by one. Gotta up my game
Ccc!
When I was a kid, all my friends had Benjamin's and all I had was a crossman. Then I got a crack barrel air rifle for my eleventh b-day and after that, they all hated their Benjamin's. I could shoot three squirrels in the time it took them to pump up to full power once

The Benjamin is just my CQC gun!

You might not be all that thrilled with a newer one depending on how old yours was. I have an old 5mm. It still does OK but 5mm pellet selection sucks.
back in the 80's.....
i had a 5mm sheridan[still do] and my best friend had the .22 benjamin [still does].
when u would shoot a robin out of the tree with the .22 it hit like a ton of bricks.
when u would shoot a robin out of a tree with the 5mm[.20cal] it would either drop or fly off a few yards and then drop.
hands down that .22 benjamin is a treasure.
anybody shoot that new .25cal benjamin with the nitro piston?

Mine was purchased in 91. Pellet selection was either the yellow box or the red box back in the day...

I think mine was a .20 cal, I destroyed it after a couple of years trying to figure out how the damn thing worked. I think my dad bought it for like $120 at the time....and he was pissed!
