secretagentmole 1,701 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Have fired one a few times at the range, easy to cock, nice and light weight, trigger seemed ok too. Might want to look for Remington as well (brought in by Crosman as well)! Quote Link to post

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 They are an accurate rifle as well, the old dear on the range had one as she had bad arthritis, had to stop firing her shotgun, could not use a springer, she found the Benjamin easier to cock, the recoil did not affect her shoulder and she could hit bottle tops at 30 metres with a .22!

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 (edited) She uses it to shoot rats off her bird table as well, her and her husband sit there with the patio door open, wait for the Rolands and then sent them into eternity, whilst watching Eastenders....

andyfr1968 772 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 If it's the gun I'm thinking of, they're made in China and aren't much cop. Poor triggers and iffy build quality. If you're after a decent springer either go for Air Arms or anything German. Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Andy the one I tried had a decent little trigger on it, clean second stage and release point, it was well finished, is it another case of they build a few good ones then start cranking them out quick?

mikeyblue 28 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Yep that must be the case Mole, I tried one and was gutted. It had the potential to be a belting springer/rammer, but just wasn't. Trigger had noticeable creep, bluing was poor but on the upside the action was reasonably smooth. So maybe a DIY trigger tune/ sear polish would sort it. Mikey. Quote Link to post
