Sgt.McMuffin 0 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I think we need Timelord over here, he's the sheridan master. Quote Link to post
Timelord 0 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Do they still manufacture these guns, if so where can i buy one? You can still buy the .177 caliber and the .22 caliber. The .20 caliber was only made from 1999-2001 and then was discontinued IMHO this was the best caliber in this pistol made I'm sure if you put a wanted advert up in gun forums then someone may be willing to part with one. This caliber pistol is as rare a rocking horse shite but there was over 10,000 put into circulation in the UK.... Good luck with you pursuit and let us all know if you get one. One word of advise don't haggle too much about the price of these in the second hand market as they are now collectable. Before you ask I won't be parting with my custom built Sheridan .20 Pro Hunter Quote Link to post

aaronpigeonplucker 32 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 tiemlord, what ft per ibs does the pistol give out as IMO most pistols are too underpowered for any range over 15 yards. Quote Link to post

These are the most powerful legal pistols you can buy, mine is doing 5.5-5.8ft/lb on my chrono.... Quote Link to post

I've done rats at 25 yards clean the feckers don't even wriggle I never attempt anything further than that, but hey I've got a Rapid so I don't need to do pest control with pistols Quote Link to post
aaronpigeonplucker 32 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 do you think the pistol could tackle anythning bigger than a squirrel? Quote Link to post
Timelord 0 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 do you think the pistol could tackle anythning bigger than a squirrel? It's not advisable to do this so stick to your rifle for bunnies etc Quote Link to post
aaronpigeonplucker 32 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 so it can only tackle (in your skillfull hands) magpies, jackdaws and rats? Quote Link to post

Cheers Hughesey These pistols are now owned by Crosman although Sheridan and Benjamin trade in their name. Crosman own them all out right, and as for the names well 'Pro Hunter' was given to the .20 version only but they are all EB's by model number. Quote Link to post
