Introductions Hello from Temple Georgia

[Rwjeter]

Good afternoon everyone! My name is Jeter. I’ve had springers for years, never really fell in love. My Benjamin 392 however…. There is no way to tell how many vermin have fallen to it. The two of us had many adventures. I no longer have my original unfortunately, but bought a new production right before they discontinued it. I’ve wanted an Airforce since I read about the Talon in a magazine as a kid. Then I decided an M-rod was the ticket, but never made the commitment. Well, I finally bit the pellet and purchased my first PCP. A Benjamin Gunnar in .25. So far, I’m thrilled.

Hello and welcome to HAM.
Some of us shoot the ticks off of a squirrel’s rear end just for fun.

Thank you! I’m blessed in the fact that my dad has a couple hundred acre farm just 5 minutes down the road. And that farm includes a shop I can shoot out of and stay dry. Currently trying to clear out a shooting lane behind my house to plink shorter range.

Love those pellets in my S510 under 50Y! But it feels gimmicky bc birds/squirrels/paper/cans die just as hard with the 18gr domes and the 18s are better long range.

This was 5 rounds at 50 yards with the same hold. I’m hoping to try again this weekend. This time I’ll be shooting prone with some better bags to rest off of. We will see what kind of results that nets.

I bought the Hades because I had read several reports of the Gunnar’s liking them. I also bought a JSB sampler I need to test. Heavy is what I keep hearing.

I’m glad to be here! And good to hear he likes it. There doesn’t seem to be much of a following with the Gunnars. I’m not sure why? Mine seems to be doing very well. We’re gonna find out how it holds up.

Don't hear anything much about the Gunnar either. That's a nice bullseye group at 50 yards. Looking good and nice shooting!

When HAM tested the Gunnar, we liked it but considered it a little overpriced at $1K https://hardairmagazine.com/ham-columns/benjamin-gunnar-test-review-22-caliber/https://hardairmagazine.com/ham-columns/benjamin-gunnar-test-review-22-caliber/

I actually read the HAM reviews when making my decision. I will say, I bought it at Airgun Depot while it was on sale for $729 with a free hand pump. I was planning on either an M-Rod or Armada, but with the sale price, I opted for the Gunnar. My main draw was the larger bottle. Overall, I am extremely happy. I will say, I HATE the stock. I tried to replace it with a Magpul PRS, but unfortunately had to pull it due to the castle but that Benjamin uses blocking the bolt that holds the stock on. I need to make a trip to the gun store and buy a new castle nut SOON. I also am not a fan of the single bolt that holds the Pic rail on the bottom of the rifle. It’s not as secure and suffers from more movement than I would like. Both left and right as well as flex.

I’m hoping to hit the range some this weekend and will carry over my thoughts posted here into a new thread in the Benjamin section.
