I don't know about the others, but the Caldwell says accurate to .25% on the box. I can't imagine that temp or pressure can have much effect on the instrument itself, but they sure can on the rifle/pistol. As Avator said, consistency is most important. Cheers, J~

You'll find more info on the Crosman 114 here - https://support.crosman.com/hc/en-us/articles/203543140-114-Owner-s-Manual-1950-1955 A little dinking around on their website will probably tell you all you want to know. Cool rifle! Here too. -...

Well... You've sold me on not getting a PCP arm. Cheers, J~

Grapes, acorns and asian pears are everywhere here this time of year. Cheers, J~

Good thread. My Sheridan identifies as a fifth generation Toyota Hi-Lux (pickup truck) with a 22r engine. I've had a Corolla and a Tercel. (Did you know that you can put a new clutch in a Tercel without pulling the engine?) Cheers, J~

That's cool! If it ain't broke (anymore) don't replace it. Cheers, J~

Yeah, that confused me as well. (I had to look them up.) He meant Benjamin-Sheridans. I don't consider them to be Sheridans because they're a mash up of Sheridan and Benjamin designs. Cheers, J~

Three or four pumps is plenty for plinking. Here's what I've compiled with what I have. This gun is a little bit tired. I'm not aware of any that aren't 20 caliber. Cheers, J~
