    Tunged a Blonde Beech

    Benjamin sent me a stock with scratches. I used a razor blade to scratch off the thin & terrible looking finish and then followed up with sandpaper 180g. (It was this dry method vs Citristrip.

    Benjamin Warranty Experience.

    Sent my SAM Marauder in for warranty repair for leaking air. I had a nicely grain figured original wood stock that I stripped and refinished with 100% tung oil (UV hardened) and it gave a really nice reddish hue color.

    Which Caliber for 100-125yd Ground Squirrel Kills? .22 or .25?

    I have a Benjamin Marauder SAM .22 shooting 16gr pellets at 800fps. I want to effectively kill ground squirrels out to 100-125yds. Will a .25 cal Marauder do it better, or stick with the .22? ETA: Is there a better value priced and performance .25 PCP rifle I should look at?
