Accuracy tips or tricks for an 8 year old Benji 392?

[Don.Chipmunk-slayer]

I'm going to buy the rifle offered to me by another forum member and since these 392's have plenty of punch to begin with, I'm going to concentrate on improving the accuracy. It already has a Williams Peep on it, but he's including scope mounts and I'm going to pick up a good scope for the rifle.

Other than playing with pellets (weight/type/brand) and plying with the number of pumps to find the 'sweet spot' in the power-band is there anything else I can do to tighten up the accuracy?

I would just shoot it first and ask questions later because you might like it just the way it is and you may be a natural good shot. Its a pump up pneumatic so you don't need any special hold to get it to shoot good. I would shoot at 20 yards from a good stable rest with 4-5 pumps to start and get a good feel for the gun.

Go shoot it first then post a review.

I'm decent. I was tagging chippies with frightening regularity at up to 30 - 40 feet with my 1377 carbine.

You have an excellent point though, since I've never actually fired this rifle, it would make sense to see what kind of shooter it is before messing with it, other than changing the optics.

You need to be careful if you put a scope on it as the breech is soldered to the tube and a heavy scope or a mishap banging it on something could tear it loose from the gun. Baker makes a decent scope mount for the gun. Think light and small.

I plan on getting the T/C scope from Crosman as recommended in another post. The seller is including the Crosman scope mounts with the gun, so I was planning on using those until I can afford the Baker mount (I'm lucky the wife didn't say no to the rifle, but asking for "extras" now would be pushing my luck LOL).
