I just ordered a Benjamin 397 from amazon

[Guest]

and can't wait for it to get here. $139 advertised, $20 off at checkout, free shipping and just 7.49 for tax. Pretty good deal if you as me. Same price/deal for the the 392 as well.

Nice, I hope you enjoy it. I bought one from Cabela's a few months back when they were on sale. I like it a lot, can't group well with it to save my life, but really like it. I bought the Williams rear peep sight from Pyramyd. It's a nice addition, and fit perfectly (some complain of fitment issues, I had none). Let me know if you have accuracy issues, could just be my aging eyes don't like open sights anymore....best of luck with your new pumper, the wood especially is very nice!

Jim Giles at Crooked Barn assembled the pieces of a 397 (top) and i added a BE#1 scope mount with Leaper 4x mildot.......most accurate benji ive owned shoots CPHP great
The lower is a 342 ive had for over 30 years...has a nice patina and still shoots good... FYI it likes RWS Hobbys best

love my 397 can you change thhe breech to accomdate scope MTS? thanks

I cant speak for all 397, mines older and the breech is fixed (soldered)) but the "ballistic engineering" scope mount fits anything shaped like this and slides over the breech and secures with set screws



If you want an BE#1 Mount http://stores.ebay.com/bakerairguns/ just bought another one for my new 392.
