Lol, I just came in from scrooging around with the old Crosman 760...was attempting to demonstrate to the wife why that gun is NOT going to cut it. I may have shot myself in the foot, no pun intended. It won't shoot a sub 6-7" group at 10 yards with the old Copperhead red-dot sight on it, but she thinks "that's good enough." Sigh. I dragged out that old Chinesium lever cocker, sprayed a little WD-40 on it and although the seals at the breech are totally rotted away, the dang thing still shoots and is way more accurate than the 760...but still not good enough. I managed 3 inch-ish groups at about 50 feet with it and iron sights.
Wife claims I'll be coming home tomnorow to a pile of dead birds. I am praying I come home to a wife asking questions about PCP rifles because I know after she keeps missing and having to pump that 760, she isn't going to like it anymore.
That Benjamin Maximus looks good and I like the idea of all the adjustability (I like to tinker). I also like that it is US made too. "IF" she comes around, then I think that is the rifle I'll go for.
Well, I certainly appreciate everyone's input and help. I'll be sure to let you know how things go
