My guess is it weighed a solid 23-25 pounds, perhaps bigger. I should have weighed it and taken better pictures. It wasn't as heavy as my 35 lbs dumbells, but far heavier than my 20 lbs ones. I suspect it got fat on several chickens that had disappeared in recent months. That Benjamin probably only shoots about 575 to 600 FPS at 7 pumps. Still plenty of ZAP with those round nose pellets.
