Other Which pumper did you shoot today?
- Thread starter MEC17670
- Start date
I've had one replaced, and suffer with the other one.Got some pumpers I'll likely never sell, but I'm starting to doubt that I ever buy another, due to pain in my right shoulder that won't go away.
It helps mine to rest my arm across my head for some reason?

This ol' gal still shoots — only a dozen pellets in as many years…. prolly should pass it on soon, before I do…

Sheridan Model B “Sporter”— previously Ted Osborn's rifle (RIP), rebuilt by Tim Jones.
Very nice trigger, fun to shoot, and hard hitting!

The 55 Bluestreak, which has developed a small leak.
It doesn't effect plinking with 4 pumps, but 8 pumps are down on power, and its not holding air over night.

More of the same, and more.
The 55 Bluestreak shot great. It held air this time for a week. It’s my favorite Bluesteak to shoot because it’s so slender and comfortable, as well as all the other things that Bluestreaks are.
The 65 shot high and right? I have no idea why. I have to see what ammo I shot last. I set it for 75 yards with five strokes, since I was half way there anyway.
Then I zeroed my HW75. I had stole the rings off of it for a Kidd 10/22 build I have going.
Shooting into the dirt to see my hits, my first shot was high and left. I put 180 degree turn of down, and about a third of the turret of right, and wound up one inch left of bullseye. Three shots, and I was hitting shot shells. I was happy about that because I was racing the sun.

Crosman 362 converted to 17. The barrel shoots way above it's pay grade and the three screw trigger mod is a nice improvement,

Newly acquired 1991 Benjamin 397P, 177 caliber. Went through it and did a degrease/grease and a trigger tune. Refinished the Walnut stock. Shot it for a function check. Williams peep sight is coming today and the accuracy test is next. Benjamin certainly made a quality pumper in these days.

I just picked up a Benjamin 397P. A transition gun made in 1991. Went through the gun yesterday. Trigger tune, degrease/grease, lube and refinished the stock. Today, I installed the Williams sight. Took probably 25 shots to get it sighted in. This is my final 5 shot group with CPHP at 35 yards and four pumps. Two dead center and one just off the orange. Quite gusty here today. With my tired eyes, I say it’s a shooter.

I had the 1377 out for a minute, followed by the 1322. Always amazing to see how well these pistols shoot, the 1377 really likes Polly Mags, and the 1322 seems to favor Crosman Premiers .

Dragonfly II, which I just got last week. It is in .22 and my fascination with the accuracy and power at 15 pumps, aided by a pumping mechanism that stays the same low effort for each pump, caused me to add a moderator to keep the neighbors happy. It was already a large and heavy rifle, now longer still with the suppressor, but there is something magical about it. Despite its size and weight, it balances nicely for offhand shooting as well as being very stable on the bench.
