About six months ago I laid out a couple hundred bucks for a Benjamin model 392 multi pump because it reminded me of the one I had when I was a kid. The Williams peep sight and the pellet trap cost me about another bill.
The rifle doesn.t like Vortex pellet as well as Crossman Premiers. The vortex pellets seemed like I was cutting them every time I closed the bolt. They would through flyers and just were not that accurate. The Crossman's are super accurate in this gun. I have never benched tested it but off my Bog sticks it will shoot one ragged whole at 30 feet.
I wish it had a better trigger, for a pellet gun it isn't to heavy but has some creep (I am spoiled by the 2.5lb triggers on my lever guns). I don't care for the high comb on the stock but I have adjusted.
It has been a great investment as I can cheaply shoot everyday at the indoor range (hallway) and it has improved my Lever Silhouette shooting.
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

Re: 2000 round report
Thanks for that great 2000 round report leverjc. I'm glad you enjoy your 392. I like mine. They are very accurate with the right pellet. The Williams Peep sight was a nice addition. I like your "indoor range" too. Very nice.

Re: 2000 round report
I thought you shot 2,000 rounds in one session.

Re: 2000 round report
Good for you. We have some vintage 397Ps that we shoot and have benched. A couple are PCP accurate at 30 yards. Check some of the air gun forums for trigger mods on these current Benjamin pumpers. These classic pumpers are still very popular and a great way to get into air gunning without spending the big bucks.
