Distance is 23 yards. Offhand needs some serious work.....I chrony'd it the other day and it is running rather anemic. 485 FPS was the best it would do, but that was only a few shots for a test. New seals and a solder on the barrel that had separated. I put the peep sight on years ago as the original fell off and it actually contributes to the dreaded separation. Bought this new in 1986 and round count is probably close to 6.5 billion....of all my rifles, pistols and other gadgets, this brings a smile to my face like no other. I feel like a kid every time I shoot! I'll keep working on it and see if I can get a little more performance from Betsy. Good luck and good shooting fellow goon squad members!
Kinda looks like a Sheridan...either Blue Streak or Silver Streak. They were more expensive than a Benjamin. Buddy of mine had the Sheridan, I had the Benjamin. HIs was .20, mine was .22. 10 pumps was up to magnum velocity! We lived on the outskirts of town on our own acreage but back then (1960) no one really cared if you climbed their fence. We killed a shit load of cottontails, jack rabbits, lizards, road runners, quail, dove, horny toads, hawks, skunks......some loose chickens MIGHT have been saved a grisly death by skink or coyote. Thanks for bring back an almost forgotten memory for an old man!

Indeed it is a Bluestreak! Not out of the woods yet with this old girl and she developed some serious issues the day after I posted this range report. I'm working on it.....she hits with authority that's for sure!
