for hunting squirrels, benjamin 392, or 397.If I were an accurate shooter, say to 40 yards, which would be better? I know fps isnt all there is to it. I know .22 transfers more energy. The 392 just seems a little low in power to me for hunting, but the energy transfer probably makes up for it. I like .22 airguns, and am leaning towards the 392, but I want to get the right gun for the job. [ cause I would hate to have to get them both! when funds allow it. ] HELP, PLEASE.

Either one should do well but the 392 has plenty of power given the proper distance. I wouldn't be using either gun for 40yd shots though. Inside 30yds it should be ok.
You have plenty of squirrel guns, the CFX, the Viper, etc. I prefer springers over pumpers. Pumping scares all the critters away or lets them know where you are or that you 're coming.

Thanks for the info. Aftwer I posted that, I was laying in bed thinking, 40 yards? Did I type 40 yards? It would be much closer.
