Hey Ed. I've had one for about3 months now and it's my "go-to" AG for hunting. Mine is .177 but I have a .22 barrel on order and should ship the 18th of this month. Can't wait for it. This is aheavy gun but personally, I like a nice stout piece of furniture. To me it absorbs recoil and torque better than a synthetic variety. I have done a home tune on mine but plan on opening it up again for more touch-up. I'm learning more and more.

The wood on this gun is excellent quality. I like the checkering, monogram and etched name in the foregrip. I like the long barrel since it helps in not only cocking this beast but IMHO a longer barrel results inbetter accuracy. Mine is a tack driver at 25 yards. It will stack CP Ultra Mags. It averages about 18-18.5 fpe output and I've taken tree rats at 50+ yards no problem. The supplied scope is very good also.

If you buy from Pyramyd, be sure to try a discount code. I used "winter2009" but not sure if it's still valid after yesterday. They have the best price available right now. I highly recommend this AG and would buy it all over again. My son-in-law picked it up and shot it as his first springer. We were popping suckers and paintballs at 25 yards and having a blast. He fell in love with it. The GRTIII trigger is highly recommended as well as a home or Gene tune. That will make it a SWEET shooter. If you don't mind the weight, stop hovering and press that button.

Happy Shooting!!!!

I have the SS in 22 cal. and I like the looks and feel of the gun without a doubt.  Mine was a monster out of the box but after about 600 rounds it has started to calm down and I feel like it could be made a great shooter with somemore work.  Gun is twangy at first and tough to cock, it has a heavy spring in it.  The recoil is fairly heavy with this gun too, need to check your scope mounts and adjusting turrent lockdowns regularly while shooting this gun. Never did try mine with the open sights, old age and deteriorating vision make the open sights pretty useless to me anymore.  The Centerpoint scope that comes with the gun looks great and performs excellent, the only drawback is the eye relief on the scope is short and hard to get it just right for me at least.  The glass is clear and powerful, and the illuminated recticle is a neat feature.  If you do get one don't waste your time with a 15 gr. or less pellet, you need something with some mass in this gun to keep it controlable.  Mine shoots 1" groups at 25 yards with JSB Exact Heavies 18.2 gr. and this is the best pellet I have found for this gun and only got these in about 2 week ago and was really impressed with the performance of the gun since then.  The only thing I have done to my gun is clean it and drop in Bobs' (aka. Charliedatuna) GRT-III trigger, this is a must have.  If you order this gun go ahead and order the trigger at the same time from Bob and get you some heavy pellets with it and save yourself some time and missery going thru the light weight stuff that is available at the local Wally world and sporting goods stores.  I don't know what the best price is on-line for this gun, but I got mine at the local Academy for 260.00 about 4 months ago, with shipping and all it may be about the same (and you don't have to wait for the brown Santa to bring it).  Without the GRT-III trigger this gun is a big dissapointment, DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT even consider buying this gun without ordering this trigger!!!!  Bob is one of the greatest gentlemen you'll ever have the pleasure of doing business with and his reputation for helpfulness and integrity are above and beyond those of any other I have had the privilage to associate with even if only thru this forum and my own purchases.  Go ahead and punch the button and get that baby on order, I don't think you'll be sorry you did IMHO.  Good luck and let us know what comes of it when you do.  Happy New Year.

IN LESS THAN 5 MONTH I HAD 2 BEJAMING SHERIDAN SUPER STREAK .177  WITH BROKEN SPRING. I SOLD IT AS SOON I GET THE 3RD RIFLE REPLACEMENT FROM WARRANTY /GERALD

[ledtone]

Id save youre money get a rws 350 mag in the classifieds you can buy them, all day long for under $300  and there way better gun  tr iggers  are not even compareable stay away from chinese stuff that costs over $200 youd be better of with a tech force 89 contender for the money imo

[pindog2000]

i agree the 89 is a good shooter and also airgundepot has the rws sale and refurbs or get a mike melick b-26 or b-28

I don't really shoot mine.It's kind of a "hey check out this beast"gun.mines in .22 and shoots good enough but is heavy and beats the poop out of ya in a short time also mine is very hold sensitive.

[shootist]

These guns are hammers!! Mine in .22 does 26.8fpe!! Don't know of many .22's doing that. Lee
