great air rifle,
June 24, 2009 W. Batson "bladelvr" (greenville SC) - See all my reviews
The benjamin 397 is an awesome air rifle. Most manufacturers are so concerned with the 1000 fps mark that they put accuracy and build quality in second and third place as their goals....The only issue that I have with the benjamin is the lack of a rail or dovetail for scope mounts. Though it does have some the the best iron sights you'll find on any pellet rifle other than "match-grade" types on the truly high-end models...The trigger pull is pretty gritty on mine but has smoothed out a bit. Cock and "dry fire" it but DONT pump it. This will help smooth out the trigger...
All said, this is a tried and true model that has been around longer than I have (I'm 36). That says alot for the design alone. I got it to thin out the squirrels that were shredding my bird feeders and let me tell you....It's a killer!!.....one shot to the upper half of the body and it's all over...done..
Get it. you wont regret it.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Crosman Benjamin 397 .177 Caliber Bolt Action Variable Pump Rifle with Hardwood Stock and forearm (Sports)
Quality product, nice hard wood stock made in the USA. Not all of their products are. I was a bit disappointed that they don't label their product prominently. I bought a Korean made gun (I could not get an American big bore) and it was nicely and prominently stamped with the product name & manufacturer.

We've gotten great use out of this pellet rifle. The person we bought it from went above and beyond with customer service and care.
