They were back-ordered almost everywhere and AOA had a great price, inspected, tested, and shipped for about $140. Pictures when I get it.

Have fun Al _________________   Posted: Tue Feb 26, 2013 9:45 am radar Silver Status Member Joined: 13 Nov 2011 Posts: 1138 Location: Des Moines, Iowa, USA Thanks Al! Yeah I'll put a scope on it, or maybe a peep sight. I have heard or read somewhere that they are relatively hard to pump up fully because of the leverage on the pump handle or something. We'll see. Supposed to be accurate though. cheers Rob _________________ It's never too late to have a happy childhood.   Posted: Tue Feb 26, 2013 3:24 pm Big Ern Veteran Member Joined: 31 Aug 2011 Posts: 357 Location: Miami Fl. Those are beautiful rifles, they had then on Amazon a while back.   Posted: Tue Feb 26, 2013 7:36 pm radar Silver Status Member Joined: 13 Nov 2011 Posts: 1138 Location: Des Moines, Iowa, USA They did? Missed it. I like doing business with AOA anyway, you can call and talk to a real person. I think they look cool, and I'm not even a fan of the look or feel of synthetic stocks. _________________ It's never too late to have a happy childhood.   Posted: Tue Feb 26, 2013 8:38 pm lampy Veteran Member Joined: 04 Aug 2012 Posts: 297 Location: South Dakota I looked at those, being a fan of the pumpers I'm looking forward to hearing what you think about it. _________________ Too many projects to list.   Posted: Tue Feb 26, 2013 9:59 pm robert w Senior Member Joined: 12 Feb 2012 Posts: 574 Location: usa idea is a new gun in the house no matter what its always a great feeling to get a new gun congrats radar _________________ ,crosman 400,gamo big cat in .22, diana 5g,diana 54 air king, diana 34 in .22 diana 34 in .177, wilrauch hw-55,and a romainian pioner training rifle , and a huge collection of powder burners 35 last count . 1 would think i have a gun store   Posted: Wed Feb 27, 2013 7:44 am radar Silver Status Member Joined: 13 Nov 2011 Posts: 1138 Location: Des Moines, Iowa, USA Thanks Robert.

They still have 4 of them for $129 and free shipping.   Posted: Thu Feb 28, 2013 9:00 am radar Silver Status Member Joined: 13 Nov 2011 Posts: 1138 Location: Des Moines, Iowa, USA $13.50 less than I paid with shipping an all, but again, AOA is good to deal with. Apparently, they open and test each one before shipping to make sure it's working right. I'm happy. cheers Rob _________________ It's never too late to have a happy childhood.   Posted: Mon Mar 04, 2013 9:04 pm radar Silver Status Member Joined: 13 Nov 2011 Posts: 1138 Location: Des Moines, Iowa, USA Its here! Impressive weight and feel...not at all like a Walmart pump-up. Feels more like a Sheridan to pick up and point, even though it has synthetic stock and receiver. I threw a scope on it, but it was too dark to shoot. It says FAC on it, indicating the power level is greater than the standard, non-FAC version that is sold without license in England. (Those non-FAC versions apparently have an anti-tamper pin that limits adjustment of swept volume of the pump.) cheers Rob _________________ It's never too late to have a happy childhood.   Posted: Tue Mar 05, 2013 2:22 am BBgunNoob Veteran Member Joined: 18 Dec 2008 Posts: 327 Location: Pa Nice   Posted: Tue Mar 05, 2013 3:07 pm oddtodd Silver Status Member Joined: 30 Dec 2008 Posts: 2029 Location: Richmond, IN USA You suck! lol Just kidding.

I want one now! lol LOL. No you don't. I wish I'd spent a few bucks more for another Benjamin, actually. Hard as hell to pump, even harder to load without tweezers and a magnifying glass. And mine has shot craps already and has to be sent back. It won't pump up. The air just shoots out the barrel with every stroke. I got maybe 25 shots out of it in total. cheers, Rob _________________ It's never too late to have a happy childhood.
