    Those are some wicked looking pellets. Always wanted a powerline 880 as a kid or a Benjamin.

    Hell yeah! I bought a Benjamin at a yard sale with my Grandmother, for $15, when I was about 10. That was the baddest BB gun on the planet. Even killed a possum with it one time.

    I killed a bunch of town critters with my chrome crossman .22 pelet gun...it would thump 'em, but I did always want me a benjamin. I've still got time.

    You putting it on dry ice and sending it to Head?
    When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home. -Tecumseh-

    I'll always have a great fondness for the Crosman 760 Pump Master, probably the best all around bb/pellet gun ever made.
    But like others have said, I also had a Benjamin Sheridan .20 cal pellet rifle that was an absolute killing machine. I found mine in the trash can
    Someone threw it away because the bolt/chamber tube had separated from the rest of the receiver. I used a metal hose clamp to hold it together and it shot fine for many years and the little .20 cal conical pellets were absolutely nasty on feral cats.

    Benjamins are bad medicine on rabid coons, no doubt. Good killing on the illegal immigrant.

    My mom would take contracts out on cowbirds and house sparrows when I was at home. They would kill the blue birds for their house. Fun times.

    Ive noticed a steady decline in house sparrows over the years. When I was a kid, grocery story parking lots and farmyards were eat with them. They nested in the rafters and the signs on the stores - made a big mess. I dont see them like that so much anymore. For a while, it seemed like house finches were taking their place, but they've declined as well. Somethings taking a toll on all of them.

    Good job.

    My pappa had a bounty on crows, blue jays and wood peckers. They’d eat his pecans. Pecans paid the property taxes, and funded Santa Claus.

    As a kid I shot a quail on the covey rise with my benjamin, I killed my first duck with mine also. A gwt drake that sitting in a little flooded part of a bean field beside my grandmothers house. I also shot a doe in the back of the head when she jumped up in front of me. She carried it and I was heartbroken. No one would even believe that I even saw a deer in that part of Clarendon county at that time.

    I can supply the asphalt. I drive though Belton daily and there’s big ol chunks of it laying around everywhere.
