I downloaded a weekly match target to be shot at 10 yds offhand 20 shots from another forum. The winning scores week to week were in the high 180s/200. I shot two targets a 193 and 194 from slightly longer 10 meters. I did not even bother to submit them.

Here you go -dont have fresh chrony readings nor groups. Bought this new in 2003 Steriod/trigger "tuned" . It was down for a several years but finally got to replace pump cup and orings and boy does it again shoot hard and accurate.I was cursing this thing out for a long time but have since asked for it to forgive me.Always keep it half cocked with two pumps in it and pivots still gets the secret sauce, it seems happy again!
Perhaps not the most flashy AG in my past or present collection of toys but very effective again after this long rest . Bought it with Williams peep and it worked well until treads starts giving me problems and wanted to try some scoping, Williams still work well but my aging eyes likes scopes!. First I had a 3-9 x 40 but too big and simply not a good match but the smaller long eye relief pistol scopes work well at the shorter ranges . Trigger is still far far from being great but it is OK . I use HN match and at 20 yards rested I can do 1/2 inch groups without too much effort. As we all know these are funny little things that somehow and despite it all still work well .
Pretty much the way it was issued (about 1978). Had a spare hand guard (I think and old co2 F came with one, for no good reason I could think of...so just used two on the C...which may be why the finish isn't worn form pumping).

Tested it with all the 5mm pellets I had on hand about 4 years ago. Settled on Benjamin Cylindrical, sighted in, and haven't had to change anything. JSB's shoot as well or better, didn't have any back then...but considering my eyes and peep sights, will just stick with the Benjamins.

Sorry...not one for taking pictures of dead critters.

My 10 yr old blue streak, added a butt pad because I hated the way it slipped around when shouldered.
Refinished the wood, Williams peep sight, softened up the springs in the trigger then found an old article on the super sear. I made my own & fiddled with it until it was perfect. Such a smooth trigger now I can't believe it.

dad got it for me as 13 year old for xmas...brings back memories..used to hunt doves overseas with it...like your danz alot nice wood... maybe with a refinish mine would look better. my Benji 342 has great wood like yourz.
These are two of my favorite ag's. With the paint removed from the barrels these are deadly on squirrel. Scopes are NC Star 2.5x20, not too good for targets but like I said murder on tree rats.
