Pagosa springs
Hey everybody I picked up a Benjamin vaporizer last week and after changing the heavy sear spring out for a light one I have been breaking it in. You can see in the pictures that after about 400 rounds it's starting to settle in, all shots were taken with Crosman premier dome 10.5's off of sandbags, yes sandbags lol at 25 yards.

Congrats on the new gun!

These guns tend to shoot relatively hot once settled in, usually around 18ftlbs in .177 (at lower elevations). The Vaporizer, Ironhide and Valiant all share the same 29mm power plant, definitely keep to pellets in the 10.5gr range for best results, especially beyond 40 yards. A healthy example will send 7.9gr cphp's down range a little better than 1000fps (@ muzzle), in the right conditions you can watch them start to spiral at about 45y... Keep the barrel pivot bolt snug and you should have a decent shooter there. Enjoy!

Just realized the OP posted in March...😅 Hope they enjoy it anyways
