I picked a beat up version of one of these at a pawnshop several years back for $15. I brought it home tore it apart. Refinished the wood stock and gave it a polish and tune. It came out amazing! You gotta love a garage sale find. You can pick up some really great deals. Especially on springers because so many folks can't, or won't take the time to learn how to shoot one correctly. Often times they figure "if it don't handle like my 10/22..." it langishes in a closet for the rest of its days. Or till garage sale day. That's when airgunners swoop in like vultures...

I bought the same rifle in 2012 for $316 at Gander Mountain.

First serious airgun for me was 2018 Benjamin Trail NP XL .22. Visited airgunning neighbor for suggestions with armadillo problem, ended up buying for $25. Neighbor said too heavy, hard to cock with no accuracy, was glad to be rid of. Good cleaning, trigger modification, learning "artillery" hold and finding preferred pellet led to decent 25-yard groups. Hits hard but 27-pound cocking effort gets old fast. XL has 27mm nitro piston while standard is 25mm, think less is better, in this case. Best of Luck, WM
