The Benjamin is quiet. A thunk then a smack. Not as much noise as a nail gun.

After seeing that one on a black Friday sale for 69.00 I looked into the 1000X version in .25 with the better stock. (200.00+/-)

Honestly I can match it's performance with the TS22 (21.8gr.) pellets in my .22 Gamo, once the target gets past 20 yards.   The best 30+yard groups I've seen from the Hatsan Vortex .25  are borderline shameful.   I'm just not that impressed with the short range power since I can already deliver 15ft/lb at 15 yards with the .22

Most of my shots are 25 yards and beyond.  That's why I was curious what kinda catalog damage your .25 will do at 25+ yards, and what kinda groups you can get at real world hunting ranges.  I don't get many 15 yard shots in the woods around here.

The more i read on that gun the less im impressed. Got the new Hawke scope in yesterday but i leave before daylight and home after dark this week. Leaving to visit mom in Tx. in the morning but hoping to be back early enough Sunday to mount it and shoot. The first outing i will get that shot for ya.  

Speaking of scope delivery. This is how a scope is supposed to be packaged. Hawke did a great job with boxing.  Love everything about this scope in hand.

Here is some Gamo .22 phone book damage.  Shots at 30 and 40 yards with both 15.9gr. and 18.1gr. pellets.  

Complete pass-thru with both pellets at both ranges, with the 18gr. ripping a noticably bigger exit hole on the 40 yd. shots.

Is the back page ironic or just practical for l of o? 

Maybe the phone book appeals to the demographic?

impressive results nonetheless. I wouldn’t have guessed pass thru.

Actually I was kinda afraid to post a pic of the back of the book.  These guys look like they might sue (under the "no graven images" clause), and I don't need that !

On highway 44 Eastbound around Sullivan maybe? There’s a billboard that reads :

”Trouble on the River?” Call Mazzelli and Broshot”

of course for the St. Louis crowds one way trip back home from all the canoe rentals hotspots.
