The Pump-Assist modification lowers the pumping effort to 12 to 14 lbs. Instead of the 30+ lbs. of effort required for the final strokes of an unmodified gun, the pumping effort of the Pump-Assist never increases. Perfect for those who wish to scope this rifle, because you can hold it at the pistol grip and pump it with ease. Also ideal for shooters of smaller stature and those with limited physical capabilities! An American classic!
The Benjamin 397 .177 cal. rifle is a multi-pump pneumatic. The hardwood Monte Carlo stock is sleek and lightweight. The rifled brass barrel is finished in black and sends pellets screaming at 800 fps! You can vary the velocity by the number of pumps (up to 8). The 397 is ideal for plinking, target shooting, slapping spinners and popping paper targets. In fact, we predict this gun will become one of your favorites. Although this gun has been made for decades, the manufacturer continues to put extra fine details in the rifle, such as a swelling in the forearm to make it easier to pump and a fully adjustable rear sight.
You can put a scope on the 397, but you'll want to use the B272 intermount to do that.
To scope this gun, you'll need an intermount. The Crosman intermount has an 11mm dovetail. The others are Weaver rails. Match up the right rings with the intermount you select!
