got my new to me but kinda well worn in blue streak out today. haven't really shot it at all. shot it a couple of times to make sure it held air and shot, but that was it. with all the new pcp's it was almost forgotten, that quickly.....how sad. it too seems to like the yellow box of benji cylindrical pellets. not a show piece. i now have 1 streak that shoots to the right after full adjustment, and 1 that shoots to the left. maybe the next one will throw them right down the pipe.
4 shot groups. 10 pumps. just to see if there was any if much pellet preference. only draw back to these are the pumping. pcp's have forever corrupted me.

Those are some cool old guns for sure. If it wont adjust anymore the way you need it to go, you could experiment with bending the front sight. Its worked for me in the past.

If it weren't for that tight hole by the 'classic'yellow tin sheridan ammo, I'd be worried about the rifling!
*EDIT* just re-checked photo and you wrote yellow + benji? Guess I assumed it was the old ammo, sorry.
Also i think sheridans are meant to be pumped 8x.
Try the 'newer' uglier benjamin cyclindericals at 5x,6x,7x pumps. For some reason they shoot well in mine.
If no tightening of the hole. Try one last time 3x pumps at 10m, and if that fails... you're outa luck cause they don't make new sheridan ammo

it was the old sheridan yellow plastic box ammo. it shoots pretty good. at least as good as my eyes will accommodate. both this one and the silver streak i have group fairly well, its just i run out of adjustment horizontally on both.
they aren't bad. definitely will shoot minute of crow or minute of squirrel. i may have to put a scope back on one or both.
i was most impressed with the trigger on the older blue streak. it's pretty light and crisp break. i had to do a lot of filing and work on the newer silver streak to get a decent trigger.
nothing against the gun. i think all of the groups i shot could be better. me and my eyes are the limiting factor. if i had wedged in the sand bag and with a scope, i would expect more.

Yup, between the soldered barrel to tube connection and the relationship of bore centerline to the breech or sights or peep, many of these Benji / Sheris shoot off center or off POA.
Scoped all of mine due to old eyes and not wanting to "($*#&@" sights or barrels.
