Differences between Sheridan 392P & 397P

(1/2) > >>

SILENT SQUIRREL:
Hello
Considering getting a pumper
I'd like to know what the differences are between then Benjami Sheridan 397P & 392P, please.
Also, considering equal condition, is one to be preferred over the other?
Thanks
Edward

Do you mean besides the caliber? The 397 is .177 and the 392 is .22 respectively. I have a 397 I bought in a package deal, I like it well enough but for these old eyes the dang .177 pellets are too small.

Thanks @brewbear.
You have revealed the depth of my ignorance about them
I did not even know of the caliber difference.
Are they essentially the same rifle in different calibers?

If so, I'd consider the 397 for my purposes.
Plinking and back yard pesting, within 20 yards

brewbear:
I don't have a 392 but I can tell you the 397 in walnut stock is pretty nice.  Pumping, like any other pampers gets harder with the count. I shoot mine with 3 pumps, general plinking. iIt s an adult size rifle, I put a Williams peep sight on mine and it is pretty good even for these old eyes. It is accurate if I do my part but lately I've been playing with the Peacemakers so I haven't shot the rifles all that much.

TennX:
      The new synthetic 392 and I would imagine 397 is hard to pump past 4 pumps @ least for me….my 2014 392 seems easier…and my 1994 397 is one of my favorites….good luck
