Do you mean the Beeman P17?

If you are seeking the popular bargain priced single stroke pump pistol it's a Beeman P-17 not a Benjamin. As far as I know it is still available though there may be no super deals running at the moment.

Yes, it was a long day yesterday, it's a Beeman for sure ;- )
I shot it today and for some reason my accuracy was not up to snuff. I'm heading out to work tomorrow to see how she shoots in our warehouse. I have 20 yards to see how she does, I'm hoping for smaller than a tennis ball groups. I'm using Crosman Premier 7.9gr pellets so we shall see.

Crosman pellets are harder, (with antimony), be sure to try some softer pellets. I have great luck with Spanish made Daisy wads. JMHO

My P17s seem to like wadcutters.
RWS Basic 7.0 gr.
excite ECON II
The Spanish Daisy Flat-Nosed are a little hard to load.
Sig Wadcutters, I think they are 8.19 gr?
Try several types of pellets.
NONE of my many guns shoot good with Crosman Premier 7.9gr pellets.
