I have a Benji Super Streak .22 {I changed the barrel from 177} and really like it. I did have to put the brass pivot washers in and put a bearing in the trigger. Did a complete tune really. But it is in a different category than a 34. It is a much more powerfull springer so you cant really compare the two. From what I've read the 34 is a fine gun. Probably the favorite of many here. But I have a Benji SS and a Hatsan 125 and have no need for a 34. I like the power of my guns and have both shooting very accurately. I like that they are big and heavy , however if a 34 meets your power needs and the idea of carrying a heavy gun for some hours in the field isn't something you like then you would definitely like a 34 better. Also there is a much better chance that the 34 will shoot better out of the box.
There is no way I would trade either of my guns for a 34. But I'm probably in the minority here.
I was wondering if anyone knew the differences in the x-50 in 25 that Jacob was referring to. Maybe a link to some info.

I have a x50 in .25. So far seems pretty accurate. Now mind you I haven't shot it pass 40 yds. Plenty of power. Loves jsb exact kings, hates Benjamin domed. Just did a lube job on it. Internals are BEEFY. Only downfall would be the trigger. The creep is bad but is doable. Nice scope. Cocking is smooth after moly paste and lots of oil from factory.

Well she has settled down after deseing off the little moly paste. This doesn't say much but, at ten yards(longest I can go in my basement😞) I put a single dot the size of the sharpie tip on paper. Just put 5 jsb kings through it😎 stoked to see at further distances. I know they are not going to be the same as 10yds, hopefully does ok. Only prob is that its a long drive to bosses house(he has land) can't seem to find a range that will allow air rifles 😒

My X50 in .25 is accurate as well. I am still breaking it in. But as of now it likes SilverBears.

Got outside yesterday, distance is 20yds.(furthest I can do in my backyard). Five shots, can't wait to see what she will do at further distances.
How can I post a pic? Tried and said it was too big, cropped the &^^& out of it and still said it was too big?
Got it😃
