| Anyone shoot a Sheridan air rifle? I just pulled my Sheridan Blue Streak out of my safe and started shooting it again. What a nice air gun! I bought it new in 1976 and was the envy of my friends when I was a teenager. It still works well but I'm going to send it to Henry Ford for a refresh. What a nice air rifle though, they are very well made with a walnut stock, .20 caliber bronze barrel, and Bronze receiver. They are quite accurate too! |

| I bought a silver streak in 1987 NIB at a store going out of business for $75. Clamped a long eye relief Leopold 2x pistol scope on the barrel and added a Williams peep sight when the scope isn't on it. Love this thing. Accurate for squirrels and it seems the old antique box of .20 cal. Sheridan pellets I have hit harder, than the nitro piston 22 cal. rifle I have. Liked the rifle, so I bought a 22 cal. Sheridan pump pistol for $100 NIB. Has wood furniture on both. My daughter loves shooting the pistol as long as I pump it up for her. |

I've still got the SilverStreak I learned how to shoot on as a kid. I had to do an alcohol clean last year, but afterwards it shoots fine again! Still on factory seals to my knowledge.... mid 60's build! I added a Williams peep sight, and it was a significant improvement over the factor rear sight. |

Yes. i have one, love it. Williams peep site upgrade is a must. I got one of the last generation with the metal trigger on clearence years ago. Absolutely deadly for the rabbits in my garden. Oh, i have a half a box of the yellow ones. .20 cal |
Hell on miniature trout and short round women.

| My cousin had a silver streak. I wanted one but got a Benjamin 342 instead because I already had a couple .22s. I still have one made in the early 80's. Re-sealed it a few years ago and it still thumps. When everything else was plastic, Benjamin/Sheridan was still putting out walnut and bronze. Very classy. |
