Wow! I still have a Sheridan Silver Streak I bought in 1975 for about $37.00. The Blue Streak was $3.00 less.
And, 6 pumps and a shot through the heart would have brought it down with one pellet. My brother shot an armadillo with his back around 1976. 1 shot through the shell took him down.
My Silver Streak is still very accurate. I have not adjusted the sights in probably 40 years or so...
I started hunting...(killing birds) with a Benjamin Sheridan. If I would have known the addiction it would lead to...I would have taken up basket weaving...
