22 for fur

177 for feathers

no problem taking out pests at 15-20 meters. Because with small game with this limited power will require head shots I'd keep it to 10-15 meters.

both excellent shooters, American made and a good deal.
The Benjamin 392 or 397 are both accurate enough and powerful enough to take small game out to around 35 yards.



I would prefer the 397.



The muzzle energy for the 392* %26amp; 397** is nearly identical. IMO the advantage of the 397(.177) is the higher MV with the lighter pellet gives you a better trajectory(flat).



*The 392's that we chronographed were around 12.6 to 12.8ft-lbs



**The 397's were around 12.2 to 12.4ft-lbs
