I grew up with the venerable Benjamin.

Still have the .22 pistol 500fps and the rifle.
Both still working great, a drop of 3 & 1 oil on the pump felt every year or so, ready to go, never had to put a pump kit in either, probably shouldn't brag about that, LOL.

I did as well. I had a .22 cal model. I bagged many rabbits with that one. It was a great rifle until my bonehead brother-in-law over pumped it and destroyed it. It wasn't repairable nor replaceable. I was very bummed.
