  Things I liked:

  The Blue Streak is a timeless gem... The sweetest air rifle I've ever held, fired and/or owned.

  Things I would have changed:

  Bring back the Blue Streak! Bring back the .20! Make it like it was originally made... with the same quality, pride and precision. This Crosman version isn't half the rifle that my late-90s Benjamin version is, and the late 90s Benjamin version isn't half the rifle compared to my "toggle-safety" (1970?) pure Sheridan! That said...

  What others should know:

  I think that I got the last NIB Sheridan Blue Streak CB9 in the warehouse! How it happened, I do not know. I'm keeping this one in storage and it will remain NIB.

  This is a time tested classic design.

  Things I liked:

  I ordered three of these air rifle because I heard the Sheridan brand is going to be retired. This brand is fantastic in quality and accuracy. If the current ammo shortage continues i will not have to pay higher prices for 22 lr. I purchased 4 tins of JSB Diabolo Exact in the 20 caliber. The pellets are perfect, I will be ordering more of pellets in the near future to stock up. I love to target practice and now I can take 2 of my grandsons with me.

  Things I would have changed:

  Nothing.

  What others should know:

  mounting for scope and spring on bolt or catch to keep it down after loading.

  4.0 Value for money 4.0

  4.0 Accuracy 4.0

  Things I liked:

  I like the styling and the stock. Metal and wood construction. Fun and accurate. Made in the USA. Easy to work on when the need arises. Pyramid Air is great to deal with and also carries the parts for the Blue Streak 392 and 397 models. Crosman has put the brass valve back into this Model which in my opinion is a very good move.

  Things I would have changed:

  I would let it be known proudly that the CB9 is made in the USA and I would stamp the gun "Blue Streak" Model CB9 instead of just CB9. I would also price the Blue Streak accordingly with the 392 and 397 that are identical.

  What others should know:

  A little hard to pump after 6 pumps but not to bad.

  5.0 Accuracy 5.0

  Things I liked:

  I have had this rifle since 1992 and have dispatched many squirrels with it. At eight pumps, the .20 hits very hard. I have found the best accuracy with Benjamin cylindrical and Beeman FTS Domed.

  Things I would have changed:

  The iron sights don't have much adjustments, just elevation. With practice you can get a feel for these basic sights. The rifle dose not have dovetail scope rail. You have to buy an intermount.

  What others should know:

  I recently installed an Air Venturi Intermount. I wish I had done that years ago! I am shooting quarter sized groups at 25 yards with a Leapers 4x32 scope. My wife like to shoot it. She only pumps it four times, more than that and i have to pump it. It take a lot of effort to pump to 8.

  By Peter from USA on 2014-02-17

  TireManTim. Your Silver streak does indeed have windage adjustments, Refere to your manual. The screws on either side of the rear mount are to be loosened and then you move the rear site in the direction you need by first tightening the screwon the opposite side. This will move the rear site in the required direction. When all done just tighten both screws so they don't back out. Don't over do it.

  3.0 Accuracy 3.0

  Things I liked:

  Good fit and finish. Only four pumps does the job on short 50 foot shots. Fairly accurate,good take down power.

  Things I would have changed:

  Trigger pull is long and too predictiable. Seems to be very loud. My 85 year old Dad is too weak to pump it up.

  What others should know:

  When you buy an air gun it is the luck of the draw. One gun will shoot terrific and the same model purchased a week later can be terrible.

  5.0 Accuracy 5.0

  Things I liked:

  I actually own the original Sheridan Blue Streak and this was bought as a comparison! It looks nice, is accurate and a unique airgun! I have owned the new CB9 2 days .20 and have already killed a squirrel at 20 yards quick and easy.

  Things I would have changed:

  Have it come with a scope base mount at current price.

  What others should know:

  Trigger isn't as good as original Sheridan .20 Blue Streak, however the reproduction is well constructed otherwise, A great throwback airgun! Worth the price but should come with scope mount.

  What others should know:

  I have two of them for 20+ years. mine have Walnut stocks.Have had the seals replaced on one. I have the williams peep sight and love it. It was easy to install with existing screws. Tested lots of pellets and found the Sherdan pellets to be the most accurate with good penetration.

  4.0 Accuracy 4.0

  Things I liked:

  It's a nice light weight .20 cal rifle for a decent price. 8 pumps, no recoil and classic good looks. Mine is made in the '70's but the design is not all that different overall. The bulge on the newer model's pump grip helps keep fingers out of pinch points.

  Things I would have changed:

  After looking at the older model and a newer model I think they are about equal in performance.

  What others should know:

  This is an air rifle that will last you if you take proper care of it.

  5.0 Accuracy 5.0

  Things I liked:

  I have this rifle ,but the silver streak model, my wife gave it to me as a present back in the 1980s,if I had not let the kids loose with it ,they over pumped it, the gun would still have its original seals. No problem getting it fixed work real fine up to now. Thousand of shots through it , super accurate. The foot soldier for the modern PCPs.

  Things I would have changed:

  Nothing this is a true testament to excellent American craftsmanship .

  What others should know:

  Keep it always with a couple of pumps in the air chamber so the seals won't dry out . A drop of silcone oil every year will do the trick. P.S. not about to sell this baby it's for my grand kids . Super classic.

  Things I liked:

  Everything! Accurate, powerful, durable. I am preparing a short list for my next Pyramyd order, this gun is near the top.

  Things I would have changed:

  The only thing I would have ever changed, they already did, the stock.

  What others should know:

  I bought one of these back in 1970. I used and abused it for the longest and it never failed me. Then in a momentary laps of judgement, I sold it. I will own another one-and soon. I always wished it was .22 because of the variety of ammo available. Now it doesn't matter. Pyramyd #1!!!

  4.0 Accuracy 4.0

  Things I liked:

  this is a extremely well built rifle and I have had mine for over 15 years and have never done anything more then drop a little oil on it when needed. It has good power and accuracy.I am not the type to write reviews on anything but I felt buyers should know that these are the kind of rifles that will give you years of service. I brought mine before my son was born and he is now 16 and we shoot it together, who knows god willing I will shoot it with a grand son or daughter someday.

  Things I would have changed:

  Nothing at all the price is right

  What others should know:

  It can pump up to 8times but it will take strength. It is not loud at all. I have the 20 cal.

  By Edith from USA on 2013-09-10

  Stephen--The modern Sheridan Blue Streak and the modern Benjamin multi-pumps are pretty much the same as the vintage ones. I know because we own the vintage ones as well as the modern ones. There's no difference. Both are effective. I learned to shoot when we discovered mice in our basem*nt, and my husband showed me how to use the Sheridan Blue Streak to eradicate them. It's still my all-time favorite gun.

  By stephen from USA on 2013-09-09

  Mark, I have one Blue Streaks and one Silver Streak from the early '70's. They are the 'REAL' Sheridans and that's why you hear so much about them. I wouldn't trade either one for ANYTHING Pyramyd sells. Look in the Airgun Classifieds and find yourself one built before 1980. You wont be sorry.

  By Nicholas from USA on 2012-08-07

  Ref. Mark: I have purchased a New CB9 and as far as I am concerned it is the Best Multi-Pump on the Market. And is built everybit as good. And also is extremely accurate as the older models which have also owned.

  By Mark from USA on 2012-07-29

  Thanks, Tolbert. I just ordered a Blue Streak, CB9. I hear the B stands for blued. Is the barrel really blued or just painted? On the painted barrels, there is paint spray in the muzzle about 2 inches down the barrel that interferes with accuracy on y 392. I wonder if the Blue Streak has the same overspray.

  By tolbert from USA on 2012-07-15

  Mark i have a .22 Benji. i bought last mo.2012 and you can have confidence in these rifle's as being as good or better as 20 yrs.ago.I also had them 30 yrs.ago.

  By Mark from USA on 2012-06-30

  All I ever hear about is a gun bought several years ago. I'd really like to hear some reviews on the rifles bought now - not 20 or 30 years ago. How are the new ones?????

  5.0 Value for money 5.0

  5.0 Accuracy 5.0

  Things I liked:

  I have had dozens of air rifles over the years. My Blue Streak is the ONE gun you could never pry away from me. If I had to head into the woods and live off the land this is the gun I would take with me. If you miss your target with this gun, it was your fault, not the gun's. Light and easy to carry. Install the Williams peep sight and you will be amazed at the accuracy. Hits hard, Squirrels 50 feet up are easy with 6 pumps. Woodchucks at have fallen to my Sheridan at 70'.These last almost forever and are cheap to shoot. Remember to keep one pump of air in it when stored.

  Things I would have changed:

  Make the Williams sight standard.

  What others should know:

  Forget scoping this rifle. It can be done but it just isn't right. Makes loading and pumping a hassle. To me the gun is perfect with the williams receiver sight. If you only have one gun this would be my choice.

  5.0 Accuracy 5.0

  Things I liked:

  Accuracy, reliability, power, handling, all around quality. I can shoot one hole groups at 10 yards with 3 pumps using Benjamin flat nose pellets. my gun is 40 years old and looks and shoots like a new gun. It is just as much fun now as when i bought it in college.

  Things I would have changed:

  Would have kept the quality of the original guns. My Silver Streak has a beautiful walnut stock with fiddleback grain and is a beauty

  What others should know:

  The 20 cal. pellet is accurate, hits hard and is suitable for target shooting or hunting with more pumps. This is a gun that will go to my grandkids. A real quality piece of Americana.
