    Interesting to see the "Hornet" pellets labelled "Stoeger Arms Corp" - I wondered where Beretta got that awful name from....
    I wonder if they bought it umpteen years ago with some aquisition and just recycled it...?

    STOEGER....info!

    A very interesting company that imported huge numbers of air rifles back in the 1930's onwards.........do a search for "stoeger shooters bible" on google and see what I mean!

    sample here.....reprint, but originals are often on "that auction site" and are brilliant reading and a great source of period ads/info on everything from express rifles/handguns down to bb guns.......
