It's a nice warm morning here and I've just finished a quick plinking session with one of my Sheridan F's -- just over 25 usable shots, just over 40 to empty, yes they are gas hogs!
After shooting I gave the gun a wipe down with Ballistol. When I bought the rifle it was a bit of a "plain Jane" but repeated rub downs over the years have really brought out the figuring in the American walnut.

Very nice Allan. Did you shoot the F with scope? I wonder how accurate it is.Originally Posted by AllanM
A nice plinking gun, that's for sure. And a great looker.

Yes, it's the F topped with a Tasco 611VFM scope which has been on the gun pretty much since I purchased it in 1982.
Usually it's set at 2X for shooting tin cans about 60 feet away. At that sort of range accuracy is fine -- I use Beeman Silver Jets (wish you could still get them) and Crosman Premier pellets.

Look at the prices in the US, nuts to me?
This has gone yet may go even higher?

That's very interesting -- over £700 for the one sold and the other already more than £600 with 3 days to go and that's in their country of origin. They are even rarer this side of the pond.

Sheridan has a tremendous following here. Prices seem crazy strong lately. Part of the reason I go for British guns, just aren’t on the radar of many.

I see the 1975 F was withdrawn from sale.
The seller says "First my apologies if your bid was cancelled. I received so many questions, I felt it was important to get more history, test this item and relist with as much information as possible. Thank you for looking"
