    Took me ages to find a decent 766 (early 2100) over here...

    If you just want an adult pump up - theres the Webley Rebel which Pellpax are selling for £119... never tried one, so no idea if it's any goood or not.
    The “Webley” has a poor reputation.

    By contrast, the older pre-Crosman Sheridans are very good indeed.

    I thought they had reputation for poor triggers...?

    Lovely, classic rifle. The triggers might not be the best and I suppose their popularity "back in the day" centred around its power output when it was considered that springers wouldn't make "sufficient" power. Slimline, classic looks, compact and makes you question why you may want anything larger and heavier......a bit like a HW99 and that does it all with a simple, single stroke.

    I'd be more than happy to home a Streak, though.

    What Tone said. The sights are also poor, much improved by fitting a Williams peep. Triggers are no worse than most contemporary rifles (inferior to older Crosman 1400, better than later 766/2200 Crosman). Bomb-proof, classic, quite collectible.

    Anyway, I like mine.

    The best pumper (apart from rare stuff like Mohawk multi-pumps or custom Bowketts) is probably the Sharp Ace. But they aren’t common, and are around £250 in good nick.

    the early pre Benjamin sheridans are great guns well worth getting
    triggers aren't that bad especially on UK converted ones as the hammer spring isn't as strong
    they didn't make a mk1 but there was variations in the c models with imo the early rocker safety with the adj pistons being the better ones but the stocks on the thumb safety were a nicer shape
    the current Benjamin pumpers are the 392/7 and the same as the last c9 bluestreak just a different calibre
