If you have been putting off buying the Supersear because your not sure if its worth the $30, let me just say its worth it and then some. I’m very happy with it and I wish I would have bought it years ago.

Austin,

8 pumps is not going to strain your seals — the gun was built for that and should be able to hold that pressure all day long with no damage. I’d go for the head shot. If your heart/lung shot is going through the squirrel at 5 pumps, you already have enough power.

Thanks! I am now seriously considering the super sear! I was wondering if I could also get your opinion on the number of pumps that I should use in my silver streak(stock) while hunting squirrels. I shot one this season with 5 pumps and am almost certain that I hit the heart/lung area. When I hit him, he humped up and ran to a knole in the tree and died there, but I was not able to recover him. Another day i set out, this time trying only for a headshot, and hit one right behind the eye and dropped him on the spot. However, would you recomend using 8 pumps and going for the heart/lungs(certainly an easier shot) and if so is this going to strain my seals when hunting for a long period of time(2-3 hours). I was hoping on having this gun for a lifetime and the last thing I want is to ruin it. Thanks for your input,
Austin

Austin,

According to the creator of the Benjamin Supersear, the post that is filed down limits the overtravel motion of the trigger blade, but is unnecessary to proper trigger operation either with the SuperSear or the stock sear. If necessary, the old sear can be put back in the assembly.

What is the purpose of the post that is filed down, and if needed can the old sear be put back in the assembly? Thanks

Rich,

Mine is a modern production model. Some of the Sheridan tuners may be able to improve the trigger on your gun.

My trigger assembly on my sheridan cb9 doesn’t look anything like yours. It doesn’t have the housing yours does. Is yours a very early model. I think i bought miine in the early -mid 90′s. Do you know of another trigger fix for sheridans. I love the rifle but the trigger is terrible.
