Benjamin (Owned by Crosman) has a new Benjamin Rogue it is a .357 caliber. At present it will be the largest Pellet rifle made with the Benjamin name.
Yes it is a hunting rifle. The next largest Benjamin rifle is the Benjamin Marauder .25 caliber.
Sam Yang make a 50 caliber and a 44 caliber hunting air rifle.
Benjamin Sheridan makes both .22 and .25 caliber pellet guns. ----------------------Corrected answer---------------------------------- Crosman air gun company owns both the Benjamin and Sheridan line of air guns and rifles. The Benjamin rifles models are made in .177, .22 and .25 caliber. The Sheridan line is only made in .20 caliber. The name "Benjamin Sheridan" is no longer placed on any one model. In the past Benjamin did make a 20 .cal pellet gun Benjamin also makes a .357 caliber model named the Rogue.
It depends on the model, but usually it is right on the barrel or the receiver. If it is really old it may not have a serial number. For a time Benjamin and Sheridan did not serialise their rifles.
Benjamin airguns made Ben Franklin brand airguns. The name is no longer used on any Benjamin model. Benjamin airgun bought Sheridan Airgun company years ago and continued to make Sheridan models. Crosman airgun Co bought Benjamin airgun Co. Crosman still manufactures Both Benjamin airguns and Sheridan airguns. Benjamin airguns come in .177 Cal and .22 Caliber Rifles. Sheridan models only come in .20 Caliber rifles. Most large sportingood stores like BassPro and Cabelas sell the air rifles. Or you can order them online ( See the link below.) All Benjamin and Sheridan airguns are Pellet guns not BB guns.
Crosman owns both Sheridan and Benjamin line of air guns/rifles. Crosman has MOST all of the Owners and Parts manuals online. They even offer a free service to locate shops that repair older Benjamin, Sheridan and Crosman air guns. See the links below.
In order to give you an estimate of value. I need to know a few more details like, The model number. Sheridan made 5 different pellet guns and 7 different rifles. The 5 pellet models are E, EB, ED, HB and H20PB. Which one is yours? Is it still working? What condition is it in. Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good or Excellent (Like new) without this information No estimate of value can be given. In 1977 Benjamin airgun purchased Sheridan, In 1992 Crosman purchased Benjamin. Crosman owns Sheridan today. Sheridan and Benjamin look similar. All the .177 and .22 Caliber rifles are marked Benjamin. All the .20 caliber rifles are marked Sheridan. Other than caliber the two models are identical. If you want the owners manual for your pistol a link can be found on the Crosman home page.
Originally Sheridan, Benjamin and Crosman were 3 separate companies. Benjamin bought-out Sheridan. A few years later Crosman bought-out Benjamin. Today Crosman owns all 3 companies. In 1975 Crosman started serial numbering Benjamin / Sheridan air rifles. Before that (1975) it is not easy to identify the year the Benjamin or Sheridan's were made.
A short history. Benjamin air rifles and Sheridan air rifles once were separate companies. Sheridan developed the C9 20 caliber series of rifles. Benjamin bought Sheridan and continued to make the C9 20 caliber series rifles. They also made a .177 and a .22 caliber C series rifle called a Benjamin. Crosman bought out Benjamin (in 1992) and decided to continue making the C series. With the name Sheridan on the .20 cal rifle and Benjamin on the .177 & .22 cal rifle some rifles also had the Crosman name on them. ( confused enough?) During all this confusion and name changing the C9A came along. I have 4 reference bluebooks on air guns and not one of them can give me a date for the C9A, But Crosman has a web page that list manufacture dates by serial number for Benjamin and Sheridan. (See the link below) when it opens scroll down to the Sheridan dates. (the first part is all Benjamin) Hopefully you have the serial number and can match the number with a date of manufacture.
I Think I've located the answer to your question. A short history. Benjamin air rifles and Sheridan air rifles once were separate companies. Sheridan developed the C series 20 caliber series of rifles. Benjamin bought Sheridan and continued to make the C, 20 caliber series rifles. They also made a .177 and a .22 caliber C series rifle called a Benjamin. Crosman bought out Benjamin (in 1992) and decided to continue making the C series. With the name Sheridan on the .20 cal rifle and Benjamin on the .177 & .22 cal rifle some rifles also had the Crosman name on them. ( confused enough?) Because you have asked for about a Crosman C9 I believe yours in one of the older models. It was most likely made around 1990. From 1949 to 1990 they were just called Sheridan later called C9 and CB9. But I am not positive.
Sheridan was very haphazard about numbering and naming there models. In 1977 Benjamin bought the Sheridan line of air guns later Crosman bought both Benjamin and Sheridan. Some models actually say Benjamin Sheridan on the rifle. Sheridan who had been around since 1945 finally started numbering their rifles in 1972.
