The company is now owned by a fellow here in the San Francisco Bay Area but as stated above, AOA is the outlet.

The new owner has the company name of ACTION ARMOUR...

 The new owner has some crazy new designs. ?

Gotta say his quadrant target is one of my best purchases.  I've had mine for years, and all it needs is a little oil now and then, and a quick repaint from time to time.  Glad to see AofA is still offering this remarkable accessory.  One of the best tools for sighting in a scope.  I bought mine with the 3/4" center.  If I can spin that consistently at 30-40 yds, I'm happy.

I have several of Ben's targets.  I have 4 quads in different sizes, 3 head reset targets which are more fun than regular resets, 3 or 4 regular resets, a quad spinner, a bell target, and a couple of walking targets.  I also have paddles that Ben made for my Caldwell Shooting Gallery.  All of them work great.

I always wished I had the money to get him to make me a carnival sized shooting gallery.

So a $40 reset target from Steel Plinkers is now $99 through the retail outlet?  Ouch!

I wish I would have bought more before the company was sold.  Ben makes a great product.

The new targets are very heavy steel.

About three times as thick as the Gamos...

Well that explains that.  Was wondering the same thing recently and couldn't find the site.  He made good stuff at a great price.  I have the tall dueling tree, many spinners and some animals.  These will last a real long time with .177 cal.

Are you able to share what the bell target looks like? I didn't see any on the current website. ? 

I made a really nice one for the shootin' cabin (no pics, though) using an old fire bell and might get this one just for the heck of it: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Classic-Bell-target-Air-Pistol-Rifle-Airgun-Reflex-Not-Knockdown/182313534814?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

Here is a PDF review from the Yellow.  I really like the Bell Target you bought.  I will probably buy one of them as well.
