Light, accurate, powerful and loud,

This review is from: Benjamin Discovery Rifle & Pump air rifle (Misc.)
I found this rifle a big step up from my spring-piston RWS. It has plenty of power for pest-control out to about 50 yards, and the accuracy required at that distance. Because it is so light and well-balanced, it is the easiest rifle to shoot offhand I have ever used. (Though the stock is short if you're tall. I use a recoil pad!) The pumping isn't too difficult.
The Benjamin Discovery pellets worked best for me; they are essentially hollow-point Crosman Premiers.
I knocked off one star because this rifle is quite loud. While this is typical of unshrouded PCP's, the loudness kept me from using the rifle as much as I would have liked to, or even practicing when I wanted (I live in town). The noise is why I no longer use this rifle, in favor of the similar (but mostly superior), extremely quiet, Benjamin Marauder.

It's hard to belive the Accuracy,

This review is from: Benjamin Discovery Rifle & Pump air rifle (Misc.)
This gun is accurate, I purchased 4 break barrel air rifles before buying this gun. They are all gathering dust now. This rifle will shoot. I use JSB exact Heavys 18.1 gr pellets. I am shooting targets at 60 yards that I seldom hit with my break-barrels. It is load, I added a TKO mussel-break, now it is quieter that my spring guns. I'm 60+ years old and pumping is not hard at all, it's even good exercise. Buy it, you will not be sorry.

This review is from: Benjamin Discovery Rifle & Pump air rifle (Sports)
Man, the days of standing there pumping after every shot are over! I like to shoot and I was wanting a air rifle to so that I could shoot in my backyard. I still have my childhood Benjamin that is 20 years old so I felt that Benjamin had a quality product.
This air rifle is great! I went with the .22 caliber version and couldn't be happier with its performance and quality. I would say that you can get ~50 shots per charge before needing to pump it back up. Pumping isn't that difficult at all, about the same as a bicycle pump. There is very little recoil, not like the single cock spring guns.
Overall I'm very satisfied with this product and I haven't seen where anyone had any complaints for what all you get.
