Dual Fuel Compressed Air / CO2 Air Rifle

Trouble-free, highly accurate. Once it is filled, there is no pumping and no worry about the outdoor temperature. Just shoot until the gun needs to be refilled. The Discovery's 2000 psi fill level means almost anyone old enough to shoot this rifle will also be able to fill it from the hand pump that comes in the package.

Dual Fuel - An inexpensive CO2 adapter (not included) converts this rifle from compressed air to CO2 operation which makes it easy to fill from a standard paintball tank, offering more shots from a single fill. CO2 is excellent for indoor use or for outdoor casual plinking.

    What a find!

    As a youth I spent a lot of time with my .22 Benjamin model #342. 10 pumps got me one round down range at 750 fps. It was a great air rifle.

    I've just recently started shooting the .22 Benjamin Discovery pcp air rifle. It's so awesome to fill the Discovery before each shooting adventure and know that I'm going to get may shots before I need to refill my rifle!

    The Discovery is accurate and hard hitting. The fiber optic sights work well under all lighting conditions and the trigger pull aids in getting the most accuracy out of this air rifle. What a fun air rifle!

    Light weight. Accurate. Loud. Use full pressure air and you might as well be shooting a .22lr. Converted mine to .177 with parts after acquiring a Marauder. Still loud. Still accurate. Using CO2 in the back yard, however, is a pleasant experience. Still accurate. Not so loud. Combine an after market muzzle brake with CO2 and you can shoot in the back yard without disturbing the grazing doves. (I've done it) Trigger is NOT the best in the world.

    Great Package!

    The main reason I purchased the .22 Discovery was because it is one of the very few PCP air rifles
    with sights on the barrel. The others force you to also purchase a scope. The second reason was that
    it is bundled with the pump, so the cost of entry into the PCP style of shooting is less than buying a gun
    and pump a-la-carte. It took 78 pumps to bring the Discovery up to 2K PSI out of the box. The effort
    wasn't bad at all. The pump pressure gauge and gun pressure gauge agreed. I can get 20-25 shots keeping
    the gauge in the green zone and another 5-9 shots into the yellow. Pretty good. After that, it takes
    me 55 pumps to bring the gun back up to the maximum green zone at 2K PSI. I really like the fiber optic sights.
    The green dot is small as compared to my Phantom 1000 springer, which makes the Discovery more accurate
    at greater ranges, because it covers less of the target. As a side note, Ace Hardware sells a nice pen style
    screwdriver with two blade nibs and one fits the Discovery site screws nicely and you can keep it in your shirt
    pocket. This gun is loud, more like firing a .22 short, but it isn't that bad. This gun is very, very accurate.
    I set up a Champion bullet trap at 20 yards and tried RWS Superpoints, RWS Superdomes and Crosman Premiers
    (Brown Box). The Crosman Premiers were very good, with groups about 1"-1.25". The RWS Superpoints shot about
    4" low and 2" to the right and had wider groups at around 2.5". The Discovery really liked the RWS Superdomes. Very
    tight groups about the size of a quarter at 20 yards and the groups were all a single hole - no outliers. I also
    liked the trigger pull - smooth and easy. I also bought a hard shell case. With this type of case, it is easy to
    put the gun into the open case on the ground and refill the air with the gun in the open case instead of placing
    the gun on the ground. I am 6'2", so the Discovery's stock is a tad short for me, but not bad. I may add a recoil pad just for adding length.
    There is very little to no recoil with this gun. All in all - a very nice package indeed.
    Benjamin - well done!!!

    I've had this gun for half a year and the pump broke. It's okay gun but if I was you get the nitro piston.
