Description
The Benjamin Akela .22 represents the refined craftsmanship and performance expected from the Benjamin Craftsman Collection. This PCP-powered bullpup air rifle blends traditional materials with modern airgun technology, delivering power, control, and elegance in a compact hunting platform.
Built around a Pre-Charged Pneumatic system, the Akela provides up to 60 shots per fill at 3000 PSI, producing .22 caliber pellet velocities up to 1,000 feet per second and delivering 32 foot-pounds of energy. The side lever action cycles smoothly and feeds from a 12-shot rotary magazine, allowing fast follow-up shots in the field.
A beautifully crafted Turkish walnut stock gives the rifle a premium feel, while the adjustable cheek piece and adjustable trigger shoe allow shooters to fine-tune fit and ergonomics. The rifled steel barrel is shrouded with integrated sound suppression, helping keep shots discreet during hunts or range sessions.

I’ve been shooting this gun for 7 months now and have taken thousands of shots, killed in the ballpark of 100 squirrels with it along with several medium critters. It’s the most accurate rifle in my arsenal. It has plenty of power for animals up to 25lbs at least (verified kill), and certainly more. It likes quite a few pellets which is always a great feature. It handles well and is comfortable to shoulder. It just feels nice to hold in general. Lots of space on the pic rail. You can’t go wrong with this gun!

Out of the box, this bullpup looks great. After adding scope and bipod, I went out to sight in. Using the JSB Hades Diabolo .22 at 15,89 grains it was quick to sight in and hold. The weight makes it stable, but it is heavy to carry around all day. The accuracy is next to none, so far. My comparison is to my FX Wildcat Mk 3, compact. This was my first bullpup! the FX was my second. I love the wood on the AKELA and the look. I did add a DonnyFL adapter for a additional moderator and this worked out well. The gun is quiet out of the box, but I hunt at night for rats in the neighborhood so I want it extra quiet, and it IS..! This is very affordable next to some models like my FX or Brocock! I highly recommend this for on starting out or just want to get into pcp and not break the bank! Thank you Crosman/Benjamin for a great gun!

Was trained as a sniper. After thousands of rounds very accurate can hit a dime at hundred yards and a pencil eraser at thirty yards easily. Dropped a woodchuck at 30 yards with one shot behind the ear. Most accurate at 2700 to 2200 PSI. With Crosman Premier 14.5 grain domed pellets. Cocking lever must be all the way back to fill. Can fill from an electric high pressure pump in 1 minute from 2000 PSI. Very quiet … hear pellet hitting Target only. Recommend a Vortex 6 by 24 first focal plane scope. We finished the stock with epoxy to maintain the Beautiful Finish.
