Discovery 22 with Pump

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.

Duel Fuel – An inexpensive CO2 adapter 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.

Get into precharged guns at an unheard-of price and also get the accuracy of an expensive European target rifle!

Benjamin has bridged the gap and taken the pain out of PCPPrecharged pneumatic. A gun that is filled from a separate air source. guns. Not only is this as low a price as you’ll ever find on a PCP/hand pump combo, but it’s so easy to pump up that a wispy teenager could do it!

The Discovery has raised the bar for PCPPrecharged pneumatic. A gun that is filled from a separate air source. guns because it uses only 2000 psiPounds per square inch. An expression of pressure. of air. While the European companies race toward higher and higher air pressures, Benjamin is going the opposite direction and making it easier than ever to use a hand pump. If you want to use a scubaA diver’s air tank that is used to fill a precharged airgun. tank or carbon fiber tank, you can do that, too. The Discovery gives you a choice!

The gun comes with a magnificent walnut stock made especially for it. It also has Williams fiber optic front and rear sights and a built-in air pressure gauge. Included in the package is a hand pump that’s easy to use and very clear on showing you when you’ve reached maximum operating pressure.

When you open your box, you’ll see easy-to-follow and easy-to-understand instructions that’ll lead you step-by-step. If you’re an experienced PCPPrecharged pneumatic.

If you’re new to PCPs, you’ll become a pro in just a few short steps.

If you want to switch to CO2, that’s easy to do. There’s a special tool that lets you quickly and safely exhaust all the high-pressure air (or you can just shoot the air out). Attach the optional CO2The scientific notation for carbon dioxide. adapter (separate purchase), connect it to a paintball CO2The scientific notation for carbon dioxide. tank and fill ‘er up! Now, commence to shootin’!

With high-pressure air, you’ll get about 35 powerful shots before you need to pump up again. On CO2, you’ll get a lot more.

The Discovery is manufactured and built in the U.S.
$380 at Pyramydair with the pump ❗

I like it, and probably will buy one, just for the walnut stocks that they are putting on them. This new Crosman/Benjamin has many great features and I hope that it sells well.

BUT, I just had to call Crosman and speak to the Discovery team. This guns major design flaw has already been pointed out by Adam; it’s going to be too loud! I made the suggestion to the Discovery team that they should really work on quieting these new guns down. It is one very important feature that I can’t believe that they ignored. The person that I spoke to said that they are looking into quieting it down. Hmmm. We’ll see.

Maybe if more of us call Crosman and ask for a LDC, they might actually do it.

Saw numbers in the higher 800s somewhere.. Hey,, but you gota know there are gonna be a pile of mods as well. Like the 5 pound weight 😉

Yeah I found some Info. from Jim Chapman has it at 850fps max. I’m thinking this gun just may take 2500psi. But the accuracy may go to hell. We will see soon.

Should be a nice little hunting gun. Bring PCP awareness to more of the US…. not certain yet if thats a good or bad thing. Could be a very positive thing assuming that the kids who inevitably get hold of them use them responsibly… and judging from some posts by kids on other airgun forums, this seems highly unlikely… 😳 Still, trying to keep an optimistic attitude, I think this will certainly open the doors for lots of folks who otherwise wouldnt consider PCP due to cost and/or availability.

Amen to that Rob. Rob what do you think about the 710fps at 1800psi on the .22 that Gaylord tested? It should be possible to hit 880fps at 2000psi I would think, but I just don’t know if 200psi will bring it up that high.

Tom Gaylord review.

Based upon the reaction looks like this is going to be popular and bet it will get all sorts of mods over time.

Says 35 power shots in the Pyramydair stuff which I added to the above info. Looks sort of interesting 😉

If we assume CP at ~900 fps that’s ~22-23 fpe. Not bad.

filling to only 2000 psi how many fills do you think you could get Question

You’d be surprised…. my B51 takes a 2000psi fill and gets around 50 shots at 19fpe in .177. One of my QB PCP’s get around 70 shots on a 2200psi fill. Certainly not unreasonable to get a good number of shots on a low fill.

I Love my talon, and The discovery could never replace it.

That being said I bet Airforce lowers the price on the talon within the next 6 months. I do plan on picking up one of the discovery rifles, if nothing else it gives me a new use for my air tanks when they get below 3000 psi 😀

The Discovery stores air in a reservoir made of carbon steel DOM tubing, with a filling capacity of 135 cc (8.3 cubic inch). The reservoir tube is capped with a male Foster quick release connector that permits easy filling of the gun,

filling to only 2000 psi how many fills do you think you could get ❓

Looks good. I guess those guys converting QB78 into HPA wont need to do that anymore.

The gun looks pretty good for the price. I am tempted to get one and shroud it. 😛
