You have provided no criteria to determine better. You have listed a budget- but not the application...

I don't think there's any significant difference in the two..other than one's chinese the other isn't. You can go to PyramydAIr and put both those guns in a "COMPARISON CHART" on-screen, and have a very good close look at them.

The only thing about either of those rifles is that both require somewhat of a special technique to hold, being "piston" rifles (even if they aren't spring piston rifles). It's not particularly difficult, but its just another factor when it comes to hitting your target.

The Benjamin Discovery w/ Pump is something to check out. I'm sure you're not crazy about having to pump the rifle up before every session, but once it's full you have probably more power than any spring rifle, with absolutely no recoil, so no special hold or technique. You don't have to worry about a special scope for recoil, there are tons of aftermarket parts (including repeating breechs) and it comes with a pump that can fill other even more elaborate rifles down the road. Super value.

I know it's a bit out of your stated price range, but hey...

YEP !! I agree..I had a Disco, in .177, and it was a great air rifle.. no complaints from me (I use SCBA tank though, not hand pump)....also check http://www.airgunsofarizona.com/ for pricing..ya never know who's gonna have best price.
If you don't have a problem with buying used, you can find some really great deals on used airguns/accessories on ..
