| Hello all new to the forums but been into airguns since about 11 years old. I'm looking at picking up a disco with hand pump in .22 caliber. I came across the package that mac1 airguns offers and was wondering if there was maybe a better option? Looking for a nice accurate rifle that hopefully can shoot 16gr ammo at around 925-950 fps after a tune. I will be using the rifle for target shooting and hunting. I will also be adding a tko brake to hopefully quiter down to make it back yard friendly. Shrouding the barrel is also on my mind as the quiter the better. Any help, ideas, and maybe links to sites that carry shrouds, brakes, other custom parts, and offer tunes would be excellent! |

Welcome!
I got one for Christmas and couldn't be happier. It is the easiest airgun I've ever had to shoot accurately. It looks to be very easy to work on, too. I love this rifle. Got it at Scheels on sale for $299 with the pump included. Good luck finding anything in stock for a few months after Christmas though.

Thanks for the welcome! From what I've been reading about the disco it's exactly what I'm looking for. I got a little time before I purchase one I think. I wanna sell my custom savage 17 hmr first to help fund the disco. While my 17 is insanely accurate I'm forced to go with an air alternative. I need something quite, good to 70 yards, and cheap to shoot. The disco seems to fit that bill very nicely  . |

| If you're thinking of adding a shroud/brakes and such- it might be easier to start out with a Benjamin Marauder (?). Unless of course you like the challenge and doing your own handiwork. |

I have thought about that. The only thing is that a tuned mrod will run me about $525+ and I will still need the hand pump which will make it a $725 package.. The disco tuned with the pump will run $425 and adding the tko brake will put it at another $50. I would love an mrod but cost unfortunately is an issue  |

I believe it as Scheels sold out fast! I got the last one at the sale price. |

| Ask rsterne about the Trakkar spring that is the perfect hammer spring upgrade. With that and a power adjuster my Disco bucks 18.1 grain JSB's at about 915 average or something like that, so with just the spring you're likely to get to your desired fps. |

Just to follow up, there are piles of Discovery's out there.
I call this one the "Raccoon Shooter"
And for anyone who has or will ask "Should I store my Discovery with air in it or not?"
This was last filled in September, 2011:
And is doing just fine! |
