It's here: http://www.americanairgunhunter.com/benji_discovery.html http://www.pyramydair.com/blog/2008/01/benjamin-discovery-part-1-concept-and.html Not the prettiest gun in the world, but I don't think Crosman aims for that really in the first place. _________________ BIG GAP Re: It's here!   Posted: Mon Jan 14, 2008 2:25 pm 23ib0d0n Moderator Joined: 21 May 2007 Posts: 757 broommaster2000 wrote: Not the prettiest gun in the world, but I don't think Crosman aims for that really in the first place. The elegance is in its simplicity, size and price. I'll have to get a few of them for Sherry and the kids. That way they won't always be fighting over who'll shoot the FN19 or the Crooked Barn Featherweight.   Posted: Mon Jan 14, 2008 2:35 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Haha, I guess you have a good point. It doesn't really look like a PCP to me, though, but then, it's a bit of a hybrid off course. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Mon Jan 14, 2008 11:43 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6929 Location: "Out There" Any indication of price on it yet? _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

Holy Sh!t. Hopefully this "Discovery" is that Crosman can build something really decent if they set their mind to it- not that it's just another piece of modern Crosman junk. Here's the Crosman pages on it: http://www.crosman.com/site/catalog/crosman/rifle/pcp _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

The first thing I would change would be the stock. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2008 12:28 pm Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND I reckon that this gun will be the basis for a lot of hybrid pcp wonders, at that price you can afford to chop it about a bit, also it looks better than the average Crosman engineering, It will be intresting to see what the UK price will be?

And to have something that is getting on the higher end of things coming from the American market... Well that is exciting on a bunch of levels! Count me in for one! ; ) _________________ John God is great in '08   Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2008 4:45 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands I wouldn't mind a multi-shot version either. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2008 8:28 pm The outdoorsman Veteran Member Joined: 07 Sep 2007 Posts: 240 Location: Canada well broom this is only the begining i like the look of it i wonder if there is a way to attach a bike pump yo any PCP keep in mind i know squat! about pcp's so it may sound totaly stupid to some of you... _________________ ' I dont think of the audiance as anything different than me, you have to seduce the audiance ya cant beat'em and ya cant kiss their a$$" Harison Ford   Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2008 9:39 pm Redster Member Joined: 27 Jan 2007 Posts: 57 You'll be able to get it with a hand pump in a kit! Here's the Crosman home site for it: http://www.crosman.com/site/catalog/crosman/rifle/pcp Hey, AGE, my Fun Fund went by the wayside last year, but once I build it up a bit, I'm looking at this gun now as my first foray into PCP.   Posted: Wed Jan 16, 2008 1:33 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands You don't want to be pumping a PCP. That takes ages to get a good fill. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed Jan 16, 2008 2:29 pm Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND Everdently it takes 100 pumps to fill it to 1800 psi, you get 37 shots, then it requires 25 pumps to bring it back up to 1800 psi, it runs at a lower pressure than most PCP guns so requires less effort pumping. Al _________________   Posted: Wed Jan 16, 2008 2:49 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands But I've seen PCP's that had a higher amount of pressure with the same amount of pumps. That same gun was capable of about 45-50 shots. That gun was a Webley Raider I think. No too sure though. Need to go and look for the exact specs sometimes. Very nice gun though, and off course, a tad more expensive. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed Jan 16, 2008 4:09 pm 23ib0d0n Moderator Joined: 21 May 2007 Posts: 757 Reservior volume makes a big difference. Long revervior DAQ .308 gets five 'power' shots on a fill. short reservoir DAQ pistol gets two power shots on a fill. Same reservoir diameter, same fill pressure - different length only.
