Benjamin Discovery

Post by caseyboy »

I am interested in going the PCP route. The Maurader is unavailable in Canada because of the shrouded barrel which is viewed as a "suppressor". How does the Discovery compare? I can get it with the pump for less than $500CDN.

Pretty much the same gun, I think. I was impressed, they seem good value, and the low price/popularity results in a vigorous aftermarket for triggers and other such useful kit.

Not really the same gun at all, with pretty much every single part being different. The Discovery seems to be really good for the price, though. As I just came into PCP airgunning and went with a Marauder, I don't have a ton of info on the Discovery model. The folks here at the Crosman/Benjamin PCP forum do, though. 8)

I really like my Disco - very accurate out to 100 yards. If you get any PCP, go the fill valve and scuba tank route unless you want your shooting day to also be an exercise routine.
