Benjamin Discovery .22 short review

[air rifle hunter]

I got a new Benjamin Discovery .22 a couple weeks ago and I love it.  I really like the short length and light weight which makes it very nice to carry around.  It is also a very nice looking rifle.  
       
       It is very accurate.  I use JSB Predators which shoot excellent in my gun. (I've heard that a lot of peoples' Discos don't shoot them that well though.)  With the Preds I can shoot under an inch ( .45 - .75 )@ 50 yards and less than 2 inches @ 75 yards on a calm day.  This is off of shooting sticks and while sitting in a comfortable chair.
The gun shoots many pellets well so you should be able to find a cheaper pellet for plinking.  I use the Preds for hunting and the Gamo Hunters for plinking which have a close POI to each other.
       
       From a 1700 psi fill I get roughly 25 shots without any change in POI.  The Discovery also has plenty of power.  It isn't hard to pump up the Discovery but does get your heart pumping.

       I highly recommend the Benjamin Discovery .22 for those that want an accurate and well balanced PCP without spending a pile of cash.  I am really happy with mine.  Can't wait till the spring when the starlings and grackles come back so I can test it out hunting. ( sadly squirrel season is over until next fall so I can't take it squirrel hunting)

P.S.  My Benjamin Discovery is completely "stock" except for an extra barrel band ( added to keep muzzle from moving when handling. It didn't make any difference in accuracy that I can tell but it does make the gun look tougher/ stonger built and gives you more comfort knowing the barrel won't move. )

Glad to hear you're liking your disco so much,,, I think it looks good with the extra band.  

I bought a ,22 when they first came out but returned it due to accuracy problems....  I think their QC is much better now....  I've always said one day I'll get another one and I will.  Can't beat the price, that's for sure......

Will be looking forward to the hunting pics and stories I know you're disco will be generating in the future.....

Mine is coming next week. Where did you get the barrel band from?

My dad made it.  He's a tool & die maker.
