Shooting at 50 yards, my son and I are burying the pellets into praire dog targets usually used for center fire rifles. The power exhibited by the impact on the targets is impressive. Using the premiers, flight is definitely flatter than the RWS was able to watch the final flight and impact of both RWS and Premier at the target. This pellet rifle is excellent and accurate. Will be using this air rifle during small game season this fall. Pyramyd Air sent this out to us and it arrive in excellent shape. The rifle itself is solid the trigger much better than My Whisper. Things I would have changed:Would like a metal trigger, but this one doesn't prohibit accuracy. What others should know:Don't underestimate the power of this pellet rifle. I saw some pellets bounce off the self resetting praire dog targets, but I saw more penetrate the targets themselves. That is some tough plasticized rubber material. We have even bulged the backside of the dogs. If you are considering using this air rifle for hunting, go with the .22, our whisper doesn't hit with near the impact power the Discovery .22 does.

The pump appears to be the same as sold for Airforce air rifles. Received the Benjamin in .22 cal two weeks ago. Took it out to the range this morning. My son at 11 years old can pump up the rifle with some effort. Sighted in with RWS target pellets at 15 yards in 5 shots. It was windy this morning, here in Wisconsin, so 25 yard accuracy was mediocre. The Rws target pellets didn't group as well, but the Hpoints were excellent. Superdome left me somewhat disappointed and the Crosman premier hollowpoints didn't do much. This rifle puts alot of energy on the taget. My son and I were shooting empty shotgun hulls at 25-40 yards. The results were entirely satisfactory and impressive. If you have to buy one air rifle, this one would be an excellent choice. THIS GUN IS NOISY, if you want to shoot in close proximity to neighbors this is not the gun to choose. The Maurauder would be a better choice
My son says, it's really really good! RWS Hpoints hit the empty shells HARRRD. One I hit threw a 3.5 inch shot gun hull 15 yards from the 25 target holder. AWESOME! Things I would have changed:The trigger although plastic works. I'm not fond of the trigger, but my son and I were able to engage targets at varying ranges accurately.
My son says loading is not the easiest, and it does require some dextereity. What others should know:Don't forget to get a variety of pellets when you get this air rifle. I chose the Premier hpoints along with RWS target, superdome, and Hpoint. It already appears that different ranges will dictate different pellets. The energy transferred is incredible. Don't under estimate the capabilities of this air rifle, doing so could cause serious issues with neighbors or anything down range.
I'm looking forward to calmer to or no wind conditions to fully check this air rifle out.
Things I liked:Out of my son's and my Discovery .22 Flight is flat and impact at 50 yards at the local gun range on praire dog resetting/self healing targets is impressive! I have the irregular flier show up, could be me. We are seeing bulging on the backside of these self resetting/healing praire dog targets. We are getting penetration and very

I have the irregular flier show up, could be me. We are seeing bulging on the backside of these self resetting/healing praire dog targets. We are getting penetration and very satisfactory groups. We aren't measuring but the performance is there easily 3 pellets one hole. We are grouping better than with RWS domes and Hpoints. Pellet drop at 50 yards is 2 inches less than with RWS domes. Things I would have changed:I would like a lower price, but considering I bought JSB predators at the Gander Mountain in Madison Wi yesterday, at 20 bucks for a tin of 200 (gift card) the price isn't too bad, all pellets .22 cal were running 20 bucks for a tin of 500 min. What others should know:My son and I only compete against each other and mostly for fun. The pellets are accurate enough to challenge you to meet their capabillities. We are looking forward to trying these against squirrels and rabbits. If the impact at 50 yards on the dogs is any indication of visible power, the rabbits are going to develop some serious headaches this fall.
