.177 caliber Benjamin Dual Fuel PCP & CO2 rifle. In Stock
This version of the Discovery does not include a pump, tank, yoke or fill adapter. To connect your Discovery to a scuba tank, you'll need a scuba tank adapter with hose and a female quick-disconnect with male threads. The tank must have a K valve. To exhaust air or CO2 from the rifle, you need to purchase the degasser tool.
Get into precharged guns at an unheard-of price and also get the accuracy of an expensive European rifle!
Benjamin has bridged the gap and taken the pain out of PCP guns. Not only is this as low a price as you'll ever find on a PCP rifle, but it's so easy to pump up that a wispy teenager could do it!
The Discovery has raised the bar for PCP guns because it uses only 2000 psi of air. While the European companies race toward higher and higher air pressures, Benjamin is going the opposite direction and making it easier than ever to use a hand pump. If you want to use a scuba tank or carbon fiber tank, you can do that, too, and get the benefit of many more fills than you would from a gun that operates with 3000 psi. The Discovery gives you a choice! The air reservoir is 135cc.
The gun comes with a hardwood stock, Williams fiber optic front and rear sights, and a built-in air pressure gauge.
When you open your box, you'll see easy-to-follow and easy-to-understand instructions that'll lead you step-by-step. If you're an experienced PCP user, you'll soon see that the Discovery is the easiest PCP you've ever used. If you're new to PCPs, you'll become a pro in just a few short steps.
If you want to switch to CO2, that's easy to do, but you'll need a degasser tool to quickly exhaust all the air before filling with CO2. Attach the optional CO2 adapter, connect it to a standard paintball CO2 tank and fill 'er up! Now, commence to shootin'!
With high-pressure air, you'll get about 35 powerful shots before you need to pump up again. On CO2, you'll get a lot more.
The Discovery is made in America.

I liked the .22 caliber so well I decided to buy the .177 caliber. Both rifles have exceeded my hopes relative to accuracy and consistency. I shoot the Crossman Premier hollow points in both rifles. The rifles are light enough to carry comfortably and balance well enough for steady offhand shots. Velocities that I get with the Crossman Premier pellets are within 25 to 35 fps of the published velocities in the sales literature for these rifles. I have scoped the .22 caliber and am shooting the factory fiber optic sights on the .177 caliber rifle. I find the factory fiber optic sights to be very good for field use and plinking. These are great rifles at great prices. Things I would have changed:The triggers on the Discovery rifles are a bit heavier than I like but are very usable. This is the only feature on the Discovery rifle that has room for improvement. Again, they are not bad triggers just a bit heavy trigger for such an accurate rifle. What others should know:

Well First thing I'm 58 Years old and my mind plays tricks on me,,.
I thought I had the Gun good and clean by running some clean rags through it, but I didn't have it clean as it should have been,, they are put together with a very Dirty Barrel. I used a few mops, and a drop of oil,, Only a drop of gun oil on one of the mops to get the grease loose and then I used rags to dry it and mop it till the barrel was shinning. Now it hits the same spot at about 20 yards, not tried any further because I been a little busy.
I got 25 shots out of a 2000 pound fill,, It's amazing how a dirty barrel will mess you up. But now the 22 Caliber Discovery is as accurate as my other three Benjamin rifles,, now I have both sets.
The Discovery is noisy compared to teh Marauder, but so is a 22 rifle.
Ive hunted all my life, and never shot at a Squirrel even with a shot gun any further than about 30 yards,, so this gun will definitely do the job plus some..
I went ahead and ordered the heavy weight pellets because if i want a rabbit or a squirrel, I want to do it right the first time.
The Discovery is so light that it makes up for the noise, you can carry it all day long and not get fatigue, I have the scuba tank and teh Benjamin tank and a Gas powered compressor so air is no problem here, I also have 2 of the Discovery pumps, this gun for the money is a steal. Clean the barrel Things I would have changed:Nothing, it works just fine, hits the spot, Isn't that what it's all about? lolol..
I think a 25 caliber in this rifle would be good, but since they don't have it I ordered the heavy Kodiak Pellets,, it is close to the weight of the 25 caliber pellet but maybe a little under, but this gun will handle them for sure. What others should know:This is one of the best deals to get into PCP rifles,, I have the 17 and the 22 caliber in both the Discovery and the Marauder, I liked them so well I wanted a set of each.

Things I liked:Just got my 22 discovery today, I have both Marauders and both discoveries.
This 22 seems to shoot very fast, I only get from 10 to 15 shots on a fill up, compared to the 17 calibers 25 shots.
This gun is very powerful I put a 16 power scope on it and as fast as I pull the trigger the pellet hits the target, I use the 14.5 grain

This 22 seems to shoot very fast, I only get from 10 to 15 shots on a fill up, compared to the 17 calibers 25 shots.
This gun is very powerful I put a 16 power scope on it and as fast as I pull the trigger the pellet hits the target, I use the 14.5 grain Crossman pellets.
This guns power supply would easily handle a 25 caliber. It is definitely an Air hog, it seems to have a sweet spot at about 1500 PSI above that it throws flyers,something the other guns don't do. But that is because of the speed of the pellet IMHO,.
Speed in excess of about 1100 FPS seems to do that and from what I can Judge, this is the fastest gun of all the other three. I don't have a way of testing the speed , but it is obvious that this is by far the most powerful of all the New rifles Benjamin made.
It is light, and a breezy to carry, and I have also done installed sling swivels.
The gun might settle down when it is shot a lot, but for now it is a screamer. I'd like for it to shoot the 900 advertised speed, it for sure is faster than mu Marauder 17 and 22 and the Discovery 17. So maybe it is because it is throwing out more air Not for sure, time will tell. My other 3 Benjamin's will take the lid off of a plastic soda bottle pointing towards me at 30 yards consistant from my bench, I hope this one does the same after a few more break in shots,. Things I would have changed:Well it seems like it's all intact, some sling swivels would be nice, But I done put mine on.. What others should know:This gun is powerful, if it is bought for one of your youngsters, by all means coach him or her before turning them loose with this gun, it definitely isn't a toy, it is by far more powerful than a CB cap,,. It will probably take down a Raccoon real easy, at least mine will I have no doubt about it..
