Things I liked:My first hobby is long range rifle shooting with unmodified or uncustomized center fire rifles. I want good shooters sold over-the-counter, so I have high standards for rifle performance. The Benjamin Discovery .177 cal is my first PCP rifle and the Discovery really exceeded my expectations. I have experience with two springers, the Crosman Quest 1000 and the Gamo Nitro 17. The Crosman I sold and the Gamo I kept because it lived up to my expectations. The Gamo Nitro 17 shoots almost as well as the Discovery. The major difference is recoil, trigger press and shot consistency. The Gamo, like all springers, has significant recoil and the Discovery has none. The trigger press on the Gamo is heavy and the Discovery is lighter and smoother. The Gamo always shoots the same velocity because it's cocked between every shot and the Discovery velocity changes as air pressure drops.
The Discovery is an excellent air rifle. My main concern, before I bought, was the price. I compared the pricing to real rifles. Don't do that. Compare it to other PCP rifles and it will diminish your sticker shock. This rifle is a solid, well made unit and I love the fit and feel. I use my for pest control and hunting and I can use it close to home without freaking out my neighbors.
In terms of effectiveness, I dropped a ground squirrel at 51 yards, which even surprised me. I used my range finder to verify the distance. I've always been a little suspicious of claimed shot distances in customer postings, so let me say that mine was certainly a lucky shot. I've missed plenty a lot closer.
Things I would have changed:Benjamin, traditionally, makes a small bolt and breach, which makes loading a little awkward with man-sized fingers. I'd liked to see that changed but it will probably never happen. The other thing is the CenterPoint scope. I don't like the windage and elevations dials. They're too difficult to adjust quickly in the field. Carry the hex wrench with you. The scope flip covers are OK but the front one is too snug to the barrel and must be completely removed to adjust for parallax. Not a big deal to me because I take them completely off anyway when shooting. I use them like traditional scope covers. Don't expect them to work as indicated.
What others should know:Air rifles, just like real rifles have ammo preferences. Different ammo brands will probably shoot differently in different rifles. I tested several types of .177 cal pellets and found that the most accurate in my Discovery were the Benjamin Discovery .177 Cal, 10.5 Grains, Hollowpoint and Beeman Silver Arrow Pointed Pellets .177 Cal, 11.50 Grains. The Discovery pellets edged out the Beeman for accuracy but I prefer the Beeman because of its effectiveness on game. The other pellets test, Gamo and Crosman, were all over the paper.
The air pump is rock solid and looks like it will last forever. The problem is it takes a lot of pumping to fill and re-fill the Discovery. It's hard work and will negatively effect your shooting. I advise you to get the SCUBA tank setup which painlessly allows you to fill your gun in seconds.

Things I liked:The light weight and easy to use it and relatively short length of this rifle makes for easy handling. The accuracy is absolutely stupendous. The .22 cal is powerful, has high FPS, and hits hard. The Pressure gauge is convenient. The scope that comes with it is sufficient. The affordable price for such a fine PCP.

The Pressure gauge is convenient. The scope that comes with it is sufficient. The affordable price for such a fine PCP.
Things I would have changed: Make it quieter, make pumping less tiresome, a metal trigger would be nice, incorporate a 5 shot manual clip to make loading easier, faster and less cumbersome one similar to that on the Crosman 664SB. Move the safety to the front of the trigger guard.
What others should know:The Benjamin Discovery is loud and I don't recommend it for backyard shooting if you live in an urban area. It is shipped packaged with a small sample purse full of Benjamin Discovery Hollow Points which I recommend you purchase more of. This air rifle is insanely accurate I'm shooting dime size groups at 35 yards with Benjamin Discovery Hollow Points. Other pellets that worked well were Crosman Premier Domed which performed just as well but I prefer hollow points for squirrel hunting, JSB predator pellets were a little bit less accurate (quarter size groups at 35 yards) but when you hit your target the pellets utterly devastate flesh and bone. It takes about 115 pumps to initially filler up and you get around 35 full power shots before you have to repump around 1000 psi. Personally I cant put this rifle down, the first day I put 500 pellets through it! My right index finger and thumb were stained with lead and my hand was sore from cocking it so much not to mention my arms were numb from pumping all day, talk about a workout! Its a great rifle and you wont regret purchasing it. By the way Pyramydair shipped quickly and customer service was excellent.
