Things I liked:Very powerful out to 50 yards. My .22 Disco was tuned and produces about 870 fps. It will easily blow holes through steel cans at 50 yards. At 15 yards my Disco shoots through 2X4s. It is scoped with a Leapers 4X16 50 and will hit accurately every shot. The Disco is also light enough for my 7 year old to use accurately. It is now

Things I liked:Very powerful out to 50 yards. My .22 Disco was tuned and produces about 870 fps. It will easily blow holes through steel cans at 50 yards. At 15 yards my Disco shoots through 2X4s. It is scoped with a Leapers 4X16 50 and will hit accurately every shot. The Disco is also light enough for my 7 year old to use accurately. It is now a very capable target/varmit rifle
Things I would have changed:I don't like the plastic trigger and trigger guard. I know that keeps the price low, but it cheapens a really great rifle. I also wish the cheek rest was an inch taller. That would make using the Leapers easier to use.
What others should know:Get a high quality scope. With a good scope you can hit the edge of the Disco's capabilities. Get the rifle tuned by an experienced airgun smith, such as Roy Weid. An airgun smith will work out all the annoyances left by Crosman. Use good pellets. I use JSB Exacts and Beeman Crow Mags.

What others should know:0.3" groups using - 177 cal. Disovery Hollow Points & Exact Heavies. I have literally blown through the deflector of my Gamo Cone Trap @ 10 meters. It is unavoidably loud, especially using light ammo (i.e. raptors, etc.). Initial pump-up is somewhat difficult but re-charge from approx. 1000 psi doesn't seem bad at all to me. Remember to open the bleed valve quickly or else the reservoir valve will leak due to it's dependance on pressure differential between it and the hose to close (1st time I charged I lost approx. 1000 psi to this, ugh!!). I hope this helps you make the decision to obtain this gun, I believe that it is a real keeper.

Things I liked:My first foray into the PCP areana and it is really quite nice. The rifle is relatively compact and light weight and shoulders very well. Seems to very sturdy and should last several life times. The pump is really well made and the rifle is definitely a step up from some of the pump ups like the 392. The sights are distinctive and easy to focus in on. It does take 100 pumps or so to get to 2000 psi and yes it is a workout of sorts but in a nice way. It takes about 30-33 pumps from 1000 psi to 2000 psi which givwes about 15-20 high power shots before yuo have to repump.
Things I would have changed:Not much actually. The plastic trigger seems to be well built enough for most uses. Some reviewers have talked about the barrel movement but that may be planned, I do not know. Perhaps a bit more space in the breech to load your pellets - very minor item.
What others should know:An excellent choice and a good choice for hunting, plinking or as a supplement to your regular firearms. Have shot it into some very hard woods and it penetrated very well. More than adequate for small game hunting..

What others should know:This is a .22. I took it out of the box, read the directions, pumped it up and shot one shot to made sure it worked. Then I took the BSA scope off my old Gamo 440 and installed it. After 9 adjustments, at 25 meters, I can keep my groups tighter than the head of a standard thumbtack with the gun rested on a beanbag. It is amazing.

Things I liked:I purchased the .22 caliber model of this air rifle. The rifle is light weight: the air pump appears to be of good quality, the assembly of the pump is simple, and it is easy to connect/disconnect to the rifle; there is good accuracy between the gun and air pressure gages, the gun is very simple to pressurize with the pump (little over 100 strokes empty and less than 50 strokes between recharges); there is very little to no recoil. I initially used the iron sight (was accurate at 30 yards) until I received the BSA scope.
Things I would have changed:Need to allow for additional forward travel for the mounting of the scope as the back of the scope is close to the breech where the pellets are loaded (it's not that bad). The hose for the air pump needs to be longer which would allow the rifle to be off the floor during filling.
What others should know:For my needs, I purchased the BSA 30mm Red Dot scope. I made one adjustment (lucky) for the elevation and azimuth and was able to get groupings this size of a dime at 25 yards using the Predator pellets. I have rabbit issues and every shot has been accurate. I've used the JSB .22 Diabolo Exact Jumbo which worked well an I'm extremely satisfied with the JSB .22 Predator

Things I would have changed:I would have like to have seen included in the kit a pressure bleed off tool and some extra lubricant for the o-ring on the bolt action. My only concern was to dry fire the rifle until you got the pressure bled off.
What others should know:I did notice that there was a little rubber pouch of pellets that shipped with the air rifle kit there is a problem there because I purchased a .22 cal and it was shipped with some freebie .177 cal pellets. It is something to pay attention to. Do not assume that since it shipped with your rifle that it is the right pellet.

Things I liked:Light weight, usable. The size and weight fits me perfectly.
Things I would have changed:The sights are not very good for this rifle. Crossman/Benjamin could offer accessory sights with a finer bead. Also add another barrel band near the front sight.
What others should know:I first saw the new Benjamin Discovery advertised by PyramydAir in the June 08 issue of Predator Xtreme magazine. Previously, I had intended to purchase another springer to replace my 40 year old Wischo however the ad sent me into research mode to learn more about this new product. I read all the reviews and blogs I could find and after a few days, even with some of the "new product" problems reported, I placed my order with PyramydAir for the .22 gun/pump combination. I patiently waited through two backorders and finally received my order near the end of June. First out of the box, I noticed how light wieght the rifle is compared to my old Wischo. The stock is a nice "plain-jane" wood that fits me perfectly. This is not the type of rifle you hang on the wall or put in a gun case to admire. This is a well balanced "usable" rifle that you will enjoy shooting. I chronographed four different types of pellets, 10 shots each, starting each group with a fresh 2000 psi charge. The RWS Hobby 11.9 gr averaged 832 fps, Benjamin Discovery HP 14.3 gr averaged 786 fps, JBS Predator 16.5 gr averaged 754 fps and the Beeman Crow Magnum 18.2 gr averaged 718 fps. The JBS was the most accurate providing dime size groups at 30 meters, however my favorite pellet for this rifle has become the Benjamin Discovery HP. The sights are not very good for this rifle. I purchased a CenterPoint Power Class 3-12 x 44 Compact scope with side adjustable objective. I mounted the scope with Beeman 5031 30 mm rings and this combination fits me perfectly. I will review the Scope seperately. So far I have shot about 700 pellets throught this rifle and I have not had any problems. The pump works well and the rifle holds the charge without any leaks. I charge the rifle to 2000 psi (by the pump gauge) and then recharge when the pressure reaches about 1000 (by the gun gauge). I usually store the rifle overnight and sometimes for several days with a charge of 1000 psi without any loss of pressure. The scope (17 oz) and rings add just over one pound to the total weight. To summarize, this is a very fine and "usable" air rifle. I'm glad I made this purchase. I hope it last as long as my old Wischo.

Things I liked:Light, accurate (-1/4" 5 shot groups @ 25yrds.), easy to scope, EXCELENT price, and mine is in .22 cal. surprisingly powerful, two days of shooting and I am confident with it out to 50 yards for small game such as squirrel, scope mounting is a breeze, it is fond of crossman premier domed and jsb diabolo exact's, the trigger is not all that bad but definitely needs to be worked over and a stop screw added. For the price a lot more gun than you will find from any other manufacture! Pump seems well built, time will tell, since this rifle operates at a very efficient 2000psi max filling is quite easy!! I think this will also put less stress on the pumps seals and inner working's helping add to the life of the pump, but it will still fill the higher operating pressures of the larger psi requirements of other gun's as the pressure gauge goes to 3500psi but the manual that comes with it says not to exceed 3600psi in other pcp's, so you get into pcp's at a low cost and if you like can upgrade to another rifle and still have a means of filling it to max pressure!!! I LIKE!!
Things I would have changed:The trigger is the only complaint I would have, maybe a ventilated recoil pad to add a little extra length of pull (this is for the larger shooter as I am 6'2" tall and long armed) for smaller framed shooters it is probably perfect! Would it cost that much to throw a set of sling swivel studs on it? The refill hose on the pump would be better if it was about 6 inches longer! but is very easy to connect and disconnect.
What others should know:My rifle didn't like the lighter silver bear pellets or the heavier crow magnum's, it shot crossman premier's and jsb diabolo exact's equally well @ 25 yards with 1/4" 5shot groups easy to obtain and repeat over and over, from 1000 psi I filled the gun to the 2000psi full charge and the first three shots were out of the group but each shot went closer and closer to the the 5 shot 1 hole group I was shooting before the fill and from then on the pellets stayed in the original group and did not open it up. I found I would get between 23 to 27 shots with the full charge of 2000psi to 1000 psi and believe for max accuracy 1000psi to around 1800psi the very best one can expect from a lightweight hunting gun, and plenty accurate enough for informal target shooting!!! I at this time would make this purchase again!!! If you want to get into a pcp from scratch this is THE ONLY CHOICE I WOULD RECOMMEND TO SOMEONE WHO HAS NEVER USED A PCP!!!! I have made no comments about the open sights because I never used them I scoped the gun instantly with a 2.5-10x42mm AO scope as soon as I got and cleaned it! and I believe this gun deserves a good scope to realize it's true potential!! The last thing I recommend is that you take the time to clean the bore before ever you ever shoot it, this is mandatory for any gun I get used or new!!! it is not an option, this gun seemed to have a heavy oily coating in the bore and took several patches sprayed with brake cleaner to dissolve it, MAN WAS IT WORTH THE SMILE ON MY FACE WHEN i INSTANTLY SIGHTED IN THE SCOPE AND BEGAN TO SHOOT GROUPS!!! I could go on and on but I'll end this by saying if your reading this your thinking about buying one, so read no more and BUY IT NOW, or regret not getting it sooner when you finally do buy one!!!!!! FACT! I'm giving it the highest rating because of the quality for price factor that I believe is untouchable!!

Things I would have changed:Need to put studs in stock to put sling or bipod.Maybe kick up the working pressure to get more shots out of one fill.When carrying rifle hunting you get 25 powerful shots but if lots of animals or get to going bizerco and start shooting everything you see it will run out fast,and that pump is not something you want to haul around with you.About 3-4 lbs.
What others should know:the trigger is plastic,but not as bad as discribed.I was going to get a webley patriot but decided to get discovery and think it was a wise choice.Every springer I have starts off with plenty of speed thenfalls off the chart when it settles in.They are accurate with the right pellets,but need to learn to elevate.With new discovery have to learn to brake my self of this habbit.I wad shooting over everything due to stable speed of pellet.This is one hell of a rifle for us people who like quality but dont want to pay $700-1000 for it.The poor mans pcp. If you can justify the cost with the wife get this rifle and you will not be disappointed.

Things I liked:The weight of the rifle is about right. With Crossman Primier Heavy Domed Pellots and HN Heavy Pellots it will group .475 or less ctc at 30 yards. The pump is seems very well made and it is pretty easy to pump the rifle to 2000 psi. I am happy with the wood and metal.
Things I would have changed:The only negative about the rifle is the heavy trigger. Crossman needs to lighten the trigger pull. Even with the heavy trigger, the rifle is accurate but you must concentrate too much on the trigger pull.
What others should know:Very good rifle for the money.

Things I liked:I have to say, I really like my .22 Cal Bej Discovery. The gun feels good in my hands and shoulders very good. I heard a lot of talk the finish of this gun, such as the bluing, and rust spots, but mine seems to be very descent. The accuracy of this gun is better than I had expected.

20 yards I was able to hit dry wall screw several times, at 50 yards I would say I got about a 1" group. At 35 yards I got a nickel group with JBS Diabolo Exact, man how exciting!
Things I would have changed:just a though; how about a six round clip; I'm sure someone will do this soon any way.
What others should know:It takes a little effort to pump it up but not bad. Find the right pellet for yours; the Benjamin .22 Diabolo seem to work good in mine, and Crosman CP, and of course the JBS. Seem a little loud.

Things I liked:Yesterday I received my Benjamin Discovery .22 and am getting five shot CTC at 10m. with 14.0 gr.RWS Meisterkugelns. Even shooting off hand this rifle is giving me better accuracy than I thought I was capable of shooting, the English sparrows going to be surprised ;). At 10m the pellets pass right through spruce so they should give excellent penetration on small to medium game. The fit and finish of the rifle is decent for the price and I found the heft and balance quite good. The hand pump is very well built, nearly as heavy as the gun and not difficult to use.
Things I would have changed:The only things I would change about this gun would be the bolt and trigger. The bolt should have increased travel to give more room when loading the pellet. It also should have a more positive action, when the gun is loaded there is nothing to keep the bolt in position and it will rotate to the up position with very little resistance. The trigger pull is smooth but quite heavy and the face of the trigger is flat with square edges that don't fit my finger very well.
What others should know:Unlike the spring gun I've been using there is no recoil on the discovery so your grip doesn't throw off its accuracy. this makes it far better in the field where you may be shooting at odd angles and not able to achieve a uniform grip every time.

What others should know:Tis rifle is the best rifle I`ve bout so far it`s my first pcp rifle but I don`t know how i ever lived with out it I shot 6 birds so far at about 35-40 yards so far all have been head shot`s really messy not for the faint of heart using crossman premier hallowpoints I mounted a leapers 6x24x50mm A.O pyramid air has the best price on this scope I know now I paide $140 for it at another airgun shop here it`s only $99.00 damb should have bought it from here could of saved $40 buck`s but you live and you learn as i was saying the scope sit`s on top of a 2 piece high leapers scope mount`s this combo is deadly if you don`t believe me and my discoverey as the unforchunate birds that meet a quick dimise damb starrlin`s didn`t even know what hit them but sirriesly this is a good gun and best of all you don`t have to buy an expensive scope or expenssive mounts. like you have to buy on sprinngers this rifle is recoilles.

Things I liked:Weight and feel, accuracy , doesn't take a whole lot of effort to pump but I do get a little winded to pump it without stopping. It sure feels good to shoot compared to my Very Heavy RWS 54. I LIKE IT !!!!!!
Things I would have changed:I wish the bolt would open just a little more, with my failing eyes it is a little hard to get used to inserting pellets with a scope mounted.
I do not particulary like the trigger, think it could have been improved some.
The stock is sort of plain but it feels good.
Wished that the muzzel end of the barrel was secured, as it can move easily and it seems to me that that could affect the accuracy but surprisingly it doesn't seem to.
However all these things are not critical.
What others should know:It is a sweet shooting rifle,At 15 yards I can easily put 5 rounds all cutting one hole. It has been very windy here the last couple weeks but I have shot in the wind and at 35 yards I easily put 5 rounds that a nickle will cover. With my RWS 54 a dime will cover. I think my problem is the trigger, I have the RWS adjusted to almost a hair trigger.
It is very picky on pellets it likes, I have tried several, mine likes the 15.8 gr JSB exacts best, 14.3 gr RWS Meisterkugein and JSB express almost as good. Most others I tried were not near as accurate.
It shoots from about 780 to 825 FPS.
It shoots the best when the pressure on the guage is just touching the 2 and all the way down to the yellow, I sometimes shoot it into the yellow before I even notice any change in accuracy, you can expect to get at least 30 to 35 Very good shots per fill.
This is now my favorite Rifle.

Things I liked:The accuracy and power are great. The stock is high quality walnut and the steel is nicely blued. The pump is very high quality and works well with the gun. The open sights are nice and easy to adjust and the scope rail is machined well. The weight is quite light and perfect for hunting. All small game taken with this gun was put down instantly with one shot.
Things I would have changed:I would change the trigger and trigger guard to metal, although the slightly heavy pull has a crisp break and accuracy does not suffer, the plastic makes the gun seem lesser in quality than it actually is.
What others should know:This is no toy!
Know where you are firing and what is behind your target because this gun has substantial power.

What others should know:This is the way to enter into PCP! You can purchase your CO2 cylinder at Walmart and go hunting. I tried various pellets all with good success but the JBS Exacts (.22 caliber) are phenominal.

Things I would have changed:The bluing leaves something to be desired plus mine had marks showing metal through. Stock turns out to be the worst gun i own! Back end of gun has a dip in wood, while i like walnut this just doesnt do it for me

Back end of gun has a dip in wood, while i like walnut this just doesnt do it for me. Could be luck of the draw on these, the sights for windage will shoot 4 inches to the right if left alone i now have it kinked over pretty good.
What others should know:These are fun hard hitting target/hunting guns, be careful i wouldnt want to get hit these could be leathal closer ranges. My pellet trap is almost split open lol. I may be sending this one back and trying another. Id like to sell off my other guns including old sheridan and using this.

Light weight yet not too light.
