Benjamin Discovery .22 cal rifles for ....Good deal?

I just purchased Two (2) Benjamin Discovery .22 cal rifles. REAL WALNUT mint stocks w/sling studs. two rifles, 3000 psi hand pump, dual fuel adapter, degasser tool, 2 - 12 ounce CO2 tanks, owners manual. Greased/lubed/chronied. For 500.00
That a good deal right? Also is there anything I should know about these discos? This is my first PCP I have 8 Springers and trying to move up slow.

thats actually a great deal. i love scuba tanks cause im lazy
tko brakes are almost a must to make this thing ridiculously quiet. such as the pellet hitting a 2x4 is louder than it firing. also qbmags sells magazines but you need high profile rings for them to fit.
i wish i had just gone to walmart and got the 4x16 scope because this 3x9 isnt letting me see every coloration on the target. i have never ran my disco off of co2 so i cant offer any tips there.
great find and have fun with them

Not bad at all Tripmine, the gun's go about $230 apiece the Benji pump $190 not sure what the CO2 bottle's run. One thing to toss at you is never mix CO2 an HPA(pump/scuba tank) together, so good thing they came with the degasser tool for when you switch from one to the other. Let us know how they shoot for you.
P.S. I don't know myself(I use a Hill) but alot of people dislike the Benji pump because of it breaking down often, maybe someone on here can give you their view on it an what to get to keep it up an running.

Like I said never had one of these so don't know what to expect. You say there loud? Oh boy......Never no I must just trade 1 of them off seeing I have 2 coming. More detail on what to do and what you think. No idea about the scuba tanks suppose they need to be filled by a store? Not from YF he got to new Benjamin Marauder for Christmas so don't need these now. And I happen to be one of the first to sell my soul so I could get these. I thought it be a great deal and get 1 gun for free basically.

you can get them filled either at a paintball store, a fire department or a scuba shop. or anywhere with teh right compressor.it will run you about the same as a new upmp will, (135 for used tank, 65 for adaptor)
they can be quite loud especially at night, i love this tko brake. if your out in the boonies then the loudness may not even matter for you. but i live close to people who are paranoid about guns.
you will have fun with them, they are great guns

Congrats on the Good deal. I saw them on American Air Gun Classified but before I could decide if I wanted them or not you became the lucky owner. Enjoy!

Yes, very good deal considering PA has the combo (gun, pump, scope) for $435...

I got two springers and one of them is way more fun than the other. Do enjoy shooting them but the deal is having to lose the prone position to crank the rifle. After a while seems a little annoying and have been contemplating the PCPs or the CO2 air rifles.
I do like very much the Discovery, Marauder, on co2 the AR2078A (custom) from @#$%^.
If I go PCP how many pumps one must do to refill the chamber?
Have seen people use, if not mistaken, Scuba tanks or something like that. Its very difficult to jump into PCPs as there is no shop around them that carries such items. I am leaning more toward the Discovery or the AR2078A, the 2078 design is very cool, but I think the Discovery is much more powerful.

if you dont have a local dive shop, you can sweet talk your local fire department into filling your tank for you, you will just need to have a large bucket of water handy to keep the tank cool as they use the compressor on it. check first to make sure.
if not, you will get close to 60? fills or so with a 120cf tank and used they will be around 140 and a filler is 65 bucks. so you can get a scba set up for comparable prices of a hand pump

Hi guys, I've got a disco in .177, and here in the UK we have power restrictions, having said that I find my disco to be the most accurate rifle I have, I use HPA and have not tried with Co2.
Aren't these rifles loud with out a Muzzle Break?

mine was really loud without a muzzle break, now it is nice and quieter than a pellet hitting a 2x4
