Title: Benjamin Discovery sightings ?
Post by: MassGunman on February 17, 2016, 06:53:06 PM
Has anyone spotted the elusive discovery ? After responding to an email advertising campaign I purchased my first pcp , the Benjamin Discovery . To my surprise , the following day I received an email apologizing for their error, and that it was no longer in stock , and placed it on back order . So being curious , I search the web and saw that AGD , PA , and crosman were all "out of stock" , and gave an estimated instock date of 2/15 . So after waiting patiently for 2weeks , the 15th came , and no order filled. I then recheck the websights and all of them changed their estimated in stock date to 2/29 . My question is "what happened ?" Did a shipment of barrels from China not make it through customs ? Or was there a strike at the assembly facility ? Let me end by saying that Cameron from AGD has been great . He has done everything short of building one by hand , andhand deliver it . Because of him , they kept me as a customer . 17 days , about to put a picture on a milk carton

Thanks Jay. Ya , I checked out PA , and w/ the scope I wanted , the total was over$100 difference . For a me a deal breaker . My point was that I was sold a gun in stock , then not in stock , ready by the 15th , in transit , now not till the 29th. Im just getting a little impatient . I already ordered and received my tko muzzle break , brass trigger &power adjuster , bipod , sling, and transfer port bushing . Just waiting on gun , and honest explanation on whats the hold up ?Why is delivery date keep getting backed up on multiple web sights  ? Jays probably right , that they didn't anticipate demand , and simply didn't put enough into production . Fingers crossed , I heard a rumor that maybe Fridays truck may have one on it.

 Hmm I have ordered the last item on PA website , and their inventory is automatically adjusted, so as soon as you look at your order , it indicates the restock date , not considering that your item is being shipped , freaked me out once then checked on my order status, and low n behold it was in transit. food for thought , not sure this is in your case.

UPDATE !! Discovery found ! I couldn't be happier . My rifle ships today . Im getting my first pcp with a pump , and a utg swat scope and mounts . All this for under five bills . Worth the 18 day wait .
  Thanks again to Cameron from AGD (and fellow gta member) for all his help with an impatient customer . About to enter the dark side .
