Title: What to Believe: The Gauge on My Discovery or the One on My SCBA Assembly?
Post by: Lostcoast on May 29, 2017, 11:08:50 PM

I recently bought a used Benjamin Discovery and have noticed that there is a discrepancy between the standard gauge on the rifle and the nice Wika gauge attached to my SCBA tank. The rifle gauge reads about 200 psi higher when I am filling the air tube. Any idea which one I should believe? Are the WIKA gauges known for being accurate?

Thanks.

WIKA hands down. Benjamin air gauges are not known for accuracy...

I have several benjamin that are 100-200 psi off.

The Wika is an industrial standard, professional quality gauge. There is nothing industrial about the Benjamin guage, nor is it of professional quality.  ;)
