Benjamin New Entry Level PCP - Maximus

[StevenG]

It will be interesting to see if the street price mirrors the $50 less than Disco retail price. I still prefer the Tupperware stock.

Is there any crosman gun thay does not sell at some discount?

I just think it is bad to say on the new pumper up to 1000 fps in one place on your website and then 725 fps on another...Shows an attitude common in Todays Marketing Dept. that the customer is a mark and bs-ing him/her is okay... way to build trust in a Brand...
They plasticated the 2100  called it the Leagacy and only $5.00 difference in price come on...
They put a plastic piston in the 2100 and yet still claimed up to 725 fps (which it used to get with 7.9g pellets)...

Have 2 differing statements on price of the Maximus on your website is a similar prob...

Crosman do not let marketing guys ruin you by making you seem less trusted... it will kill a brand that Had a lot to be proud of...

 How the *(&^ do they do it so cheap??? My trigger assembley cost more.

If you have piles of available parts it would not make sense to add any more than needed. Tupperware stocks are a huge savings. The only cost of developing was the stock mold and what it cost to name it, and print the labels on the box. I really like how the barrel is set down low in the stock on this gun. I have a feeling they better make alot of stocks! Another thing overlooked with an entry level airgun, is they are a gateway drug to a Marauder for Crosman.

LOL gateway drug to all sorts of PCP rifles.  Who knows the next Bob or Lloyd could evolve from the purchase of one of these entry level rifles.  We all started somewhere.

sorry about the rant guys I just hate how marketing is handling things and if the new Legacy pumper has the 2100b piston it most likely is a 625 fps pumper...

would be nice if they fixed the piston in both... But there is the liability angle ( feel another rant about parental control) of a perceived child's toy that is not... so they tune it down? still not a toy at 625 fps...

I think they all got scared when daisy got sued for an accidental death of a kid...

But anyways you build to a range of 625-700 fps you say so; if they do not leave the factory shooting less than 800 fps or whatever say so...

But do not in a press release say up to 1000fps * ^{with alloy pellets} and then "up to" 725 fps with lead pellets, on another page of your same website and it will be doubly bad branding if it only gets 625 fps with 7.9g and 650 with 7.4g...

any ways I hope they did the plastic right on both this and the Legacy and just maybe the 2015 760... have not  tried a 760  yet... but all the other plastic clamshell rifles did not impress me...

and Plastic stocks  to me seem to amplify instead of mute the sound of the hammer strike... I just wonder if they could have done this same sort of $200 disco using 13xx trigger and a 1399 stock... and 2240 style fore stock/gage protector...


oh Pyrymid"s specs say 24.25 for barrel length... so I guess if that is right the tank has to be a bit smaller..?

Sure they could. I'm 100% convinced that this new gun is, like the Disco, based on the 2260. Therefore a 2240 grip/trigger assembly, 1399 stock and 2400/2250 forend assembly should be no problem. Probably be cheaper to just order a custom shop 2400 and then buy the air tube assembly for this gun, though. Or Disco tube assembly.

My gateway to the Dark Side was.... yup, a Disco.... I still have it, except now it's a .25 cal that shoots over 100 FPE....

Whats this new pumper people are talking about on here?

Basically crosman took the Crosman 2100 and added more plastic. They also claim it to shoot 1000 fps (alloy) just to get people to buy it.

LOL what'd I tell you..... we better watch out The PCP will hook ya.   

[dippingriz]

The barrel length on PA's website matching the disco is a disappointment if it's accurate.  I would prefer to have the extra air capacity at the cost of barrel length.  Hopefully there are some 'improvements' that create a true 30-shot count in .177 in the 750-800 fps range. 

[rsterne]

The "harder to cock" comment and velocity claims would lead one to believe they have opted for even more power and a short, Korean Cliff shot string....
