I ordered the Cayden yesterday. Heck of a deal from Crosman !!! Less than what I paid for my Airmax Dominator. That Turkish walnut is beautiful wood.

Good luck to you Wayne!!!!

Thanks Scott !!! I haven't gotten a shipping notice yet but I ordered it at about 6pm Friday. After seeing everyone's evaluation of the gun so far I'm sure it'll be a winner. . . . heck you can't buy a walnut stock alone for the price that I paid for the entire gun these days.

Congrats Wayne! I think you'll be real happy with it, I know I am! On Friday I ordered a couple CP Scopes they had on sale for 55% off, I got the shipping notification that evening. But, I did order them that morning.

Wayne, may I ask what the typical timeline is when ordering from Crosman?

Like you I ordered a gun from Crosman on Friday as well, and am now awaiting any notification of shipment.

On their site it showed as "Processing" at first, but today it shows "Complete". But no emails from Crosman so far indicating any new status, unlike how other online vendors usually provide.

I was hoping for further information, like the magic word "Shipped" or something.

Charlie, what time did you place your order on Friday? I bought my Cayden the Friday before last and 2 scopes this past Friday and have a notification that they had shipped by 8 PM the evening I placed my order. Both were ordered before 7 AM though, so when the order was placed probably impact when it gets shipped. You will probably receive notification tomorrow. My Cayden arrived the Tuesday after I ordered it, a day earlier than predicted. The 2 scopes show an expected delivery this coming Wednesday, but with 2 hurricanes heading into the Gulf, I'm not sure if they will arrive early or not!

I ordered my Kratos over my lunch break last Friday. (12:00-13:00) I got the "shipped" conformation at 22:30 that night.

Received it the following Tuesday via UPS!

Wayne52 · « **Reply #167 on:** August 23, 2020, 05:44:25 PM »

I did get a tracking number but when I put it in the search for UPS it's not recognized yet. Hopefully it will be here by Tuesday or Wednesday anyway.

Paul, Scott and Wayne, thanks for trying to help me out here, at first I read some reassuring answers when I inquired on a specific thread I started earlier, to ask about this.

But now the timing is making me think - I ordered at 11:34 am on Friday 8/21. That's earlier than at least one of you guys' orders, yet still nothing. Hmmm...maybe it IS those hurricanes, but shouldn't I have at least received a tracking number?

mrbulk · « **Reply #169 on:** August 23, 2020, 08:24:10 PM »

BTW Paul, I also ordered a scope the next day (Sat 8/22) but nothing yet, in fact on the site it is still "processing". Hey maybe Crosman is still checking me out somehow since these are my first-two-ever orders from them direct and I used the Airgun Nation discount code of which I am not a signed up member!

Does anyone know if the magazines and single shot tray for Puncher work with the new Benjamin’s?
Thanks,
Bryan

They do NOT, the Puncher magazines are wider. Other than that the magazines look alike and insert into the breech the same.

Should I order another? Hmm.. Which one will be next? Heck, I may end up with one of each eventually...

My Akela will be in the classifieds in a week or so and even better priced than a new one with better performance to boot.

What’s up Troy, give use the truth brother.

Nothing's up. Fantastic fun. Only bought it to get the measurements and test the tuning methods. Even though the valve stem and valve itself are identical to the Kral Jumbo, the valve drop block is just different enough that my valve design doesn't fit. I'll be using a more conventional way to squeeze a little more performance from it and test a few things then put it on the block. It was NEVER a keep gun for me. It was bought with full intention of resale. Has to be one of the best sub $600 bullpups made. Benjamin made great design changes for their guns and no doubt they will gain traction. I'll tune this one to an accurate 48 shots in the 30fpe range and find her a new home. The first test gun always gets a few marks on it because it's taken apart so much so this one could never be sold as a new tuned gun so I'll let someone enjoy the work and education I've gotten at a discount. Wouldn't hesitate to buy any one of the three if I was in the market for a keeper gun.

Thanks for the honest input, I really appreciate that

That gun should sell like a Big Stack of Hot Gourmet Pancakes!!

I hope so. It'll be hard to find another gun with this performance tuned for $400.

Thank you to our advertisers!
