This post is for Gear_Junkie...

Scott told me that for the most part he just plain refuses to work on Kral guns anymore, but then admitted he was pleasantly pleased with improved general quality and overall design of these new Turkish Benjamin imports... (not his exact words but along those lines)

Lol .... A little bird said , yea I'll work on those "Turkjamin" rifles should the inquire happen.

Being the Cayden is a tube gun, In-Tube HuMa regulation at this juncture looks feasible as well.

For a 500/600 dollar price point PCP, what I've seen so far gets my nod of approval. For what ever that's worth

Thanks guys, that's good news!!! Now they just need to come out with a .177cal.

Those 4 small cap head screws that hold the rear Pic rail and contain the side level and bolt are shallow and pretty soft. I picked up some 12.9grade with deeper well screws from home depot and upgraded after two of mine stripped. As most people will never remove them it's more of a caution to those of us who tinker.

I love this thread!

This thread has put the Avenger on the back burner. The Turkish Benjamin's looks like another winner.

Awesome thread. Thanks for all the info!!

Since this is the most popular thread on the new Benjis... and the most diverse gathering...
How stiff are your power adjusters?
Mine is very stiff, at least compared to my air Arms S400 SL.
Maybe it's because half of the knob is recessed in the stock so you can not fully wrap your finger / thumb around it.
I guess that is better than being loose, it certainly will stay where you set it.

My adjuster is stiff also.

Yep, mine is pretty hard to turn also. I think they could have made the knob a bit larger in diameter as well, especially since half of it is recessed into the stock. I think that would have made it easier to adjust. But, other than moving it twice just to get some chrony readings, it's been left on max, so it probably doesn't really matter that much to me...

Hoosier Daddy · « **Reply #231 on:** August 29, 2020, 12:53:36 PM »

Whew.. that is good to hear.
I sprayed a little "dry silicone" lube on mine and it seems a bit easier.
IF it really bothers me in the long run, a little dremmel sanding roll relief on the stock will get me a better GRIP.
Mine has been residing at the mid point except for testing...

There's a small set screw that holds a spring and retainer pin just to the side of the barrel retainer screw. A partial turn out should loosen some pressure from the adjuster without fear of it falling out.

Motorhead · « **Reply #233 on:** August 29, 2020, 01:07:52 PM »

As with all o-rings .. they will take a set and harden over time making the adjuster very likely EASIER to rotate as time passes.

Wayne52 · « **Reply #234 on:** August 29, 2020, 01:23:36 PM »

My adjuster is no different than everyone else's VERY STIFF !!!

My main objective with my Cayden at the moment is getting a couple more magazines for it

I haven't found anyone that's offering them yet . . . . Crosman doesn't even offer them yet I don't think.

I'm adding that picture of Scott's rogueish smiling face, working on that new rifle, to his profile picture in my contacts. Good times

Hoosier Daddy · « **Reply #238 on:** August 30, 2020, 12:05:53 PM »

Yes Wayne... I would like two more Mags as well.
But an EVP would be AWESOME!

Wayne52 · « **Reply #239 on:** August 30, 2020, 02:41:42 PM »

EVP manual is also something I'd really like to have too Scott.
