2021 Benjamin Catalog

[Ed24]

I think the Gunnar is still a Kral. Which I really like the look of. But what IF it's actually a design of there own???

I have a Kral Jumbo Dazzle and I think the Gunner looks like a better version? 

[Acapulco]

Not for me...Was never really interested in Turkey made guns.

[Lani52]

I have never been interested in Turkish guns either.  However about 2 months ago while holding my finger over the send button for a SAM on the Crosman site.
I decided more research on the SAM was prudent, I am very glad I read John’s thread on his SAM, so I bought the Kratos instead, so far I would rate it  up there with the two Royale I had, one of which Knifemaker still lusts after.

I had said no more foreign airguns since my Skyhawk tribulation and HOW DIANA MADE LOVE TO ALL OF US SKYHAWK BUYERS, if you get my drift.

The Crosman guarantee sold me, and my Kratos is a definite winner.

I still think the Gunner is a Hassan Factor, there are no other airguns that so closely match the features and visual profile out there.  I have one Hatsan, another brand I thought I would never buy, but it is not a airgun, it is the Spark compressor, the jury is still out on that one, however when it fails, I will replace it with a Benjamin compressor for the same reason I got the Kratos, parts and service stateside, unlike D8ana, and obviously that one still stings.

Would I buy the Gunner, again only du diligence and time will tell.

The Gunnar is a design that I have been working  with Kral on for the past year. The project started well before Hatsan even released anything in the Factor from what I can tell. It was out of coincidence because I launched the 3 platforms under the craftsman series and wanted to do something more tactical with the bench shooter in mind. Which is what there is a lot of adjustments and capabilities for the consumer.

I am glad that you love your Kratos!!

[SADave]

Glad to hear you got alot of input in the design, the Gunnar definitely looks cool.

Do you know any details on the C362 or the new Challenger with the side lever? Both seem really promising.

[Crosman Engineer]

SADave - I can cover the Challenger questions as I am the lead on that project. I know enough about the 362 to be dangerous but I can always ask the lead engineer about it.

Do we have an idea when the Gunner will be available?? I really like it. Especially if you could put a carbon fiber bottle on it.

[MileHighAirgunner]

Midway USA has the Gunnar listed on their website now. Retailing at $999.99. I do not have any faith in the estimated in stock date however.
Haven’t seen it listed on PA or AD or anywhere else yet.

[TroyHammer]

Wish they would figure out that the bottled Kratos gets more shots per fill than the standard tube Cayden / Akela does.
 

All you need is a new spring set. The Kratos should do 50+ shots with only a twin spring debounce.

Is the new breech compatible with any of the other Crosman or Benjamin guns? Also is the reg a new one or the one that Crosman already uses?


Saw the C362 on midway, list price was $90.

[Hoosier Daddy]

How outstanding is it that we have Phillip and John from Crosman chiming in!!!

50? Try 150+ on mid power in factory tune! I bet I could get 200 shots from a single fill on low power!!!
My point was the Kratos is a bottle gun. The Cayden and Akela  have a regular tube.
The MASSIVE shot count of my Kratos on a single fill is Jaw dropping and what drew me to it.
50 shots barely moves the gauge!

Have to Agree !

I'm talking well over 50 at full power.  900+ with 18.13jsb. And being conservative. I'm getting 60 shots on a fill at 32fpe from the Puncher Breaker and near 100 at full power with the Jumbo. 

[Crosman Engineer]

Dave - The breech is not a direct swap with any other guns.  However, it is an easy mod to retrofit a marauder to accept it. The regulator is the same as the Mrods just set much lower.

The 362 is going to be awesome!  I think people will really like we we have done with it and the potential for upgrades.

Phillip and I try and get on here every now and then as we get direct feedback from our customers and learn about what modifications you are making to our products.

I missed the Kral part on this with my one letter at a time magnified reading.  Kral bones are much better.
