I just spotted this thread. I just started looking for a good .22 cal springer. While looking I found that Benjamin is about to ship a $200 version of the Discovery with a synthetic stock called the Maximus. Should I even consider this rifle considering that I would have to buy a hand pump for almost $200. This rifle operates at 2000 psi, so the hand pump would be doable.

Some years back I bought a Benjamin Trail Nitro, but the accuracy is not there. I know many people swear by the rifles, but mine may be defective in some way. Velocity varies too much and with it accuracy is not there. I was considering a RWS 34 in .22 cal, but now I am thinking Maximus.
