I did find the pellets I had been using in my Crosman and using my better hold I could get some 1.25" groups with the old rifle. I also remounted the scope. I guess my eyes just won't handle open sights any more.

My friend ordered a Marauder so I'm going to see how he likes it. If I can't get my hold more consistent a 34 would probably be a waste. I might have to consider a PCP.

I also picked up some cci low velocity to see how loud they are and if my rifle will group them.



This is a group shot with my Benjamin Discovery and the Crossman HP pellets at 50 yards outdoors. The rifle will print them like that all day, everyday

For the money you won't beat a Discovery ...gun with pump $320 ish and they shoot great, the added benefit to them is they are lightweight. A bit loud but not much more than a springer if any and you can get a moderator if it matters to you. Best deal in air rilfes out there $.02
