I know we have not built them all just don’t know the qty. we started late last year and we build them in batches as needed. Build quality should be the same from #0001 to #2023 because we specifically delayed things for so long because we wanted to make sure everything was perfect. We had to...
Hey Ed
The 362 is built in American but we do get the stocks made in Turkey. They make the wood stocks for the Benjamin Marauder and the craftsman series of rifles. So there will be some variation from stock to stock. When it comes to the stocks most of them will look good and then you will...
Basically theses pellets have been around for quite some time. These are not Single Die Match Grade pellets. Discovery series has been around since the Benjamin Discovery days. The packaging was just updated because we had to take off the Jim Shockey image from the card but went with the new...
Lots of catching up to do on the chat. I’ve been on a plane and now on a train in Germany. I will be at the IWA show in Nuremberg.
Basically you guys are in line with my approach. I’ve introduced some cheaper and more affordable options under the Crosman brand while maintaining the higher end...

I 100% agree with you. That’s why you will see sights on almost all of our break barrels. We have maybe 2 on the low end but it’s just a price point thing.
I was mainly using them as example. The vantage has a thin barrel and lever point is closer where as the Trail has the same barrel inside...
Just out of curiosity. When you say just a traditional steel barrel are you talking more on the lines of whats on a Crosman® Vantage® NP (.177) - Crosman.com or more like the Bull barrel look of the Benjamin TRAIL XL MAGNUM.
Do you care for sounds suppression?
I have to check out his review. i dont recall seeing that one. We made some changes to the pellet guide and how it feeds and will be implemented on all new guns going forward. The trailhawk should definetely have those changes.
I was the one that did that survey. I will say that I had all three Akela, Cayden and Kratos in the work prior to the survey. I still refer back to that survey so nothing is lost. We have things in the works that I hope you will like but can’t give any specifics. It’s definitely been a...
