NOTE: 2 shots and breech O-ring blew out of barrel. Searched online, seems to be common and can be solved by lubricating prior to firing. (Worth Noting!!) I replaced and lubed, so far so good, ordered extra rings. Cheap Magazine, spring on one only lasted 2 loads and spring got weak-hangs up now.
Pros
Just arrived, nice shooter. Scope seems to be dialed in well on out the box. Overall, I like the rifle. Was slightly disappointed at first but improving. Will keep updated in the future.
Cons
Bolt does not lock fully back to insert magazine, I contacted AGD chat with Mathew Z. was told "Oh well just manually pull the bolt back to insert mag." I think this reply was weak and BS. Not sure if I will trust AGD for tech advice in the future. Magazine would be better if not plastic. 2 shots and breech o-ring blew out of barrel. Searched online, seems to be common and can be solved by lubricating prior to firing. (Worth Noting!!). Cheap Magazine, spring on one only lasted 2 loads and spring got weak-hangs up now. Scope cover cracked.
Even tho it may seem like there are a lot of cons they are more than likely due to a learning curve and are user error. Its a nice looking gun and is fun to shoot.
Pros
Very accurate, The Scope is easy to dial in and works well. Bipod is nice and does its job. Easy to air up with compressor. Trigger is amazing on this.
Cons
This gun is VERY heavy. I put a sling on it to carry while hunting. The only issue with that is if you keep the Bipod on it digs into your back. There is also nowhere on the stock to attach the sling. Had to use a key ring to attach it. Would be nice if the bipod came with some instructions. Stock is not the most solid. Be nice if it had a folding stock since this gun is long. The Magazine could use a magnet on it to help it go into place easier like my Notos. Did have several times the magazine didn't feed a pellet into the barrel. Hard to tell if you have a pellet in the barrel or not. I double-loaded it once. Cocking it seems a little stiff but it might get easier as it gets used.
Pros
Thought it was a good gun, but it doesn’t hold air and it shoots crooked. I checked everything try to cite it in and it still shoots crooked.
Got the .25 Cal thinking I would be able to defend my sheep from the feral hogs that have been attacking them. Needless to say I have pushed back the Beasts and got some food out of it ( Lamb flavored Bacon) LOL. 40 Yards Head Shot.
Pros
Powerful, Super Accurate, Quiet, and Best of all No Paperwork (not a firearm).
Cons
Heavy.
I shot my .22 caliber metal silhouette targets and it does hit hard! Very satisfying sound when hitting them at 50 yards too! Very satisfied to have gone with the Armada as my first PCP airgun!
Pros
Great trigger and it shoots a nickel sized group at 25 yards with Crosman Premiere 14.3 gr pellets. The Center Point scope isn't bad for this platform. I like the ability to customize it with off the shelf AR parts.
Cons
Definitely a heavy rifle but it shoots so well that I don't mind. Buttstock and grip provided are mil-spec per the instruction manual. Adjustable buttstock is loose / wobbly as prior comments have noted. I had planned to change it out for a stock that has a better cheek weld and rubber pad anyway.
Pros
What a shooter! Once I got this dialed in 5here was no stopping it. I am shooting starlings at 50 to 70 yards with a 2 mil drop between the two. I have 5 PCP's including an FX but this is my go to gun. It's a bit heavy but that 's helps with stability. Be sure to match the right pellet to this gun.
Cons
A bit heavy,
Pros
What a super gun! I have the .22 and I am hitting starlings out to 80 yards. The accuracy of this rifle is amazing. I have 5 PCP rifles and this is my go to when I am not having to move around. It's a bit heavy. If you can only afford one gun, I would say buy this one. It's also super quite.
Cons
A bit on the heavy side.
I got the .25 cal and live it, everyone that sees it is like holy $4!t thats an air gun.
My 1st shots sighting in the scope did a lot of damage. For safety reasons I mounted a 1/2" cement backer board and a 1/2" piece of composite siding to my 3/4" thick wooden fence. It cleared all 3 layers and lodged into a small tree trunk. I am amazed at the accuracy of this beautiful gun.
Pros
Almost everything.
It is so quiet for a .25 cal.
Cons
I keep spending more money for extra stuff to trick out the gun. LOL
Question?
Login to ask someone who bought this product.Can the barrel be replaced with a 700mm or a 800mm barrel.
asked HARRY from USAbest pellets for hunting and the best for target?
asked craig from USAIs the scope first focal plane or second focal plane?
asked Joshua from USAI read on different boards that on the earlier models stock is not aligned with the barrel and this makes zeroing in your scope difficult. Also, anyone have any issues with the pressure gauge? A friend of mine had his gauge broken right out of the box.
asked Xavier from USAWhat are the best ammo use in this rifle?
asked Sean from USAIn .22 cal, I recommend the JSB Exact Diablo Jumbo Heavy 18.13 gr. As well as the Air Arms Diabolo Field 16 grain pellets as my most accurate. The JSB 18.13 are almost impossible to get ahold of tho, so Ive been sticking with the Air Arms Diabolo Field 16 grains. They work quite well.
John from USAWould a air venturi g9 pump work on this Benjamin armada
asked William from USAYes, I have an Air Venturi G9 pump that I use to fill my .22 Armada.
John from USAIs there a suppressor available for this model?
asked John from USAThis model is integrally suppressed. There are seven removable baffles in the barrel held in by a screw cap at the front. You can shoot this either suppressed or unsuppressed out of the box.
David from USAGood evening, how many shots can be made with a single charge of a .25 caliber.
asked Marco from USAYou should expect 8 good shots from this rifle when you charge to 3000 psi. Since this rifle does not have an air regulator, you will have variances in pellet velocities as the pressure in the air reservoir drops. I installed a Hill Air regulator and I get 12 consistent shots per charge now.
Robert from USAis this the new model? or the older version ?
asked ANDREW from USAMine was the new model. Degassing tools are no longer furnished, nor required to bleed off the air in the air reservoir now.
Robert from USADoes it comes with a case?ammos? And how big the kick for this gun
asked Junfeng from USANo case or ammo. Comes in a brown box. There is virtually no recoil in small caliber PCP airguns, which is partly why they are so easy to shoot accurately
Val from USAI want to buy the 25 cal armada just want to know how it shoots out to 50 yards. Also can you upgrade the barrel
asked Rodney from USAShoots beautiful out to 100+ yrds with the right ammo and optics. I am striking matches and splitting toothpicks at 100 yrds
Tony from USAWhat Pump Would Work with this? A buy link would be appreciated
asked Tyler from USAI purchased a Yong Heng 4500 psi compressor to fill the tank in about 2 minutes from 0. From 2000 psi to 3000 psi takes about 30 seconds. The Yong Heng compressors can be found on eBay and Amazon for under $300.
Robert from USACan this Rifle use flip up sights ? what about the height ?
asked Scrambler82 from USAYes. But not if a scope is attached
Tony from USACan this rifle use hard sights ? Flip-Ups, standard open sights, anything other than a scope !
asked Scrambler82 from USAYes
Tony from USAWhat is the range with this?
asked Duane from USAI am getting groups of .5"-1" at 108 yrds

Tony from USAGostaria de sabet se envian para o brasil.e qual seria o valor e segurança de recebimento do profuto
asked Ederaldo fromHow does a 2 stage trigger work? Which trigger final fires? If front trigger pulls first, which way do you push/pull it? Is it adjustable?
asked Pat
In my assessment, I would say that this rifle has a few bugs to get worked out before it's an efficient shooter. Out of the box, it takes some work. Had I known this beforehand I most likely would not have purchased it.
Pros
Overall look is ominous. AR Style platform for easy upgrades. Quiet. Definitely backyard friendly. Shoots straight, when it actually goes off.
Cons
Upgrade bipod - it works but definitely Chinese made flimsy. Same with expandable stock. Scope looks good but also cheaply made. I leveled the scope (right/left) and found that the reticle is crooked. They installed the scope into the rings slightly off center to cover up this fact. If I knew what I know before I ordered the rifle combo, I would've just ordered the rifle by itself. As it stands now I will end up dropping more cash to upgrade these flimsy Chinese additions. The bolt action is very hard to operate. Pulling back to reload requires an unacceptable amount of tension. To my disappointment, a pellet would load but no air behind it. I would have to remove the mag and recock it in order to fire the round.
