The Benjamin discovery kit is not something that we’re going to be able to cover in just one or two segments. Because this rifle, in my opinion, is the perfect “first airgun” for anyone moving over from firearms, I want to be as thorough as necessary. Let’s take a closer look… The Benjamin Discovery weighs […]
Benjamin Discovery Part 1 – The Game Changer
We’ve been looking at how to transition to airguns from rimfire and center fire guns. The transition is frustrating if you don’t know what to expect. We’ve looked at some entry level break barrels and while I can get them to shoot OK at close range, I can tell you that you’re not going to […]
The famous, rather the infamous Crosman Trigger
If you read any customer reviews of Crosman spring and nitro piston guns like the Nitro Venom, you’ll find that they all may have good things to say about the gun, but very few if any sing the praises of the their triggers. They are promoted as “two stage adjustable” triggers which will really depends […]

Understanding the Quattro Trigger Adjustments
We’re going to spend a little bit of time looking at how to adjust a few common triggers. The trigger is the shooter’s connection to their gun.

Adjusted .25 Marauder and a windy day on the range.
I know I left you all hanging with the last article and frankly that’s part of the fun of writing these blog posts. In this part 2 we’ll take a look at how our newly adjusted .25 cal Synthetic Marauder did on the range. My hope was to be able to stretch things out to […]
Marauder .25 Cal after a little TLC
I was not sure what to expect in my initial review of the new Synthetic .25 cal Marauder. I thought it would shoot and act just like the original. Well, that’s what I get for thinking. If you take a look at the video, or read the video transcript here on Airgun Depot, you’ll see […]
Gamo Silent Cat w/ Hawke Scope – 20 yard groups
In our last article about the Gamo Silent Cat we found that it was doing pretty darn well at 10 yards with the 10.3 Grain JSB Heavy pellets. So well in fact that I was inclined to replace the sub-par scope with a Hawke 3-9×40 AO Sport HD and a set of Hawke Match Grade […]

If you’re in the hunt for a target shooter, you’ll want to have one of these in your arsenal. Bronze: Budget Bullseye Shooter […]

HW50 – Part 4 – Accuracy at 20 yards w/ Hawke Scope
Finally! – We are going to wrap up the review of the HW50 medium powered .22 breakbarrel. We are going to use the same test pellet series as previously tested, we’ll just be shooting outdoors at 20 yards vs indoors at 10 yards. I’ve also added a Hawke 4-12×40 Airmax EV AO scope with MAP6 […]
Customer service exists to service customers
As I mentioned in the previous article on Customer Service, I used to just send defective sample products back for a complete replacement. But, after enough of the replacements also exhibited issues, some the same, some different, I changed my process and started dealing directly with the manufacturer’s customer service department. I learned something very […]
