    Benjamin Benji Akela?

    Did Benji discontinue this rifle? I have one and really like it, but I do not see it available anywhere. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough?

    Benjamin P-Mag leak: could it be this simple?

    About three years ago I bought a few P-mags. One I tricked out with some aftermarket accessories and is my go-to critter getter. Held air for near 18 months, needle never dropped. The other was a different story. At first, it held air fine. Did a few upgrades and was gonna give it to my 16 y/o...

    P-Mod suddenly not holding pressure?

    I have a P-Mod I set up for recreational shooting and teaching younger children. I've had it for almost a year. I first had a simple 11mm/pic rail mounted with a red dot on top. This past winter I decided to mount a scope with 11mm rings direct to the receiver. After that, I started loosing...

    Teach 'em young?

    Once warmer weather is here, I plan to introduce airguns to my own children as well to some nephews. At what age should they get started? I have a 1st grader I am comfortable learning to shoot (obviously with me right beside him on the bench). Is this maybe too young? I'm spoiling them with...

    10m anyone?

    Does anyone shoot 10m on any level? Rifle or pistol?

    Mid/Big Bores?

    Currently, my biggest caliber is the Marauder in .25. I have been taking a serious look at the .357 specifically in the Air Force line. Ballistics resembles a 9mm carbine, or just about. Targets will be pest control like nighttime fox and coyotes and maybe daytime long distance groundhogs. The...

    The P-mod sniper pistol... how would you sling/holster this?

    I posted about this before, my P-mod sniper pistol. Need a way to either sling it or somehow holster it. Ideas? The pic rail is kinda occupied with the bipod. Not sure about a rear attachment.... the great interwebz I'm sure has options.

    Does anyone have experience with this PCP? The Diopter sight attracts me for some unknown reason...

    H&N Baracuda Hunter Extreme .22 - most impressed

    I have a P-mod set up as a carbine with a stock and a 2-7x Burris. Its my go-to critter gun, for sure. Shoots flat from 10yd. to 15 which is the most it will be used. We, as well as our neighbors, have a squirrel problem in our attics and they need to be "removed." Took a crack at the swinging...

    Winter storage of PCP: how much pressure left in the tube?

    One will be staying "on duty" for the winter in case of a backyard squirrel invasion. The others I'm gonna case up and put away until spring, unless we get a super nice Saturday and can flip some steel. Should I top 'em all off? Let 'em at 2000psi? What do you do?

    Pellet tins?

    They're just too cool to throw away. What does everyone do with theirs? Make Christmas tree ornaments out of them?

    AirForce Talon vs. Condor?

    An AF may very well be my next rifle. But for the life of me I cannot see any the difference between the two. Is one a repeater and the other single shot?

    My Benji Akela Thread!

    She arrived today. Keep in mind I am a rank newbie to PCP and have only been in this hobby for a little more than a month. All I have to say at this point is she's a stout girl! Wood is great, not the best walnut I've seen but I like it at first glance. Gonna mount up a Bug Buster I have waiting...

    Need help from my Crosman friends

    I have a few of the Crosman pumper pistols. Some years back I found some wood grips and fore-ends and would like to buy a few more, but cannot seem to find out where I got them. The grips have finger grooves. Unknown type of wood. I have a Marauder pistol I am building as well and could use some...

    This is the last PCP I'll ever need!

    ...and other lies we tell ourselves! For real though, I have a few Crossman 13XX that need some love before I buy another PCP.

    Getting the itch for a wood-stocked rifle!

    And I'm taking a serious look at the Marauder Field & Target. (and I have a Bug Buster scope without a home). I love my "black & tactical" guns but I loves me a nice walnut stock too. The Akela looks nice as well. Tempting.... Change my mind.

    Beyond the .25?

    I keep going back to the .30 and .357 calibers for pest control. I'm sure the .25 is enough for my intentions, but I am getting the itch for another PCP and these bigger guns are on my radar. A part of me says to stick with the .177/.22/.25 platforms I have. The other is curious, I guess...

    My P-mod thinks its a sniper rifle!

    I'm kinda a history buff and I heard about a French "sniper revolver" that was put in use back in the 70's... long barrel, scope and a bipod. So one of my P-mods took up the challenge and here we are. Waiting on a BKL mount to mount a 2-7x. Threw a red dot on for the moment.

    Own more than one of a make/model?

    I'm really digging the P-mods for some reason. My first one a put an AR stock on and a 2-7 Burris I had. Makes for a handy little critter getter! Second one was gonna be left as a pistol but my son took a liking to it. It new sports the original shoulder stock and a Bug Buster scope. I still...

    Ideal optic for the Benji P-mod?

    I decided to keep this one a pistol. At the moment, I have a Burris micro-dot on a BKL pic mount. Accurate, just looks janky. I would like a bit of magnification, though. Also, any ideas on adding a single-point sling attachment, like near the breech? My other P-mod is rockin' an AR stock and...
