I purchased the rifle and it should be in next week. As a minimum, do you all have advice, maybe links to the ancillary equipment, such as adapters extra long hoses and pumps, I will need that will work with this rifle.

Comes out to less than $57.00 be sure to buy their maximum warranty added on unless you look forward to rebuilding it yourself if you are so inclined and able bodied and don't have arthritis or dexterity nor cognitive issues.

Only need a better added on filter. Others may have preferences but it's a necessity unless you live in an area of dry climate.

The Benjamin guns are rad. They have the male foster attached to the air cylinder so all you need is a standard pump. I highly suggest the cheapest pump on Ali express. I paid 35 for mine. Then I bought this in line filter from ebay and bought some desiccant beads from Amazon. It keeps air dry and the pump is reliable I've had 2 pumps for over a year now both going strong and I use them alot. https://www.amazon.com/Echaprey-Pressure-Compressor-Water-Oil-Sparator/dp/B07PPF6DY2/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=Hpa+Inline+filter&qid=1602036641&sr=8-3

The Warranty seems like a good thing at least until you have gone through a year or tow of shooting and worked the kinks out !
Airgun Depot didn't have an offer for a warranty, wonder if Benjamin has one they will sell me, just to be on the safe side

I have a .22 Armada with a Hill Airgun shortened shroud for easier portability, folding stock adapter, DonnyFL Tanto, and Magpul bipod.

That’s a nice setup @thepcplife.com . I have the .25 cal. Just got it few weeks ago. I sort of new to PCP,s. But found the Armada to be very interesting. And very tunable and customizable.
Without the moderator, did the sound level go up by a lot ?

To be honest, I can't remember. I removed the baffles when I replaced the shroud and don't even remember testing it without the moderator. The Armada was my first PCP rifle and love it. Accurate and quiet.

Just out today zeroing in my Armada with the Centerpoint scope it came with. Zeroed it at 26 yards, the test different diatances in between using Strelok. Again, "dead balls on accurate" at all ranges. Took a pest squrrel out at about 22 yds. Robins that nesting in my backyard was chasing it around trying to keep it away from their nest. Squrrels routinely detroy, eat/kill young birds or eggs. which is why it is never a good idea to feed these tree rats unless its a lead pellet!
