They didn't have it before now?
Seems Crosman is coming out with a new Discovery in mid-2009 called the "Marauder" (all black- no wood) which apparently has an aluminum breech and a few other smaller changes. You didn't hear that from me...  |

I posted this a couple of weeks ago.
Well the Crosman Benjamin Discovery has finally been released in the UK after months in a testing station, having its anti tamper power adjuster certified, the power is set at 11.7 lbs.
The promised modifications for the UK market have not been included it does have a thread for a silencer but it would appear that the extra length to clear the filler valve has not been done, so the silencer has to be removed before filling plus no silencer or pump is supplied.
From what I gather it will do 1 inch groups at 40m which is pretty good, also it will get 32 shots in .177 and 42 in .22.
One other thing is the cost £275.00 / $412.00 for the gun plus £120.00 / $ 180.00 for a pump, total £395.00 / $592.00. At these prices you can buy a BSA Ultra or an AA s200,
So I don’t think I’ll bother just yet.
Al.
