You are referring to the new Discovery (PCP/Co2)?

I don't know of anyone here who has bought one yet- seems only the U.S. has been getting shipments of them so far (so the rest of the world has to wait a bit longer). From what I've seen of them, people who have bought them think they are good for the money- but are not, by any means, the ultimate in PCPs or dual-fuel guns. But, for that $400 price tag with a pump no one can expect top-of-the-line stuff I wouldn't think.

If you get your hands on one- please post a review and some pictures.

I will give a review if I get one. I know this is apples and oranges, but, i'm also considering an air force condor.

WOW! No contest!!! Go with the Condor.


In the end, you will be glad that you did.
It's a WAY more versatile, powerful and
accurate gun.

The first time that you fire it on high power (65-70 fpe) with
a 29 grain Eun Jin pellet and it completely rips
through a 2x6 at a distance (it will do so 20+ times
on a fill) you will have a big smile on your face.
Plus, on low power, it has more power (19 fpe) than most
magnum springers and gets over 150 shots on a fill.

I think that owning both of them can be usefull. A Condor is high pressure, and the Disco is (relatively) low pressure.

Yes, I do have a chrony. It's almost a
necessity with a Condor.

How is a rimfire a better buy? I won't shoot a rimfire anywhere but on the shooting range, but I shoot air rifles in my front yard.

Air powered is safer to actually use and more accurate than any of the cheap rimmies I've shot . . . Shocked

Well, air power being safer isn't something I would agree on, after seeing some rifles.

I've already got too many rim fires. The reason I got into air rifles is because it's so much easier to gain permission to shoot on ranchers/farmers land when they think your using a "toy" gun.

In the hands of a maniac, even a toaster can be dangerous. Mr. Green

I got your point though, and for mostly I agree that air arms are a at least a bit safer. Razz
