While I was patiently waiting for my Discover over the weekend I did some googling for bling to add to it. The first thing of note was a barrel shroud. Although I think I'd like mine done in black to match the rest of the barrel rifle. A good example is found here...

Other then how quiet the Marauder is vs the Discover, what's the next most wanted feature? The capablity of doing multiple rapid shots. Well guess what, someone figure out how to do this with a Discovery (22xx and a few other rifles too!)

Watch this bling in action!

You can cut down on sound BIG time on a disco with a TKO 6.5" Stage V Muzzle

You can also get a Repeating magazine for the Benjamin Discovery

I'll take a look at that muzzle break in a bit. Um, that's the same repeater youtube link that I posted.

I talked with the guy who make that video.
He own both a Disco and Mrod and says with theTKO breaks is ALMOST as quiet as the Mrod!!

they both have their virtue. the mroder is a solid big rifle.
the disco is a carbine.

I think there is alot to say for the Disco. For one thing there is so much tech stuff and info out there. If I get another PCP, the next one will probably be a Disco. The biggest reason I went with the Mrod first is the hope of a really quiet rifle. It would fun to build a custom Disco. I really like the smaller size of the Disco too. I think it is 2 pounds lighter. My Mrod is going on a diet, I can tell you that. First to go will be the stock Cool

I believe Bob Sterne looked into the QB mags a few weeks back, and they have not actually make a Disco/22xx magazine, and are way behind on their previously defined production schedule. I may stand to be corrected on this, but even the website has a -blank- where the Disco manual for the magazine should be.

Anyone have some newer info on this?

I finally got my RIM2 setup for my Disco.... Jay seems to be a good guy but he got buried in other work.... He says the Disco magazines are now in stock and ready to ship.... I actually did a review on the other forum I frequent.... would have copied it here except there is no "Equipment Review" forum.... Eric.... Embarassed

Tell you what, I'll paste it in Accessories....

"Equipment Review". Bob's a funny guy- that's why we have different areas- you can post a review in any applicable area! Very Happy

I sent an email just after posting my last comment, and got an email back fairly quickly- and apparently yes, they are indeed producing the Disco units now as Bob mentioned.
