Benjamin Airguns Announces New Entry Level PCP Rifle

Bloomfield, NY -(AmmoLand.com)- Benjamin Airguns, the premier hunting brand of Crosman Corporation, continues to lead the way in low cost, high performance precharged pneumatics with the introduction of the Maximus air rifle.

The single shot bolt action rifle is set in an attractive black synthetic all-weather stock and will be available in .177 and .22 calibers.

“Built in America, the Maximus is for those shooters looking for a PCP-powered rifle that delivers maximum performance for the price. It’s packed with features and can be filled easily with a hand pump,” says Jennifer Lambert, VP of Marketing for Crosman.

The Maximus has a maximum fill pressure of 2000 PSI and can deliver up to 30 shots. The action is machined to accept dovetail optic mounts and the barrel is threaded, opening the door to additional accessories and customization.

“With velocities up to 1000 FPS in .177 caliber and 900 FPS in .22, the Maximus will help hunters limit out on small game without having to empty their wallets,” says Sonia Nau, Product Manager.

The Maximus features an on-board pressure gauge for monitoring fill pressure and a single stage trigger. It will be available in Spring 2016 with an MSRP of $199.99 for both calibers.
