Don’t Forget Ammo and Accessories

These are some of the best hunting air rifles on the market, but don’t stop there. We offer many other air guns, so have a look around to find the one that speaks to you. Beyond air guns, we offer plenty of accessories to personalize your Benjamin, as well as air and ammo products so you’re always prepared for the hunt. For example, our 81001 Buddy Bottle makes recharging on the go a breeze, and our spare mags allow for rapid, stealthy reloading.

Of course, you’ll need to have plenty of ammo on hand for your air gun hunting adventures. We offer a variety of traditional pellets, as well as ballistic bullets, hollow points, slugs, and more.

New Ammo Launching Early 2023

Exciting news! We’re launching a new line of .177 (10.5gr), .22 (14.3gr), and .25 (27.9gr) Single Die Domed Pellets around March of 2023. Initial test results are extremely impressive, and there are a number of significant improvements the community is sure to appreciate:

  • Single die pellets: Every pellet in the tin is made from the same die.
  • Single source lead wire: We’re working with a single supplier for better consistency in the balls that are formed into pellets.
  • Weight and head size consistency: By improving the consistency of the balls, we’re also able to reduce weight head size variation so you can really hone in on your air gun hunting approach from shot to shot.
  • Damage minimization: We’re upgrading our handling process to reduce damage to pellets.
  • Flash reduction: Longer tumbling times minimize flash.
