Crossman and Benjamin are two of the most recognizable names in the air rifle industry. Many people often do not realize that both actually belong to the Crossman family name as Crossman bought Benjamin back in 1992 with Crossman dating all the way back to 1924. The Craftsman Collection from Benjamin Air Guns has just been released focusing on hunters’ air gun needs out in the field.

New Craftsman Collection Air Guns Designed by Benjamin Airguns

The New Craftsman Collection of PCP (Pre Charged Pneumatic) air guns is available now from the Crossman website and comes in three variants. But be careful, while these are indeed airguns they are not toys!

The Cayden

The Cayden feeds from a 12-shot rotary magazine featuring a side cocking lever and boasting 30 shots on a single 3000 psi charge.

• Pre Charged Pneumatic (PCP) .22 Caliber Air Rifle
• Up to 60 Shots per Fill at 3000 PSI
• Delivers Pellets up to 1000 fps With 32 fpe
• 12-Shot Rotary Magazine
• Turkish Walnut Stock With Adjustable Cheek Piece
• Threaded 1/2 x 20 Barrel for Aftermarket Sound Suppression
• Includes a 5-Year Limited Warranty
• MSRP: $599

The Kratos

The Kratos differs from the Cayden slightly in that it doubles the amount of shots that can be taken on a single charge while still maintaining the 1000 fps shot velocity. This would make for a great all day pest control air gun. The Kratos also comes in a .25 caliber configuration.

• Pre Charged Pneumatic (PCP) .22 Caliber Air Rifle
• Up to 60 Shots per Fill at 3000 PSI
• Delivers Pellets up to 1000 fps With 32 fpe

• Turkish Walnut Stock With Adjustable Cheek Piece
• Shrouded Barrel With Integrated Sound Suppression
• Includes a 5-Year Limited Warranty
• MSRP: $699

The Akela

The Akela is a bullpup style air gun that shares the same high-volume shot capacity and shot velocity as the Kratos. As with the previous two hunting air guns, the Akela also features a Turkish walnut stock with an adjustable cheekpiece.

• Pre Charged Pneumatic (PCP) .22 Caliber Bullpup Air Rifle
• Up to 60 Shots per Fill at 3000 PSI
• Delivers Pellets up to 1000 fps With 32 fpe
• 12-Shot Rotary Magazine
• Turkish Walnut Stock With an Adjustable Cheek Piece
• Shrouded Barrel With Integrated Sound Suppression

All three of these new air rifles from Benjamin are available now from the Crossman website. Airguns like these work well for those who want a non-firearm solution for their hunting needs.
