Benjamin Airguns Releases Cayden, Akela and Kratos PCP’s
Benjamin Airguns is premiering three new PCP powered, multi-shot, side lever hunting air rifles into the lineup of already impressive Benjamin products. Cayden, Akela, and Kratos, diversely designed into three different styles, are the newest additions for air rifle enthusiasts. Ideal for small game, varmint hunting, pest control, or recreation.
Kratos (.22) Multi-Shot Side Lever Hunting Air Rifle
The new air rifles feature Turkish Walnut stocks with an adjustable cheek piece, a rifled steel barrel, and lead pellet velocities of up to 1,000 feet per second and up to 60 shots per fill. “Turkish walnut is one of the premium choices for a gunstock because of its dark mineral lines and exotic figuring. That is one of the things I love the most about these rifles, and it really speaks to the Benjamin brand”, said Phillip Guadalupe, Product Manager. The Cayden and Akela will be available in .22 caliber, while the Kratos will come in both .22 and .25 caliber. All three models will be shipping in June 2020.
