About the Benjamin Fortitude
The Benjamin Fortitude is an American pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) bolt-action air rifle produced by Crosman under the Benjamin brand. Introduced in 2018, it fires .22 caliber pellets from a 10-shot Marauder-compatible rotary magazine and pairs a built-in pressure regulator with a 3,000 PSI onboard cylinder to deliver a long, consistent string of up to around 90 shots per fill. Its fully shrouded barrel keeps the report backyard-friendly, and the adjustable two-stage trigger and integrated pressure gauge make it a popular value-priced entry into regulated PCP shooting.
The Fortitude brought the regulated PCP experience to a budget price point, using the same Marauder-compatible magazine and shrouded barrel technology as Benjamin's more expensive rifles to make consistent, high-shot-count air rifle shooting affordable for newcomers.
