ya im wondering if the benchmark frames suck, cause someone said they are crap others said they are ok. Im building a mag and i just put a bid in for a rail/forgrip/frame deal for 60 buxs. Although i doubt im going to get it for 60 id still like to know if they suck.

From what I understand their trigger is shakey ...

Go for the Intelliframe man ..lol.. Other than HPA its the best upgrade i've done to my mag ...

Sincerely,

there good triggerframes, its just they have alot of slop in them. This con be corrected by a few set screws and some shimming...


there the olny frame besides the z grip and the intelli that doesnt void the agd warrenty... that should say alot.. there actually made to agd's standards.

They are great frames, they have lots of leverage, its a nice smooth (but long, overtravel can be fixed by a trigger stop)
I reccommend them, they are great for the price and I loved mine to pieces :)
Yea, the trigger is a bit wobbly but I diddnt mind much..

a few of you are going to hear this for the second time now. BUT I LOVE MY BENCHY!!!!!!!!!!!!! i think its because i have difficulty pulling a short trigger and i love the softness of the pull. awe man do i love that frame. but if longer softer is your thing than email tunaman at [email protected] and he can get you a shorter stiffer pull i frame.

They suck unless you install set screws and shims. I'd go with the Intelli instead (and yes I do own a Benchmark frame because it came with my trade)

the benchy doesn't even compare to the intelli! They're not bad, as long as you like a long trigger pull. I've found the intelli to be a shorter pull, and it's easier to rip on.

They Suck. Too much slop, a pull longer than a Spyders, whomever designed them was on crack.

You can make a nice frame out of the 1x with a little work (And it's acceptable with a Retro), the 2x aren't worth the effort.

The intelliframe is not an electronic frame. It's a regular 2x 45 frame with a mounting bracket to use when adding a switch for intellifeed.

I love my single trigger benchy so much i could wet my diaper. But the 2x trigger is a little too NAUGHTY for my liking. :o

I had it on my Mag for 1 day and then I sold it to get my Intelli. Don't get me wrong I can't say it sucked, it had a smooth light trigger pull. But it was to long of a pull and I could easily short stroke it. I know alot of people that love them. Its all about preference. Best thing to do is to try it out before you purchase it. Who knows you might like it.:)

i have a single trigger benchy on my mag and i have not encountered any probs. i am going to get an inteliframe but the main reason is to hook it up to my revvy. the only thing i am not fond of is the safety, but its not a big deal really.

I have a single finger benchy.. i love mine, the trigger is lighter than stock, and more responsive, and i can really bounce with it. i kinda want a intelli, but id rather keep my benchy
