Questions for anyone who is experienced with Benjamin Armadas..

I would really like to find a big over size bolt as it seems to be a bi* ch to cock..

I know this is an old post. Nontheless, you do not need or want a larger bolt. What you do need is to either make or purchase (from AGR) a thumb rest that screws into the aft end of the tube cap. You place your thumb on the thumb rest and index fingers on the bolt in a close as possible to center line and then instead of pulling back with your hand, you just squeeze as if squeezing a rubber ball. Much easier to cock this way and as fast and tactile as a SL.

You are correct!
 
Has anybody tried the semi auto armada?
I've got one and love it. Pellet on pellet at 26 yards with Predator 11.1's. I just got some JTS 18's and 22's to try. It's all stock so far. The 22's don't load well. Going to try some adjusting. Just got a Garmin Chrono so I can start getting serious. My old Chrono was showing 930's with the Predators but not catching most shots.
It's takin down lots of coyotes at 20-30 yards. I'll have 12-15 go by a night. Some even come up my driveway. Well, let's say use to come by.
