One big difference is benchrest is outward scoring whereas pistol is inward.

So simplistically a pistol score of 100 would only be 90 on benchrest assuming the same target size.

Our club .22 LR Anschutz will put every shot literally through the same hole at 20 yards, as per comments above an air rifle needs to do the same to be competitive.

Ive tried my Walther LGM-2 at 20 yards and I can’t group as tightly as I can with the .22 Anschutz.
Lock time counts with firearms like 22lr That is where air rifles are at a disadvantage
