I bought this gun 2 weeks ago and have to date have neutralized 25 squirrels with minimal effort with my benjamin trail. My old remington had issues with delivering an incapacitating or killing shot. Not so with the Trail. Its powerful and devastating to small rodents. The scope is clear and easy to use ;and in conjunction wiht this commanding weapon capable of taking squirrels out with every well placed shot. I have to mention now that the trigger is very poor quality which is my only caveat with the gun and would give the gun 5 stars otherwise. I recommend using heavy pellets, you'll achieve much better accuracy and better results hunting.
I am an accomplished outdoors person and know what to look for in equipment. For a while i have had a persistent problem with squirrels pillaging my 8 avocado trees i have on the property. Ussually around this time of year i d be harvesting avocadoes and selling the rest for reasonable income. But with the lots around mind becoming overgrown squirrels have decimated my crop when my remington vantage .1777 became inoperable.

MADE IN CHINA. Good metalwork, except trigger. The trigger really hadicaps this rifle. Long heavy pull, almost 1/2" on my gun. You cannot tell when it will go off. I would call the trigger dangerous and or defective. Benjamin should have to offer replacements for this garbage part. My chronograph reports a little over 700 fps with Benjamin Premier .22 hollowpoints (14.3gr average), nowhere near the advertised velocity. I am ordering a GRT-III replacement trigger from Rober Werner. After it is installed I will comment on the accuracy potential. I do like the included scope. Good clear optics.

Comments about Crosman® Benjamin Trail NP .22-cal All Weather Air Rifle:
I bought this gun at Gander Mountain when I got home I spent all afternoon and evening trying in vain to sight it in even put a known good scope on it no good. Shot low and right no matter what at full adjustment. Yes you can correct droop but not if it doesn't shoot straight. First and last time I buy a crosman/Bengamin Rifle. Got a gamo whisper instead shoots staight as an arrow even with its crummy scope which I will replace with a Hammers 3-9x32AO.

Comments about Crosman® Benjamin Trail NP .22-cal All Weather Air Rifle:
i shot it for a week when the crosshairs on the scope started rotating. I had to bring it into gander moutian and they gave me a new one for free. It also dosent have enough power to take down anything bigger that a squirl unless you go for a head shot. When i shoot it on paper its everywhere but.. when i hit popcans and stuff its dead on. I would not buy this gun again... if i was you i would go for the gamo varmit hunter. Now that thing is powerful and accurate!

Comments about Crosman® Benjamin Trail NP .22-cal All Weather Air Rifle:
I was so confused buying this gun. I couldn't make up my mind. I almost bought something else, but bought the Benjamin anyway. I'm so very glad I did!! This is one sweet gun. Trust me, it is very accurate. I bought it over the weekend, and I've already got it sighted in dead on! It's no longer a virgin because I've already smoked my first victim, a starling. Don't go through all of the worry like I did, just buy one, and you'll be glad you did.

Comments about Crosman® Benjamin Trail NP .22-cal All Weather Air Rifle:
This gun is amazing. after 50 shots I was 5/5 hitting pennies at 50 yards. Remember these tips for accuracy. Scope mounted good, clean barrel, and most of all artillery hold. This gun has way less recoil and noise than a Gamo Varmint hunter HP. Also way better trigger, and more accurate than the Gamo Varmint HP I tested. I am excited to try this gun at 50 yards. Again its so quite and accurate when the scope, ammo, and hold are all figured out. I am going to upgrade the trigger, even though I can hit a penny every time at 20 yards, I can for see better accuracy with a quality trigger.
