I just recieved my brand new air rifle. In two days I have put close to 450 pellets through it (16 diferent styles and brands). I am very impressed with the rifle and scope over-all. The trigger(Gamo Clone) is trully JUNK!!! The trigger has 3/4" to 1" of take-up in the second-stage. It will not adjust out. I am 69 years old and also own a RWS DIANA 34(.177). as well as a Weihrauch (Beeman) HW97KT (.177), both with Reckord Triggers. I have owned them for enough time to have put in many hours "behind the gun". The Benjamin Trail is a fine rifle, and after seasoning the barrel. shoots very accuratly. It can hold it's own with the German guns. The only problem is that you never know when it will fire because of the lousy trigger. Mine is going to get a trigger from CharliedaTuna as soon as it gets here! You should really think about putting a better trigger in this gun. You would sell many more of these guns if you did. Several of my friends that I shoot with were very excited when they saw and handled the gun. That went away after they tried to shoot it!! Do yourselves a favor and improve the gun, you will benefit in the end. To answer your next question, No I would not recomend this gun with the current trigger. If it is changed, I would highly recommend it!!!

I bought this about a month ago. My first pellet gun. Wanted to target shoot and keep a few pests at bay. My wife doesn't want to hear anything about that: ("But they're so cute!"), so I do these things when she's not around (chips & tree rats). Got my wife to try the rifle and she loved the target shooting, so I bought her one so we could compete. My son got involved so I ended up getting him one as well.

Now at age 60 years I am not easily impressed, but I am with this rifle. Once I found my comfort groove with what pellets to use for best consistency (Crosman 10.5 gr. Premier Domed & Gamo 9.6 gr. Rockets) we were all set. (Either of these pellets are excellent for "take downs", with the Crosman pellet much more economical.) The scope is good for its purpose, and I can't see replacing it with another at $40-50, but you do what you want.

The trigger at the factory setting has a VERY long pull that I found inconsistent AND annoying. Once adjusted as described in the manual, we were all happier with the rifle, and our accuracy improved: dime-sized groupings at 10 yards & quarter-sized at 75 feet. Found the rifle to be very quiet with the exception of PBA pellets that produced a definite "crack" sound. As we couldn't get groupings under 5" with them, we no longer use them, so no worries.

All in all, we could not be happier with the accuracy and sheer power of this rifle. Once properly adjusted (for a particular pellet) the scope puts you dead on. If you are going to use multiplt pellet types, I suggest you mark down the scope settings for each. My only regret is that I didn't buy the .22 cal version.

I have one of these guns, very accurate after you run a hundred or so pellets through. Scope is very clear and precise, i find. It has alot of power, so be aware. Destroys rabbits very well indeed... you wont be sorry you bought this rifle.. Kym..

Really like this pellet gun, however trigger pull is to long making it a less accurate than what it could be with a better trigger. Good value for money airgun, looks really mean! Piccatini scope rail very handy for mounting different optics. Managed to get 1 inch grouping at 25 feet. Still experimenting with different pellets. Well done Crosman!

This is a truly amazing pellet rifle. It has very good accuracy, but is very heavy. I reccomend putting a bipod on it. The barrel is very large, (over 25mm in diameter) so most clamp-bipods will not fit. I had to shave down my barrel to fit on a 25mm mount, that I then put a bipod on. This gun looks very tactical, so compliment it with the scope mounted flashlight laser combo. The scope is fairly easy to zero, it took me about an hour, and that was my first time ever doing that. From about 40 yards you can have a grouping of about an inch, so it is a good varmint rifle. Be carful however, as this gun CAN shoot 1,200 fps, so take the same precautions you would a real firearm. Great job Crosman on yet another fine made gun.

I've bought one. Accuracy is more then nice. It is comfortable for me, but i hoped it would be a little more powerfull.

I love this rifle. First I couldn't sight it in but then after breaking in the scope (turn the elevation and windage knobs in and out all the way a couple of times to loosen things up inside) I got great accuracy. Awesome looks, very practical and sturdy. The weaver style scope mounts are great and the scope that comes with it is good. Great value. Very powerful but quiet shooting. I absolutely recommend this rifle if you like to shoot airguns.

I love this rifle. However, I just can't get consistency. I tried different kind of pellets and so far RWS seems to work, but still cant get dead on consistency. Very powerful, BE WARE THIS GUN IS VERY POWERFUL. I love the stock, I like the look, it's very sturdy and whats more is that I love the weaver style scope mount. Very good quality.
