I like my trail for the power and accuracy. but the trigger pull is way to heavy and the gun itself is way to heavy, im 6'2" 300pounds not all fat and after about 15 to 20 minutes of target shooting my arm is sore and its hard to steady the gun without a shooting stick. maybe a synthetic stock and trigger adjustment it would be a great gun. aloha

my best airgun ever and accuracy and lots of knock down power this is the best powerful maid i think.

Bought mine back in July and the more I shoot it the more I like it. Killed squirrels,rabbits and pest such as coons and possums and I enjoy target shooting. Great power well worth the money. Can't wait to see what it will do on a coyote. Thanks for the gun!!!!

I love it, built like a deer rifle not cheap and plastic. Suprised how well the trajectory was, I shoot 28 grain pellets and hardly had any drop at forty yards. I figured it would drop like a rock past 25 yards. Shot a squirrel and litterally blew it out of the tree. Hunted alot with 22 and never seen that. will recomend to to anyone wanting a hunting air rifle. I shot a empty five gallon bucket at 25 yards and got full penetration.. Didn't even knock bucket over or move it much, pop through both sides.

The more I shoot it the more I like it. Yes, the trigger could be better, but I am adapting to it. It takes about one hundred shots to get this gun to settle in. Nitro Piston beats a standard springer hands down and I believe Nitro Piston is the future (and I also own a classic German Springer). Very smooth shot cycle for the power. Accuracy is good. This is my first .25 air rifle.

The trigger is extremely poor, and is the weakest, and most important lacking feature. This is my third break-barrel style rifle, so I am not a newbie. Overall, I like the rifle, but how could they use such a poor trigger on such a fine rifle. I plan to void my warranty and install an after market trigger in my rifle right away.

I have to concur with the rest of the people here that the trigger has room for improvement. Another issue I discovered is an issue another reviewer mentioned, the machining around the breech SUCKS, IMHO. Going to have to take it to my gunsmith and have it deburred. Other than those 2 issues the gun is powerful and seems like benjamin wanted to make a quality rifle...Just one problem...NOTHING QUALITY COMES FROM CHINA. I would gladly pay more and have it made in the USA with USA quality.

After reviewing the best Trail NP to purchase (either the .177, .22 or the .25) I went with the .25. Not a lot has yet been reviewed in this forum for this gun but i am certainly glad of purchasing probability the best air gun of all times. Point to note: 150-200 shots is required to break in the gun or you might get anodyne why your groping is so scattered. Once broken in - wow spot on precision accuracy. Another point: Hunting and for accuracy i strongly recommend using the Baracuda Accurate Heavy pellets for this rifle as they are perfectly matched with maximum impact. 2 small let downs - First: Quite a heave gun which will take some getting use to if you have been using a smaller gun. Second: second stage feels like it will take forever and could certainly be shortened. For a better accuracy i have also found you can remove the shoulder strap. When the shoulder strap is waving about the gun is difficult to keep still. Once the strap is removed, it is much easier to steady and shots are more precise. Overall I still give a 5 out of 5 for a well designed gun excepting a second stage which you can get use to - Thanks guys for the design of a fantastic Airgun :)

I can not say in words how impressed i am with this gun right out of the box i was able to shoot the center out of a mcdonalds cup with out sighting it in but only problem i have with it is the grip cap just popped off as soon as i got it out of the its not a big deal i can fix it but overall very very accurate and fun to shoot(i might just screw the but cap back on to fix the problem out right and make it look good)

i reviewed this gun the last time but that was before i shot about 350 pellets in two days through it and still dont understand why its not grouping properly im doing the "artillery hold" or whatever you whant to call it and everything the pellets im using are pure lead benjamin.25 cal domed pellets but the reason why im giving it 4 stars is because it puts a smile on my face every time it goes straight through a foot of plywood and 2 by 4's
