I have the new Benji Trail NP in .22 caliber. I think the scope is less than desirable but comes with the gun so no complaints. I do wish places like PA where I bought mine would offer a value of the scope to order a scope of choice upgrade instead. But back to the gun itself. Great looking gun from the box; seems well made; the long trigger is horrific (I suggest you invest $32 to get the Charlie DaTuna drop in true 2 stager made of anodized aluminum). This will help you for sure in your groupings. As far as NP powerplant...............this is my first so the verdict still out. I well tuned springer can be a delight if you never had one! But the nitro piston may be the future to a degree. The fact the gun can be cocked all day with no adverse effects is great! So they claim. 70% quiter............not sure yet. Any gun from the box with oiling will have a dieseling effect until cleaned and shot to break in the barrel. I suggest anyone with any gun pump about 200-250 quality pellets down the barrel for break in before even thinking about sighting in either iron sights or with a scope. The gun itself I believe a winner. Some bad reviews out there but that is indicative of anything made anywhere! Overall, good rifle; with a trigger by Charlie; great! As far as modding the stock trigger............heard it can be done if you know what to do! These guns have been through the trial phase I believe and current ones decent out of the box. But QC being made in China can be spotty. But the gun has a 1 year I believe so not too shabby. Problems usually present themselves from the box or very quickly with use. Congrats on the gun and enjoy!

get H&N Field Target Trophy pellets and never look back. Great all arounder and super accurate even in a brand new newly fired Benji Trail! I also shoot JSB Heavy Exact Diablo's! Super nice pellet that from epllet to pellet hardly any deviation!

The H&N I mentioned are what was tested to be best for this gun. But to each their own of course. Mr. Green

just got my titan a month ago. passed approx. 500 rounds. this is my first air-gun of this class and groups about 3in. at 25yds. beautiful gun but no good groups. took my sons $26 pump bb gun and group 5/8" at the same distance. beautiful gun but new to this so still trying to find out why i cant get it to group

Everyone get on Google and look up "artillery hold"- see if anything changes.

T-BONE · New Member

ok, used the artillery hold and groups are now little over an inch at 25yds. a lot better thanks! still need a little bit tighter for longer shots. guess time to try more types of pellets.

Hi, new to the forum, I have the Titan GP and have found it to be very accurate out of the box even with the crummy triger. I have been shooting Crossman Premier HP at 20 yards off of a very soft down coat and after only 50 shots am grouping 3/4' to 1". I have a Chrliedatuna trigger coming and will be up grading the scope. I find the gun very comfortable and quieter than my RWS 48 .177. Much more pleasant to shoot with the gas piston than the RWS springer. Any thoughts about a Leepers 3x9x40 AO/ILL mildot on this gun? Anyone out there use one. Thanks.

Philly,

I have the Nitro Venom and mounted a CenterPoint 4-16x40 scope on there. It's a nice scope for the gun, hitting a ragged hole from 25 yards with it so far.

i have 1 of those $149. benji titans from wally world it like all crosman chinese guns got a grt III its getting quieter as i shoot it i belive i have ran mabe 500-6-- rounds through it quieter than any of my 34's and quest it hits hard for what it cost but over my crony it ran 50-90 ft per second behind my diana 34 and the diana might have had 200-300 shots as i just got it so when diana gets broke in more i wonder if they will be further apart? but i was definatly surprized when i first shot it . the barrel had lots of junk in it took several patches soaked in gunzillia to get her clean and for the first 100 shots it was harder than he %% to cock now mabe 20-25 pounds force to cock . not bad for something diffrent . i got mine just to satisfy the nitro craze

That sure was a tough read with only 2 periods...

But good review of the Titan.

There is no reason at all that you can't do the work yourself if you have basic tools and a little mechanical knowledge it should be no more difficult than replacing a spring.

Let us know what models are you thinking about converting. We should be able to help you find the parts

I have two Leapers a 3x9x32 with AO and a4x16x40 lu ao love them both and had both on my springer. Get GOOD two peace mounts one to two raps of elec tape and you will be good to go.

one of the biggest problem is the trigger...NOT very good for the biggest part and even with a replacement, still not real good.

nevertheless...

they're very powerful and reliable and to some degree, accurate.
