Very accurate once you fix an issue
By Rodger from Maryland on April 7, 2012
I bought this great rifle expecting it to be as accurate as all the reviews suggested it would be. Many reviews said you had to shoot a couple of hundred shots for it to settle in, but that was not happening in my case. At 30 yards with the rifle fixed, the trajectory would vary randomly +/- 3 inches. It was frustrating, as I suspected the "cheapie" scope, or the barrel not returning to the exact same spot after cocking it. Finally I figured out what was happening. The outer barrel exit hole is part of some kind of silencer system and the hole they have is not a hole but a hexagon. It turns out the hexagon was not concentric with the actual inner barrel, so when the pellet would exit its flight would carry it closer to one side of the hexagon. This asymmetry would cause a difference of pressure on one side of the pellet at the exit hole and bend the flight path. So, I took a tapered T-handled reamer and opened the hexagon into a hole, then followed by drilling out the silencer end with a 9/32" drill. Do this carefully, use rubbing alcohol as a drilling lubricant, and be careful not to drill more than ~ 0.5" depth. Clean out all aluminum chips with the rubbing alcohol. Follow by crowning the exit hole with a 45 degree countersink to chamfer the edge ~ 0.020". Shoot the gun empty once to clear the barrel of any debris and alcohol. After that the accuracy was phenomenal! At 30 yards the grouping was consistent and very tight. The noise level did not change a bit, so I would say Benjamin Trail should change their drawings to reflect this change. The Chinese manufacturer apparently cannot keep the machine tolerances necessary to make this work right out of the box, and Benjamin Trail should have known this.Pros:
Good overall design, and accurate after modifications.Cocking is easy and the rifle has a very solid feel plus tremendous power.
Cons:
The scope has very little eye relief, but still works pretty good once it was eliminated as a culprit. The long pull of the trigger takes a lot a getting used to (which I have). I might make the trigger mod everyone else seems to be doing.I would recommend this item to a friend.

Wish to thank Air Gun Depot on a good price ,not great for a fun weapon.Many thanks to those of you that have tried the Benjamin and YOUR opinons,most are Right on concerning the trigger.
If you own this weapon you really should read reviews and consider the up-grade of trigger first thing!
The GRT111 by Charlie the Tuna ,makes this weapon so much fun ,with increased accuracy due to unbelieve trigger pull..WOW
I have owned this weapon over a year ,used old phone books as back stops to try most all mfg. pellets..not sure as yet where I stand ,except the gold plated by Gammo is expensive and most pellets did not fit ....Ugh.
To achieve a group of 5 in nickel size hole ,braced with sand bag @ 90ft using RWS pellets,I first had to change trigger,use semi -blu locktite on all screws,
clean weapon and tighten all scope screws,(scope is next to go) as it changes off and on and must be re-sighted..bah not a good scope for serious shooters.
This weapon is my favorite ,fun and accurate air gun to shoot have enjoyed many fun hours,Thank you again to those of you that have stated your problems and possible soultions most have hit the target....Sincerely Thank You.
Pros:
Smooth cockingsemi Quiet
love sling nice job by Benj
pwr great
Accuracy with modifications...SUPER
Cons:
Very poor trigger design,extra long pullTrigger pulls you off target
Scope is cheapie for nice weapon
Workmanship (china?) could be better
I would recommend this item to a friend.
The Gun is good but there is Problems
By Tom Maranda from Tupelo Ms on January 7, 2012
I got my Benjamin Trail Np not long ago.. I have shot it 800 times maybe tryed 3 differnet kinds of ammo... Crosman Premier, Gamo Rocket, Beeman Copper Plated-- The guns shoots great but the trigger sucks I replaced it with the GRT 3 (charile da tuna)... made it shoot great for about 100 shoots it started shooting in coesint went from 1 in groups to 5 inch groups... after 50 shoots i though about it and... Changed the scope for a second to see if it was it... and yes it was I put my NightForce optics scope on the gun 3.5-14-50mm I started shooting 1/2 groups and better... I moved to 40 and 50 yards for the first time and the pellet dropped a ton... 12 inchs at 50 yards I Gave it 16 clicks up and dead on i shoot 10 shots and cleaned it and 10 more shots-- 2 in groups but i think it was less... The Center Point scope sucks the trigger sucks the GUN is great...Pros:
GunCons:
Trigger,Scope, Price or could just get a contract and get a better scope and trigger for a little moreI would recommend this item to a friend.

By dalton on August 28, 2011
good gun, but barel keeps falling open when i get ready to shoot, i tightend up the srew but it keeps looseing up, by the way, does anybody have any recomendations for that problem, i dont want to tighten up the srew to much and bend something. other than that, awsome gun, very powerfull, did alot o reseach and this gun came out on top. its worth it to spend a little bit more and get the nitro piston. and i love the scope, but the gun is alittle heavy, overall great gun.Benjamin Trail NP
By Crue on August 7, 2011
This gun is 110% quieter than my Gamo 1000 and it shoots 110% better as well. Buy a Benjamin NP and you'll never buy another Gamo piece of crap again. The trigger is very manageable after you adjust it. The gun is a little heavy but worth the weight due to its performance. Too bad they don't make one this nice from the USA rather than China.Benjamin guns rules
By Seth on August 4, 2011
This gun is good I love this Gun It is a great gun. Hard to cock at first, best scope ever. accurate gun. It is pest poison. but the barrel scratches easy. Otherwise it's great.Epic
By Chris on July 22, 2011
This is my first pellet gun ever. If you want to spend time with your kids, this is it, when my kid hit's a can from 50 ft away and see his face light up. Thanks Benjamin for a great product.....best gun ever!!!
By Toby on July 6, 2011
great gun I got 50 squirrels in two hours with this gun. It is great, the trigger, the scope, the size, the stock, everything is just great. I think that if anyone has a big pest problem they should git this gun. It's well worth the money, buy it. It is the missing thing in every one's life. Best gun ever.This rifle is awesome!!!
By Don Oliver on May 13, 2011
I just purchased this air rifle today after reading hundreds of reviews on the web. Everyone seems to complain about the trigger but I thing it is perfect. I wouldn't change a thing. This rifle is powerful and deadly, well worth the money.Benjamin Trail NP All Weather .22
By Ghillie in the Mist on April 11, 2011
This gun is deadly accurate. It has the power to make even wadcutter pellets puncture squirrel skin and kill. I wouldn't change a thing, and the trigger problems people have been having isn't bad at all. I actually like the long trigger pull so before I go for the kill, I have a moment to thank the squirrel for its life.Benjamin Trail NP
By scott on March 7, 2011
I would say that after you replace the trigger on this gun(I did) you have one of the sweetest shooting .22 cal. around. Extremely accurate for a .22 cal., I have got 3/8" groups with this gun at 25yds, and 1/2" goups at 40yds!!! Ive killed many squirrels, rabbits, and crows with this gun, its incredible how deadly this gun is. I love target shooting with this gun, its just a blast to shoot.Everything I've expected of an air rifle
By Steve on November 13, 2010
Upgraded my Big Cat 1200 to this one, what a great decision. Once sighted in, it is dead on. It is quiet, smooth and powerful. I never had a .22 before, but once used it on small games, will never go back to .177. Some reviewers are concerned with it being made in China. However, with good specs and tight quality control, I have not had any concerns. The only drawback is the bluing on the barrel is rather thin and scratches off easily.Great Rifle
By Scott on July 29, 2010
Great accuracy and power straight out of the box! This is an excellent rifle for plinking, target shooting and all around varmint hunting. What a great buy!!benjamine trail
By peter g ciliberto on June 10, 2010
Great gun, powerful and extremely accurate. Just add a G111 trigger for $33 and you have an excellent preformer. Strictly quality. Quiet and smooth to operate.awsome air rifle
By Anthony CA on April 29, 2010
This gun is great right out of the box, I was impressed. It was so worth the money. Great power, quiet, and sleak. And the famously long trigger pull everyone seems to write about; not me. The trigger feels great not bad at all. It is a killer!Benjamin Trail 22 cal
