Better than expected
By Bigheadted from Norhtern California on March 8, 2012
The last pellet rifle I bought was in 1989, it is a Daisy break barrel 177, it still works and still has the cheesy scope it came with. It has been fired literally thousands of times. So you can see I have no current experience with modern air rifles.I wanted something with more accuracy and power and a good price. I chose the Nitro Venom in 22 caliber. I was very happy with the rifle when I received it and was mounting the scope, to me it was more than I expected. The stock finish is not what you wouls call good looking but I intend to camo it so the point is moot there. I thoroughly cleaned the barrel and took it out to shoot, I would shoot a couple shots and clean the barrel shoot a few rounds and clea . I did this for the first 50 or so rounds, a habit from my rifle shooting days. During tis time I rough sighted the gun and just had fun offhand shooting at random objects on my property and was quite happy with the hits I was making and impressed with the power of this gun. At first it was louder than expected but has really quieted down now. I set up targets and started shooting a variety of different pellets and found the Crosman to shoot the most consistent, the Gamo seemed to have random fliers with most 5 shot groups. Accuracy has been pretty dang good with most 5 shot groups having all pellet hole touching and pretty much making one ragged odd shaped hole covered by a penny. Killing power was shocking with gun no matter what pellet though to date all I have shot is birds. I cannot wait to zot some squirrels and rabbits with this. I have made some amazing shots out to 30-35 yards with this gun. YOU MUST use the artillery type hold to acheive the best accuracy with this gun. I really like tis rifle and would highly reccomend it.After shooting it and adjusting the trigger I have found it to be very acceptable.Pros:
EverythingCons:
That I did not buy one sooner.I would recommend this item to a friend.

Answer:
Hi, Shawn;The Crosman Nitro Venom series and Benjamin Trail series air rifles share the same internal parts.
Same powerplant (Nitro Piston), same trigger and sear assemblies.
The differences lie in the choice of stock, the configuration of the barrels (such as, whether or not they have muzzle brakes, shrouds, or barrel weights ("jackets"), and the type of scope rails offered (3/8" versus Weaver).
The Crosman guns are marketed toward more budget conscious consumers, so generally will have less detail or fewer additional options, whereas the Benjamin branded airguns will have more "bling".
Underneath, however, they work just as well. :)

Answer:
This gun is very accurate at 20, 30 yards. I have shot it at 60 yards using the 2nd mil dot on the scope and can get a three pellet grouping of about 1.5 inches. I am very pleased with the gun.By Ryan from clark, nj on November 16, 2011

Answer:
its not any quieter than any other nitro gun but there is no twang like a regular spring gun and the noise has quicker shot cycle than a spring gun, hence it seems alot quieter and the noise is directed away from where you are shooting so you hear most of the shot cycle not the prey. it sounds very quiet at 15yds down range and 10yds to the side of the firing line.By Joel from Fishers, IN on January 19, 2012
Answer:
Steve is exactly right, and makes a good point:most of the noise that you, the shooter, hear from a spring piston gun is sound transmitted through the stock from the firing cycle. That is, the twang and buzz from an expanding and rotating metal mainspring, and the whack of the piston slamming into the face of the compression tube. The Nitro Piston airguns have no metal mainspring - so no twang and buzz and chatter - and the firing cycle is much more rapid than with metal. The shorter impulse, couple with the reduced noise, make them very pleasant to shoot.
Bear in mind, however, that most of the noise your neighbors hear when you shoot airguns comes from the excess gas escaping behind the pellet, and from the pellet hitting the target. This noise is relatively identical, whether you are shooting an airgun with a metal spring or a Nitro piston. Additionally, remember that your pellet will make a surprisingly loud "crack!' if it goes trans-sonic (meaning, if it has a muzzle velocity of about 1100 fps or more at sea level)...

Answer:
It is pretty quiet since it is a nitro piston, but still somewhat loud.By Carter from Washington on February 14, 2012

Looks good but how is it ?
Thanks

Answer:
Great looking rifle and the quality is very good. This thing has power, I'm shooting holes though half inch plywood @ 30 yards. I still haven't shot 100 rounds and the power and accuracy keeps getting better with every shot. If your just getting started and on a budget like me you can't beat the price for so much fun. The only thing I regret is not getting a case for it to protect the beautiful finish.By steve from richwood, OH on December 3, 2011
Answer:
the shot cycle is short and rather quiet, the penetration with all pellets is remarkable, the trigger is not great but, it is an air rifle not an anti-sniper rifle. I have been able to shoot some 2in groups at 50yds with the benjamin hollow points. At 60yds it still blows through 1/2in plywood with ease. It shoulders well (a bit on the heavier side but a very solid gun. The 3-9x32 mil-dot centerpoint scope holds zero and is fairly repeatable. I decide on the venom model due to the scope rail being solid mount and many people complaining about the dove tail mount that many guns are equipt with. The Benjamin trail np is the same platform but higher priced, and have never been too fond of carrying a thumb through stock around. Now I need to figure out a good way to sling it..... I would definately buy again, tree rats at 40yds and under look like they have been hit with a 22LR hollow point. They do make an impressive hole....heheheheheBy Daniel from Virginia Beach, VA on December 4, 2011
Answer:
Very accurate. Every time I go to shoot it's just great. Doesn't make much noise at all. It was a good purchase for meBy Carter from Washington on February 14, 2012
Answer:
Accuracy could be better, but an overall good nitro piston gun for $170
