The gas piston has taken the airgunning world by storm because it's a proven technology that gives shooters much more leeway. If you like smoother-shooting guns and guns that don't experience spring fatigue because you left the gun cocked while waiting for the next critter to cross your path, then a gas piston should be your powerplant of choice. Powerful! Reliable! Accurate! Sounds like the perfect airgun!

Be sure to keep the barrell cleaned and dont spray oil in it before you insert a pellet. If you do, it will "diesel" between 1250-1550fps and the crack is loud and will damage the seals and piston. This one is powerful enough no need to diesel for extra zip. It has a little kick to it.

Pros
In .22cal. it Looks as good as it shoots. Shoots crosman premier domed 14.3 g. Lead pellets thru 3/4" thick hardened cedar board @ 50ft.

Cons
The scope is not so good from what I've heard so get a $35.00 winchester 813 AO scope. My box didnt have a scope just the rings so if you get one from a box store..better check the box.

Ive had it for a couple of years and its very accurate ( with different scope) but after about 1500 rounds the screws on the front part of the stock broke off and I had to use a drill to get the broken screws out but I found some screws to match and it works perfect

Bought this for a friend of mine about 1 year ago. The rifle is well made and not too heavy. It is very accurate and the scope is usable. Cocking effort is somewhat on the high side but not a problem. It cocks and fires smoothly. The noise level is except-able. The only negative is the trigger...it has a huge length of travel before discharging the rifle. Does not appear adjustable.

Pros
Most everything

Cons
Trigger length of travel is quite large

Gun shoots accurate after adjusting the 4X32 acope that came with it. Had to make sure the gun was in a braced position so that it would not move when the trigger was pulled (similar to the pic in the directions). Adjusted the scope settings until it was shooting accurate. Also shortened the trigger pull using the directions. The gun is heavy and needs to be braced against something to be able to shoot accurate. I am sure there are much better scopes but I found the one that came with it works fine if you are patient and make the adjustments in the directions.

Pros
Shoots accurate if directions are followed.

Cons
Heavy and needs to be braced against something to shoot accurate.

It’s very accurate but I can’t get the scope center at all. It shoots way off right. But you aim left a little it’s spot on. So if you get a good scope you can get just about anything small game with it. My first shot I shot a crow from about 40 yards away kill shot. I recommend this to anyone has a first time gun. You can also buy them at Walmart for 95!

Pros
Shoots far, very accurate, powerful

Cons
Scope is ass

I notice several reviewers note the rifles inconsistency. I also had a problem when I first got mine, then I noticed the barrel would move when I placed it on the sand bag. My advice is, make sure the barrel is fully closed before you shoot it. Now that I know what the problem was, the gun shoots wonderfully.

Pros
Excellent accuracy

Cons
You have to make sure the barrel is fully closed.

asked Jerry

I just bought this rifle and attempted to cock it. It wont cock I have tried very hard to cock it but I am afraid that I will bend the barrel. Does the barrel come locked when first taken out of the box. Please advise because the directions doesn't state that the barrel is locked but I cant get to cock what should I do Please advise.

asked Humphrey Phelps

Poor accuracy? Change the scope to someting decent. If that fails, try different pellets.

asked Ralph

asked Ralph

Is this gun made in america? I have a grandpa who wants one to get rid of squirrels, raccoons and, skunks from under his trailer but, he refuses to buy one made in another country. I done looked all over walmarts and, other places.

asked Joshua C. A. Mitchell

How far cam you kill with it. Or what range do I need to set it to to be a leathal squirrel killer from 10 to 59 yards

asked Easton

i have owned a benjamin break barrel before and the barrel bent after 300 rounds due to cocking effort, would that be an issue with this one? also how loud is it?

asked matthew

The 950fps velocity, is that with lead pellets or with PBA?

asked BMB

asked lee

does it include scope

asked lee

How good are the refurbished guns, I've always bought new.

asked Russell

Is it quiet enough to use in a neighborhood?

asked Martin

does anyone know how the company receives old guns for refurbishing? is it just the returns, or do they trade your old guns in for a discount on a new gun? If they don't do that they should and imagine how much land fill space could be saved on air gun recycling. Just a crazy thought.

asked Raleigh

Does the rifle have iron sights under the scope?

asked Rachel

What is the best pellet for hunting doves/squirrels with for the Benjamin prowler?

asked Robert

asked Richmond

Can iron sights be added without drilling and tapping the barrel?

asked Ron from USA

How do you cock the rifle to fire?

asked John

Is the scope innaccurate?

asked Drake

I dry fired this gun twice I'm new to the break barrel thing but will my gun lose any power velocity or anything?

asked Clifton

Clifton, Possibly not with just two instances, but likely so if it is continued. In order for the compression piston not to slam forward against the end of the compression tube, it needs the resistance of the compressed air against forcing a pellet of sufficient weight down the barrel. The shock of the impact when this is not done may cause problems with the tolerances for proper mating of the barrel block and locking parts. The barrel then becomes difficult to break open initially, and may also be more difficult to close. Also, do not fire the gun with just cleaning pellets as they do not offer sufficient resistance. Although the manufacturer does not discourage using alloy pellets, I personally suspect that both the light weight and hardness of the finish causes undo stress from firing and wear on the rifling of the barrel. I operate a Crosman Authorized Service Center in Notasulga, Alabama.

JAMES from USA

Dry firing an air rifle can damage the piston and seal. Twice may not have hurt it, but it is best not to repeat it. Piston powered air rifles may actually gain some velocity as they break in. Please note: advertised velocities are best case scenarios, with light weight pellets. Pellets less than 7 gr can be as detrimental as dry firing. This rifle will likely give better accuracy with pellets that are between 8 and 10.5 gr., and with the heavier pellets, the velocity will not be near the advertised 1250 fps.

BmaS

Is this the latest model with the straight stock forearm or the older model with the curved stock forearm? The item is BPNP17X manufactured after May 2014. I want only the newer model.

asked Larry Gregoire

The models that we carry look exactly as pictured. We do also carry the older style but only in a refurbished model. Thanks your question.
