Product: Benjamin Trail NP XL Air Rifle
Review entered on 2012-08-04 10:45:16Things I liked:Powerful. Handsome stock.
Things I would have changed:Very loud, even after being fully broken in with 500 pellets. Rifle is very, very hard to shoot accurately. You need an artillery hold with a very consistent grip, or your groups will be wildly off (even from a bench).
What others should know:Watch the accompanying PA video. If you want something that's going to be fun and easy to shoot, this isn't it. If you just want the most bang out there, this is the gun for you.

Things I would have changed:I have found this to be a difficult gun to shoot accurately. After much trial and error, I've found that an artillary hold is crucial, as the gun will shoot all over the place if you actually put the butt of the rifle firmly onto your shoulder. As others have stated, the trigger gives you no indication of when its about to break. You just try to pull back progressively and smoothly until the bang surprises you. It's also quite loud - not sure I'll be able to use it in my backyard.
What others should know:If you want a backyard pest control rifle that's easy to shoot out of the box, this isn't it. If you are patient and don't mind the weight, trigger, noise, and challenge to shoot accurately, then you will have a powerful airgun. I would personally have traded 100 fps for a better overall package.
