Things I liked:My name is Steve Sanderson, my email address is ssanderson@sio.midco.net, and my phone number is 605-214-4494.I spent 4 years 4 months and 3 days in Viet Nam as a combat Marine, and 14 months as a sniper. After going through 7 different pellet rifles, and sending them all back I asked PA for a recommendation for a got .177 break barrel pellet rifle, and was told to try the NPSS Remington .177 caliner. I purchase it in March, and right out of the box I new I had something special in my hands. I went into my basement to start the break in perios at 37'. I taped a paper target onto 3 one half inch pieces of sheetrock, and the pellets were going through the sheetrock and bouncing off the wall. I have since put thousands of rounds through this rifle, and am please to say using the H&N 8.64 grain domed pellets, that I have shot as far as 250', putting 7 our of 10 in a 2 1/2' bulls eye. At both 200' and 225' I put 10 out of 10 in the same bulls eye. My target is made out of a 1/4' piece of cardboard glued to a piece of 3/16" piece of tempered fiber board, and at 200' I was shooting one day and was hearing this plinking sound, and it turned out that the pellets were going through the target and hitting a not dumping sign 33' past the target. I have since named it my cannon, and have 4 other reviews on the website, of which I have sold over 30 of these for PA. You are welcome to contact me with any questions you may have.By Steve from USA on 2012-02-04 09:00:00

Things I would have changed:Just the trigger, as it seems all of the break barrel nitro piston rifles all have the same problem, a hard pull trigger which usually makes you shot up and to the right, contact charliedatuna.com, and purchase the GRB trigger, which goes from a hard pull trigger to almost a hair trigger, but once you get used to it, it makes a world of difference. I have a shooting drill I learned in sniper school and would be happy to pass it on to you, if you are willing to give it a try, and now that PA has what they call there 10 4 $10, which means a Tech. person will take it out of the box and shoot it 10 times to make sure there is nothing wrong with it, box is back up and send it to you.
What others should know:Being sniper for 14 months, I learned that by keeping a notebook with your scope settings in it, after you have broken the weapon in, which I have found that if you want to shoot longer distances you need to put almost an entire tin of pellets through it. One of the guys that bought this because of the 4 other reviews I have on PA's website, ran it through a chronograph, using a 14.3 grain pellet, and the numbers were 1024 FPS, he also lives in Puerto, Rico, and using 10.50 grain crosman domed pellets, he is knocking down those though skinned Iguana's at 150' with one shot. Again please feel free to contact me if you have any questions on this rifle. I also have review on the H&N 8.64 grain domed pellets, the crosman 10.50 grain domed pellets, the Dewey .177 bore mop and the plano single scope or double non-scoped rifle case. I truly believe that you are missing out on the best .177 break barrel pellet rifle on the marketCommentsBy Steve from USA on 2012-02-05 08:16:19 0 
I also have pictures of a shooting tri-pod I built using a camera tri-pod, and a portable bench rest, that you can knock down by removing 6 scewws and and carry it anywhereBy Steve from USA on 2012-02-05 06:41:13 0 In my opinion this is by far the best ,177 caliber pellet rifle on the market, and is made in th USABy Steve from USA on 2012-02-04 17:08:49 0 Few spelling erros, got should be good, and perios should be period.
Things I liked:made in USA , accurate , powerful , consistant performance good scope mount design,however the scope mount was not included in the box and had to be sent from the factory a week later after several EMs and phone calls.By mark from USA on 2012-01-18 09:08:33

Things I would have changed:country of origin clearly labeled on carton and literature.
Things I liked:Lightweight and ergonomic compared to other air rifles I own. Quiet and easy to cock. Packs a real punch. The Beeman .22 Silver Bear 12.65 grain hollow points are very accurate with this rifle and make short work of the numerous urban pigeons that plague us here. The gun is so quiet that the pigeons will often regroup soon after a shot whereas my springer will scare them off for a good long while.By WRoberts from USA on 2011-12-05 19:08:32

Things I would have changed:I didn't like the scope; had a hard time sighting it in. Replaced it with a SigSauer red dot sight (using a dovetail to weaver adapter) and is now perfect for close-in anti-pigeon work in my backyard. Neighbors are none the wiser.
What others should know:Trigger is very good right out of the box. Using 12-14 grain pellets at 10-25 yards quickly and humanely dispatches any urban pigeons foolish enough to roost on my property. Because of its size, weight and ergonomics it's very easy to poke my head out of my garage, acquire my target and engage, all in a few seconds.
Things I liked:over all great gun, hard to put down once you start shooting. love it !By cno from USA on 2011-11-22 12:56:12

Things I would have changed:the scope it came with is defected, will group in one spot then will move over 6 to 8 inches. re-set to that grouping and will move again to another area. Change the scope to a Leupold 3.5X10 and now it's a nail driver. leave off the Center Point Scope.....
What others should know:It's not a toy. addicting
Things I liked:I do not know, I have used just for one day, then it get stucked. I am very disapointed.By Fernando from USA on 2011-11-06 17:50:27

Things I would have changed:Everything, since after some shots it is useless.
What others should know:After a couple hundred shots the assembly lever bended (without apparently no reason), and the gun cannot be cocked. Now I am waiting for Crosman to see if they can solve my problem... very disapointed. Maybe I am just an unfortunate...
Things I liked:Accuracy. Power. Quiet. Opted for the .22cal and mounted a Leapers 4-12x44AO 30mm scope. Still light enough to shoot off-hand with a scope mounted. By far my favorite air rifle among 2 M-rods, an AR6, and a Socom Extreme. 30 yard groups are mostly one ragged holes with RWS Superdome pellets (shooting from a low kneeling position with a Shooter's Ridge bag propped up on top of a box).By Tony from USA on 2011-10-30 17:27:05

Things I would have changed:Adjustable cheek piece is OK but only goes up higher one position. Stock seems a little short so I have to be mindful of length of pull. I wish it had the integrated sling mounts like its counterpart, the Benjamin Trail NPXL.
What others should know:Noticed there was a significant amount of play in the barrel after about 600 shots. Found the barrel pivot bolt came loose. There's a threadlocked setscrew that's supposed to keep the bolt head from moving but I guess that came loose as well.CommentsBy Steve from USA on 2012-01-22 09:37:08 0 PY has a generic sling made by Gamo in the accessorie area, they are about $13 and I have two of them, and they work just fine. Steve from USA
Things I liked:Awesome rifle, very easy to cock, lighter, and shorter than my Benjamin BT-1500WNP. Extremely accurate right out the box.By Kenneth from USA on 2011-10-30 07:05:38

Things I would have changed:Provide a thicker scope rail mount. Mounting the scope was a challenge, the rail is very narrow. Scope and rail had to be perfectly aligned in order to tightened or scope would slide off. A Shoulder Strap option would be appreciated; give the customer the option on if they want to use it.
What others should know:It is an absolute pleasure to shoot; I go back and forth between my Remington .22 and Benjamin .177. Just go back into air rifles since I was a kid and these are the absolute best and so much fun. Have not had a chance to take down small varmits but on the lookout.CommentsBy Steve from USA on 2012-01-22 09:34:01 0 You can get a generic shoulder strap, made by Gamo, which is the only thing I would by from Gamo. Its around $13 dollars, I have two of them, one for each of my pellet rifles, they are in the accessories area, and work really nice. Steve from USA
Things I liked:Everything. I have had the honor of owning the NPSS Remington not for about 2 months. And would pay $400.00 for it. I had tried several, including the Crosman Nitro Venom Dusk, which basically fell apart within a week, sent it back and asked Wendy to recommend a weapon that I could count on, so she recommended the NPSS (AMERICAN MADE) Remington.By Steve from USA on 2011-10-15 13:00:06

Things I would have changed:I would recommend that you get a GRB trigger from charliedaytuna.com, as the factory trigger pulls so hard, that my tri-pod would jump when I shot it.
What others should know:My last review ended with putting 9 out of 10 in a 2 1/2" bullseye, the 10th was on the black circle. I was a sniper in Viet Nam for 13 months, so I have keep notes on scope adjustments from 100' to 225', in 25 foot increments. Once it is sited in at 100', you don't have make any adjustments until 150'. I am pleased to say that yesterday I moved to 250', and put 7 out of 10 in the 2 1/2" bullseye. I am here to tell you this weapon has power to burn. After trying several different pellets, I have settled in on H&N 8.64 grain domed pellets. The wind does not affect these pellets until you get to around a 20 mph wind. Like I said I have keep all of my notes and adjustments for each yardage, and if I can help anyone, my email is ssanderson@sio.midco.net, happy shooting, and if you are debating wether to buy this weapon or not, please give it a try. It is well worth the money.
Things I liked:Quiet, accurate, hard hitting, light weight, nice looking.By Nenad from USA on 2011-10-01 00:45:45

Things I would have changed: A scope is really bad, cannot stay zeroed and not so accurate. Trigger is also bad for more accurate shooting. Everything else is OK with this riffle.
What others should know:This is my fourth NP air rifle in .22 cal, and the best one what I have ever owned. After approximately 300-350 rounds the riffle has become to be more accurate, after 750-800 rounds very accurate. At 35 yards could keep around quarter sized group, or so. Then replaced the scope and trigger, and after 1400 rounds got a lot of penny sized groups with a few occasional flyers. For me, very, very good accuracy. Used JSB pellets 13.43 grains. For a Leapers scope paid around $70.00 and for the CBR trigger $30.00 In total of $400.00 I got what I wonted.- 123 ... 89

Things I would have changed:Just the Trigger.
What others should know:I am working with my friend Paul in Puerto, Rico, and he is going to do some work with his chronograph, using both crosman 10.50 grain domed pellets, and the H&N 8.64 grain domed pellets and see what the FPS comes out at. The other thing I have learned about this weapon, is that using the 10.50 grain domed pellets it is very accurate just past 150'. Using the 8.64 grain domes pellets I have found that it is very accurate up to 225'. It is a good pellet rife, and I like the fact that it is assembled in the USA.
