Benjamin Trail NP Nitro Piston Realtree Stock

The first looks of this rifle out of the box is superb with a very nice point to aim feel. The camo design/look is 1st class, and the checkered pistol grip and forearm has a nice width and firm feel to it. The RealTree stock and bull barrel make the rifle a visual masterpiece . . which is why it's a real shame that the rest of the story (performance-wise) is a total let-down. continued -

Too bad this rifle shoots as lousey as it does. From the first shot you're wondering why Benjamin let their lawyers design the trigger. Length adjustment screw is also worthless. But even if you can live with the endless trigger pull, the real story is after 250+ rds break-in, we couldn't even get half dollar size groups at just 20 yds from the bench using brand new Benjamin 14.3 Discovery lead pellets. (tried 4 other pellets that performed equally bad) continued -

Very frustrating to get two shots inside a dime and then throw the 3rd one way high or way low - but that was how it went all week. My partner and I, who have both been shooting air rifles for 40 years think it could be the scope. We kept messing around with it to no avail. Checked all screws, etc. Also noted that shot chrony showed a disappointing 750 average w/ the Benjamin pellets. Sorry I can't report any better on this one. A new trigger, better scope and a correctly matched pellet for the barrel could possibly turn this looker into a keeper.

Nice looking gun. The Realtree is a piece of art. Very distinctive. Very quiet gun too. I am amazed at how quiet it is. The other squirrels don't seem to notice that their buddy just got real relaxed, so close by. Good gun for suburban sporting fun. Shipping from Pyramyd is stellar. The gun arrived in 2 days with free shipping. The weaver mount provided quick, secure mounting for the scope. Better than just some groves cut into the receiver.

This is one heavy gun. Sure its nice for a solid shooting platform, but it may be heavy to carry around in the woods for a few hours. A lot of reviews complain about the trigger. I need to put a lot more rounds through it before I have a valuable opinion about it. Seems okay for hunting and fun, though.

Pyramyd beats Wally World pricing hands down. With free shipping and no sales tax, they are the place to buy your hardware. I got this gun because I was looking for the best deal on a quiet single shot .22 break barrel. The Nitro Piston and weaver rail are better than springers and no weaver. The Realtree looks great. For the price, its a good deal. Thanks Pyramyd.

The handle on this rifle is really nice, my hand warps around it very nicely. I also like the weight of the rifle, gives it a sturdy feel.

I would change, the trigger. I didn't think it would bother me but you really do start to feel the pull on the trigger, it's really long! The scope has moved on me once because of the recoil of the rifle. I would also include a sling with this rifle. Put more FPS because sometimes I shoot quail and they still manage to fly off! Hopefully it's the pellet that I'm using.

The rifle does not come with the Benjamin sling anymore. When I first got the rifle, i was having to push really hard down on my crosman premiere domed pellets when inserting them into the barrel because it seemed like the hole was to small. It's gotten a little better but every once in a while I have to really apply pressure when inserting the pellet.

I own the Remington NPSS in a 22 cal. The stock configuration is very nice. The rifle isn't to heavy for carrying in the woods, accuracy is good, and the overall look of the rifle is excellent. This rifle is quality made.

The trigger. Take some time getting to know this rifle and it will serve you well.

Trigger pull is too heavy and isn't smooth. So far. the Center Point scope has sufficed but could be better. I've ordered the Hawke 4 x 12 x 40 to go on the new Nitro with the Realtree stock. I have this scope on my RWS 350 P and consider it very good. I've also will order the Charliedtuna ($35.00) trigger when I receive the new rifle and determine which factory trigger is installed.
The Pyramyd Air service is the best bar none. You can't go wrong with them.

Great starter gun. Easy, Accurate, Cheap to shoot, More than enough power for what it is intended for. Great target/small game gun.

Was not impressed with the scope that came with my Benjamin. Offer it with a no scope option for less money.

Find the right pellets, I have had pellets not fit my barrel.

I always wanted a .22 gun so I got this based off of reviews. Good power for hunting. Easy cocking, not hard at all. I also like the camo on the gun.

The only flaw I have with this gun is that the mount for the scope ( weaver rail) is not in the center. Its off to the right by 2mm and you can easily see it by looking straight down the gun. I don't know if any one else has this problem but it sucks for a $300 air gun.

I would buy another but just don't have enough money to throw away again. This was my first time buying from pyramid air and probably my last. There shipping was great and quick but never knew they would let that pass their quality control.

Accuracy is great.50 yrds consistantly.i have hit serveral birds at an unheard of 90 yards and rolled them.

The scope did the cheap creep on me.Looks like you either get a good one or a bad one.Optics are good really liked the scope but would not hold zero.The trigger goes on forever but after 900 rounds it is smooth.At first it was dragging real bad,but finally got worn in.I will probably get another one but any trigger can be gotten use too.The scope is a different story either it zeros or not.If not it has to be changed.

I had a nikon omega bdc scope for a .50 cal. that was not in use so i thought i would give it a try til i made my mind up what i was going to get to solve my problem..It has a long eye relief so it sets real far forward on the mount.But is made for a strong kick from the fifty.This scope performs very well,the double kick from the gas piston has not hurt it so far.I have shot 900 rounds with it mounted and have made extremely long shots for an airgun.Only time will tell but this combination is working for me with great results.

this air gun has great looks feel very solid, should last for a long time. finish is very good, realtree looks very good. It's very easy to break open barrel. sighting in didn't take too long and it is very acurate.

the only draw back to this rifle i see right away is the weight. this thing is heavy! Heavier than my mossberg 500 shotgun.

I like the camo stock and the feel of the gun.It don't feel like the pellet guns I'am used to shooting. very accurate after I shimed the scope.It is not very loud have only shot about 400 hundred rounds Its get better the more I shoot It.Very nice gun for the price the scope it came with is ok but would like to replace it with a leapers scope.

Going to order a new trigger I could get by with this one but I think the accuracy will be a lot better with a grt-III.It seems a little heavy.

Customer service is awesome.

I bought the 22 cal the first gun I got the barrel would not lock in postion gun was hard to hold a 3 inch group at 30 yrds.Sent it back they shipped me another gun right away.Very pleased with customer service.The next gun I recieved was just great right out of box.Very acurate it seems to like heaver ammo still working on that.Very pleased with the gun like the camo stock.It hits real hard and not to loud nice gun.

Needs a new trigger.

very nice gun for the price.plus you get a real nice sling.
