Page 12 - Benjamin Titan GP Reviews

Fit and finish is nice for the price. I returned the first Titan I bought, within 30 days, because it grouped poorly after about 850 pellets, and they quickly sent me a replacement. They had their air gun tech staff look at it before they sent it to me. All the people I dealt with at PyramydAir were courteous, helpful, and professional. I couldn't be happier with the service I've received and will purchase all my air gun needs from them in the future. Prices are excellent and their service is the best!

The trigger works okay if you take the time to learn it, but it could be better. The scope is adequate, but could be eliminated to lower the cost of the rifle even further.

I've shot about 250 pellets through the Titan at this point. Depending on the pellet used, my best groups at 25 yds, from a rifle rest, are about 5/8" and the worst groups are about 1 1/4". I get the best results with Kodiak Extra Heavy Match, 10.2 gr. and Crosman Premier Ultra Magnum Heavy 10.5 gr.pellets. My Titan is a .17 caliber and is very powerful. 3 to 5 shots blows a chunk of wood off the back of the 3/4" pine board I staple my targets to. On my last outing, I took 11 out of 14 ground squirrels with it and I'm hoping it will get more accurate as the seal gets seated. It's more quiet than my RWS 94 spring/piston rifle and I like it a lot.

THE GOOD. It is powerful. It is very accurate when you get used to the trigger. I got half inch groups with Crossman bulk dome pellets at 25 yards. Other pellets were almost as good. The scope was on the bullseye when I mounted it. That has never happened to me before. Just ludky but a nice surprise. Overall I am pleased with this airgun. Haven't checked the velocity yet but it seems fast enough to me.

THE BAD. It is heavy and doesn't have sling mounts. The trigger is heavy with a lot of creep. You can shoot good groups but a better trigger would make this rifle a dream to shoot. And as others have said the finish is drab and blah

If you won't be carrying it far this airgun will work well for you. Probably not a good choice for a child.

This is a very good rifle for the money, considering the nitro piston itself costs about $110, so for $160 its a great deal. The accuracy is pretty good. Cocking is easy. The gun is very quiet. I have the .177 version but from what I've heard the .22 is more accurate. The scope that it comes with is not very good so I replaced it with a leapers 4-16x50 scope. This as a very good scope for the gun. Over all, the gun is very good for the money, I would recommend it to beginners in the airgun world.

The rifle is a bit on the heavy side. I would have liked to see some checkering on the stock. Also the gun should come with a better scope because it deserves it.

I've had vey good results with the .177 crosman premier hollowpoints. The gun favors heavier pellets. Another thing is that pyramid air says the rifle is 48' long but it is more like 44'. Break-in took me about 150 shots. This is an affordable and powerful gun (about 1000 fps) that I would recommend to people who want to try out a nitro piston powered rifle.

Awesome gun the most accurate of my four springers and close to the power of my PPCs. It holds an unbeliveable standard deviation of two on my Ohler 300 cronograph. In the process of mounting a better scope on it now. I have had it three months. I LIKE it.

triger is a little creepy and the scope that came with it sucks. I would ship it with a better scope because it deserves it.

Accurate after a break in, smooth cocking, kinda quiet and huge power, ininial test shots penetrated through 1 3/4" pine board.

Finish on the stock was not first class, not bad for the price though.

Great gun, price or no.

Is great for long range. Has a great stock. It's a beefy and quiet gun tht harmlessly kills squirrels and other rodents. So you can kill things without your neighbors noticing.

scope

It's a great gun for those who are first trying the nitro piston

I like the nice wooden stock ,it is very easy to hold. This rifle is alot like the crosman G-1 Exstream but with a wooden stock. the nitro piston is quieter ,it does not have the loud crack noise like the springers have. As far as recoil goes, there is some, but not as much as the springer type rifles. If I had the chance to buy this rifle over again, yes I would. It is a pleasure to shoot.

The trigger has a very long pull, something to get use to.

This rifle shoots almost like my Benjamin Trail NP .22, however with lower velocity, which does not bother me much. This rifle beside being lower cost as compared to Benjamin Trail NP, it weight less and requires less energy to break the barrel. Although this rifle does not have a shrouded barrel, the sound level sounds about the same as compared to Benjamin Trail, which is good. Very accurate rifle with Crosman hollow point pellets.

The scope is adequate for the rifle. Due to the good accuracy and precision of this rifle, this rifle is more suitable with a 3-9x or higher scope. For this rifle, I was able to zero the scope with 4 pellets, and was able to shoot a 5 shots grouping within 1' in a 25 yard distance. I think that with accuracy can further improved with a higher power scope.

This rifle is fun to shoot. Very quiet. I couldn't let go the rifle until I went out to pellets.

Heavy gun, good balance, like the cocking handle on end of barrel, very powerful

Fit and Finish could use some work, not as well crafted as the gamo i own, a bit rougher i think

Bought this one to try out a nitro piston gun. I was impressed with its power, very cool. its accuracy is not the best out of the box, to date Ive fired about 300 shots through it and tried 10 different brand/type of pellets accuracy has seemed to improve after about 200 shots and the gun seems to really like the predator and the gamo master point pellets be warned its real picky on what pellet you use. currently getting quarter sized groups at 40 feet with the above mentioned pellets... hope this helps you all

Good woodwork and nice steel. Power and accuracy A+.

Trigger and scope...

Good thing for this money...

the stock is smooth and nice.everything works fine.weight is ok. trigger is fine.

the package was broken but all the contents were there.the scope could be better.

it is still shooting 3 inch patterns at 25 yards

Price, accuracy, feeling in hands, fast shipping, comfy stock, and the Nitro piston make it a deal.

Properly crown the loading port. Reinforce the cocking lever (splays apart after a few thousand rounds). Better scope (3-9x32mm came with G1 Extreme for $99). Redesign trigger. Make it perform as well as the numbers tout. Claims 950 fps with PBA, and 800 with lead, but 650-750 is closer to muzzle velocity with lead pellets. Already finished: Hollowed tail of stock for storage Custom fit rubber recoil buffer for myself Transplanted scope and mount (3-9x32mm with one piece mount) Move muzzle brake forward Stuff to do still: Install GRT-III trigger Moly. lube contact points

Loud for a few shots, broke in after 100 downrange, settled down around 200, and sighted in so easily. Nitro piston is consistent, easy to cock, and rather quiet compared to the G1. This rifle can drive tacks when you have it figured out, and it sends lead out with lethal velocity. Mine has eaten through a tin of 500 Crosman Premier Hollowpoints quite happily, and I'm probably opening the second one in a day or two.

AMAZING gun for the money!!!!! I love this gun. Shoots great.

Needs sling holders

nothing

This is my secound review. I am up to about 2000 rounds and it is still kicking out Crosman Hollow point (7.9) at 955fps. This gun loves this round and makes dime size groups at 20 yrds. Yesterday I was hitting 2 1/2" targets @ 50,75 and 100yrds. This is my 3rd springer and it is by far better then the metal spring. So much control and not a chore to shoot. I look forward in pushing to even future out on the range to see what it can really do.

The gun is a bit heavy to carry around so they should have put sling mounts on this for hunting. I never used the scope supplied. Could have saved a few bucks if they would have removed this from the package. I did upgrade the trigger to the grtIII and works great so it is a must to do.

I really like the blueing on this gun. It has been out doors wet, handled what ever and no signs of light rust. Did not think I would like the wood stock but the thumb hole is really nice and the wood finish is nice as well. So far I am really pleased with this purchase and look forward to upgrading my Gamo with the Nitro piston in the future.

Everything about the gun is very impressive. I have the 22 model and the accuracy is amazing, I don't miss with this air rifle.

The one thing I didn't like was the stock, so I changed it. Refinished the entire stock by removing the painted on finished, gave it a dark wallnut stain with 10 coats of Birchwood Casey Tru-Oil finish and it looks great. I wish I could send a picture, not sure what the wood is but the grain looks real nice. Other than that there is nothing else I would change.

The Nitro Piston for cold weather shooting and the overall feel and appearance for the price.

The scope and scope mount. This is of minor concern for the PRICE!

I still consider myself a novice re: air rifles, but I'm loving it more and more. After a Crosman 800X Quest (.22) I wanted a rifle that I could shoot in all weather conditions and on a budget. Local .22 ammo is impossible to find, so I bought the Titan in .177 just to be able to get ammo on short notice; although I prefer the ammo selection from Pyramyd Air. Personally, a one piece "high mount" scope mount made a huge difference as do JSB pellets. I also found (here and elsewhere) that Loctite on the stock and scope mount screws is essential to achieve accuracy. Oh... and Pyramydair ROCKS!

Stock and overall fit and finish of air rifle. Hard hitting power this air rifle delivers, break in period was quik with only 100 pellets being fired till air rifle settled down. Shots nickel size groups at 30yds standing. Trigger works fine just a tad heavy, I won't replace it as groups are plenty tight with this trigger setting from the factory.

The scope for the price is ok the mounts will creep as they are cheap. I have chaged mounts to Beeman medium profile mounts and changed scope to a Leapers 3-9X40FE 5th Gen Elite which is perfect for this air rifle and the small game hunting i'll be doing with it.

If your on a budget and want the power, performance and accuracy the nitro piston delivers you can't go wrong with this setup. Try several different pellets mine prefers H&N Barracuda Match pellets

Nice woodwork, cool steel and it seems like seriously real effective rifle. Many thanks for pyramydair!

Scope may be, but for this money it is normal.

Realy good and powerful rifle. NOT A TOY!

Great rifle. It has good accuracy and power. it is handsome and looks like fire rifle :)

Scope, but in this price OK

I like the thum hole, also the power

the scope moves around on you but it is grate for taking out prests
