Page 3 - Benjamin Titan GP Reviews

feel , accuracy, overall look

Benjamin will you please fix the trigger I didn't even take one shot without moding the trigger, its that bad, please explain why you need such a terrible trigger, why, why, why. After fixing the trigger the rifle is crazy accurate

If you cant or wont modify the trigger, don't buy the gun, I own 3 benjamins and they suck until you mod the trigger , then they are excellent guns.

The gun is excellent, very accurate.

I would change nothing.

Nice rifle, in this price you cant beat it.

In this price range you can't beat it. Feels good and the weight is good.

Not much I would change if it would change the price point. If the trigger could be improved that would be nice if it didn't affect cost.

No frills and nothing fancy. Just a nice rifle that will excel in small game hunting at an entry level price.

This gun is a tack driver,feels good in your hands,just an all around good rifle.

The scope is junk,the trigger is horrible, but if you can shoot,you can make it work.

From the get go,I replaced the scope,to many bad reviews on that scope. If you take your time with the trigger,you can put pellets thru the same hole,very pleased with this gun for the money.

Love this gun very accurate and powerful lots of bang for the bucks I upgraded the scope to a center point 4-16x32 AO and added mounts for a sling that required drilling into the stock and cocking arm of the gun which voided the warranty but it now has a sling and a better scope so I'm cool with that

I would have equipped it with sling mounts and front and rear sights

I love everything about this gun at its price range!

It's perfect.

For the price you can't ask for more. Benjamin took the Crossman Vantage added their own custom stock and sound dampener. This gun is almost 2 lbs. lighter, one and 1/2 in. shorter, a bit quieter and a hole lot easier to hold and steady. A rock solid value!

Love the feel of this gun, definitely has a very nice finish to it. It is well built. Once broken in it shoots consistently as long as you for sure have the scope set up properly (the scope that comes with the gun is not great). I'm able to kill squirrels very easily in my yard and my back fence is about 35 yards.

The gun is great but the scope that comes with the gun is by far the weak spot of this setup. If it came with a slightly better scope it would greatly improve the deal. I've fought and fought with the scope and it just isn't great. I'll definitely be changing the scope at some point in the future for a better one...

Don't get too frustrated with the setup. Be patient and get through the break in period. Expect to have to play with the scope a lot during the break in period but be patient. You'll also have to snug up the scope mounts from time to time.

Nice feel, looks good, accurate after swapping out the scope. I sighted in at 40 yrds, I can cover a 2" bulls eye all day with hollow points and wad cutters. Trigger is easily adjustable.

All reviews say the scope isn't any good, it's not. It should be left off and let the buyer get a good one from the start. The rifle is a little heavy almost as heavy as my 30-06 but that gives me a better feel for when I do shoot the 30-06. The trigger pull needs to come lighter, it's way too heavy of a pull but easy to adjust. The stock is a little short.

All in all it's a nice rifle. I'm 6' tall, 210lb's. The stock is a little short but it's fine. After putting on a new scope I can hit the bulls eye all day at 40 yrds and bury the shot about 1/4" in a sheet of ply. My wife has a hard time cocking it. It's a little louder than expected but still no problem. It took about 100 rounds before the accuracy came, the barrel either got cleaner or I learned the rifle a little better. For the money it's nice, a lot of fun to shoot. Definitely not a toy.

Good value at $130.00 dollars. Shoots hard. Will make a fine addition to my collection of rodent control and small game hunting rifles. This is my first thumb hole rifle and I love how it fits my hand. The wood stock makes this rifle much lighter than synthetic stock rifles.

Center Point scope that comes with this rifle is totally useless. I replaced it with a scope that I took off of my Ruger Targis. Trigger travel is way to long even after adjusting it's first stage. I did the Youtube 5X8mm RC bearing modification and it was more than worth the $5.00 cost of the bearing.

Trigger pull length is about 14 inches, way to short for a tall man(6'2"). I had to buy an after market pull over recoil pad to add an addational 1-1/4 inch to the rifles trigger pull length. Fits me well now. It is loud! Recoil is a bit hard hitting, not suitable for many young or female shooters.

Bough cheap on sale and built like it.

The trigger is awful. The buttpad stinks bad. It will stink up your shirt. You will smell like China. My dovetail was cut poorly. It was off center and the left side was not as sharp. This caused scope mounts to lean left the slip off. The scope provided is compete junk. Accuracy is OK but not on par with the other entry level gamo Wildcat or Umarex Fuel I have. Both of which I would recommend over this by a mile.

This gun was in .22 caliber. OK gun for so kid that does not know any better.

Right out of the box, the Titan shot a quarter size group at 10 yards. I did clean the barrel first. There was considerable filth in the barrel from manufacturing, as expected. Other than mounting the scope it was ready to go. It takes some strength to clock this bad boy but seems to get better with every crank. The sound is about average, but again I'm sure it will quiet down with use. The trigger pull is similar to military standard-very long pull, but something I'm used to and know how to use. The power of this WEAPON is amazing! The 22 cal. Titan is a tool that will definitely put meat on the table at a reasonable price point.

I would change nothing.

There are solutions to the trigger pull after market.

The hole gun is AMAZING. For the price this gun is good.

You need to get used to the trigger or buy a GTR 3

This is a great hunter and plinker. When you first get this gun first probably 20-40 shots are just burning oils and factory crap off. Once this gun is wore in its great.

The nitro gas cylinder is very smooth and the gun is very quiet.

The trigger is hard and rough from the factory. I did some mods on it and now it is very light and slick.

I bought this gun in 2012 and have waited until now to rate it. I have done all the tunes possible (smothed out the barrel bore, crowned, bronze barrel bushings, honed compression tube) and I am still not completely satisfied with accuracy. I can offhand shoot golf balls all over the yard pretty consistently. It just seems that with any type hold I get inconsistent groups on paper. At 30 yards I am well pleased but anything past that not so much. For the money I am sure most people would be quite satisfied but I guess I just expected more. It seems to like heavier pellets best(10.5 g) I am sorry if this is a confusing review but it's the best I can do.

Easy to load, easy to fire. Wood grain instead of plastic, fits well into your body.

Scope stinks but for $89 for my purchase how can I complain.

If you go to u tube and find how to change trigger pull it will make it possible for dime size groups at 50 yards. And like Any air gun it takes about a hundred shots to brake in.

Beautiful wood shape and the weight. Very easy to handle.

Wish it would come with a pre-sited scope.

Great value and a lot of fun. Very contagious!

I was looking out for a Nitro Piston to add to my arsenal of air rifles. I zeroed in on this one because of the reviews and best bang for the buck. Personally I think this gun is the best gas piston gun you can buy for just a little over 100.00 mark. I waited for the sale with free shipping and used 10 best buy bucks and got it for about 120.00. I love this gun, it's quiet, soft kickback, light in weight 6 lbs without scope, comfortable in the hands, very accurate. I'm okay with the trigger I learned to get used to it on another Crosman spring piston Rifle I have. This is an awesomely accurate, plenty of power, everyday rough and tumble, bang it up, do it all kind of air rifle.

The minor things I would mention is the included scope is not matched well to such a deadly accurate capable gun, but I know that since it doesn't come with direct sites it's the way things are packaged to get the best price to undercut the competition. The was a little roughness tiny chips of wood missing around the edges in the front screw holes or the fore stock, very very minor, but just cosmetic nothing I'm going to worry about at this price point.

I read the reviews and with past experience about the low performance with pre-packaged included scopes, and I had already purchased a Hawke Vantage 4x32 AO scope for it in hand. When I received the Rifle .177 version, cleaned the barrel, checked for any loose screws (there where none) and mounted the Hawke Scope. I started taking shots with crosman premier hollow points and trying to get a rough zero in the scope. At 40 feet, the shots where all over the place up to 50+ shots or so, and I mean all over the place, up, down, left, right. I was shooting 40 feet from target, absolutely no consistency. Checked everything nothing was loose. At this point I was thinking about boxing it up and returning it. Set the rifle down for a couple hours came back to it, After the next 10 shots I noticed the consistency starting to group and couple of rough adjustments of the scope later and the gun was shooting dead on. Think that oil in the gun/barrel needed to burn off mixed with break in.

Open stock, pistol route grip. Easy trigger pull.

Can be hard to activate the break barrel.

This rifle fits up really nice. It looks sensational. I have had a lot of looks from my friends. The wood is very nice for the cost of the rifle. And the accuracy is excellent.

Trigger is a little heavy but does not hinder shooting. Scope is really limited but is quite usable for closer shooting.

This thing is a tack driver. After adjusting the scope for about 30 minutes I was getting quarter size groups from 70 feet. Not too shabby. With a better scope no telling what you could get.

The stock felt good but looks like doggie-dodo. The finish is smooth but I do plan to remove it, stain the stock, and refinish.

I replaced the scope with a cheap scope from B&L that was much clearer. the grooves on the rifle are not very deep and the original mounting fell off during the first 100 rounds. When I remounted it, I thoroughly tightened the mounting screws and it has worked fine since, I was worried about stripping the threads when I tightened them the second time.

I was warned that it would probably take 500 rds. to 'break-in', and settle-in the group. I was wrong; it took over 700rds. I was going to return it, but I couldn't get thru (XMAS) to get an Return Number, so I continued top shoot it and it finally settled in fine (though I still get an occasional flyer (now at about 1000 rds). The trigger reminds me of the BB gun I had when I was a boy. Once the slack is taken up, it is a heavy and not-smooth pull until it finally goes off. From the description of the Titan 2, the trigger alone justifies the increase in price. Now with over 1000 rds, I am pleased with the rifle and plan to keep it, though I will research a trigger replacement

Beautiful rifle! Easy to shoulder and point, aim and shoot.

Scope is not that great but not all that bad. It works. Trigger is pretty stiff will be adjusting it.

Out of the box, mounted scope and first shot was way low. But after 30 min. of pleasurable adjusting the rifle now shoots Quarter size grouping at 70 feet! Excellent!
