Page 2 - Benjamin Trail Mark II Reviews

Very well built and appears to be ready for the outdoors. I have not been able to get outside with any of my recent additions to my collection of air rifles and pistols but I will give it a better hands on evaluation soon,

Benjamin offers a stock attachment with many of their pistols and from the size and weight of this one I would think one would be available.

Accurate at 80 feet very pleased

Trigger pull way to long

Sweet shooting

Pistol is near impossible to cock. I couldnt cock it. My friend Rick could not cock it. His son who strength trains with weights cocked it finally after several tries. I dont know about accuracy as we are all tried out by our cocking experience.

Making a pellet pistol that is much easier to cock or notifying potential buyers that this pellet pistol is next to impossible to cock.

Eat your Wheaties.

This is a very solid gun

Thought is SAS a nice airgun

The thing has no power after 40 shots

Big piece of crap dont buy not worth money it

I liked the look & feel of this air pistol.

I would make the air pistol more powerful than it is.

The one I purchased was weak and could barely shoot out a pellet.

Awesome power and a pleasure to shoot. Well balanced and a fantastic deal for the buck.

Nothing

Looking for extreme power at an affordable price....you found it!

The thing that i liked about it was that its some what well balanced. It's very very easy to load and shoot. I would say that the sights are a little hard to use especailly for younger ( weaker) people cause its meant to be held far from the eye. Its also a pretty nice grip.

I would love the trigger to be more clean and smooth. Its almost like a easy pull for 1 mm then a very hard pull for 3 , leading into a extremely easy pull. I would defiantly wish for a different trigger because if you up the price bye 15 bucks, you can get a full on .22 rifle with a extremely smooth trigger pull.

Its worth it for the price, you can blow threw 500 pellets ez no problem, but there are just problems that keep this gun from a a 5 star.

Decent accuracy for a pistol. Easy to cock out of the box with the cocking aid. Very quiet!

The trigger is TERRIBLE! The grip is totally un-ergonomic. It might fit Arnold Schwarzenegger, but nobody else. The picatinny rail is useless because anything placed on it would get squeezed when you try to cock the gun. To fix the horrible trigger you have to change the geometry of the cocking push rod inside the gun by grinding off a lot of steel from it so it will clear the trigger group. A longer trigger screw must be installed. This increases the cocking effort tremendously, but the trigger can be totally fixed this way. You might be able to fix the trigger by stoning the seat if you can get to it.

I am going to take a Dremel tool to the grip to take off some of the blocky edges. Who designed this POS?

It took a little practice to set my aim with this. . easy to cock than the trail NP. the suppressor makes it quite and looks better

I bought it to replace in the field my RWS P5 which has not been holding up between repairs( that I am retiring to the collection.
This gas piston was less money holds up longer

Cocking is smooth and not difficult at all. The gas piston makes it smooth to shoot and I found it accurate with a red dot installed, rear fiber optic rods to close together for my eyes. The gun is big which I like and the cocking assist helps a lot and can be removed for shooting, gun looks better with out it on.

Front sight is very tall and nonremovable, if you remove rear sight and install red dot the red dot must be mounted on high scope rings to clear front sight in viewing area. The trigger is probably the worse part but can be improved. It feels very gritty and has alot of pre-travel. I installed a longer adjustment screw in the trigger (stock screw was bottomed out), rounded and smoothed the bottom of the screw with a Dremel tool, added some Super Lube to the end of the screw and readjusted this screw in the trigger. This little trick improved the trigger by 50%. Still alot of pre-travel but much better and smoother.

Even if reviews show it shoots less than the advertised FPS it is still powerful and smooth. I use and like Beeman Hollow Point Coated Pellets in this pistol.

Looks

Trigger, velocity, add a folding stock?

Waste of money. Velocity is way under advertising. Bounces off glass bottles with no damage at all from 30 ft. Away! Trigger pulls, and pulls and pulls roughly, crunchy, till it finally decides to fire and by that time you've lost your aim. Could have gotten a better one for half the price. It's going back to academy. Benjamin got it all wrong this time.

Too darn big! I was astonished at the size of this thing, calling it a pistol is a stretch. I did not fire this gun after I saw the fps drop over 100 on my 10 for 10 test. From 520 to 418. Sent it back for a chrony which will serve me better. For the money a Hatsan Edge is a much better deal, or a Beeman P-17 pistol.

size.

The pistol is easy to cock with the assist. Pretty accurate out-of-the-box even with the standard wadcutter and pointed Crosman pellets I used. Works great with a scope too.

The trigger screw was overtightened or had Loctite applied to it; almost stripped it. The trigger pull, as well as the pistol itself, are a bit heavy. Both need to be lighter. The pistol is long even with the assist attached, could use a shoulder stock attachment like the Crosman 1377/1322.

The grip is larger than most pistols so you may have an easier time grasping it if you don't have smaller than average hands like I do.

I don't have a chronometer so I couldn't measure the FPS, but I felt that the shots were pretty consistent.

With a scope it rocks in my backyard,it looks great!

I would like a shoulder stock

A little under the FPS but it works for me in a smaller backyard

Same airgun as the old Benjamin Trail NP with a different grip and barrel cocking extender. Same problems of air escaping at the breech when it is fired due to an under-engineered barrel lockup detent and a long and heavy trigger with a difficult-to-anticipate breaking point. Crosman could have turned the Trail into a real shooter, but chose not to. Disappointing.

This pistol is big .easy to cock. Does not get near 600 fps. More like 500 fps. . Not too impressed. Get the Browning pistol you will get the better fps and accuracy your looking for

Fps. Accuracy. Sights . Trigger size.

Does not get 600 fps
