Benjamin NP Limited Edition Air Rifle

these are the only pellets i have used. they are consistant. if it works dont ghange.

nothing i am shooting 1.1/2" groupes at 50yards

these pellets kill pidgeons 1st shot every time

this rifle shoots good. the cocking gets a bit toughbut i am 61 years old. the scope works great it is very accurate. now i want to try a pcp gun i think recoil will be less

the trigger is a little stiff even adjusted but you get by with it.

it is a great gun to start with. well worth the money it costs

The accuracy !!!! With the H&N barracudas it is truly spooky accurate !!! Quiet and easy to cock. Took a bit to break in and settle down(200) or so shots . Light weight pellets spray like a leaky water hose . Love the fact it DOES NOT come with iron sights ,,, I hate the open sights ..they only cut up your hands

The trigger is ........Like a rusty car door . 12 dollars on eBay and it's now a target trigger . Grooved receiver for scope rings worthless . Plan on buying a quality picitinny rail . And torque it TIGHT . Others cry about the stock, but it's not a big deal

Don't hesitate to buy this rifle , but plan on a better scope and 50 or so bucks on rings, base , trigger and it's a winner !

Very accurate and also very quiet. I found the included scope to nice. Cocking effort is light.

As some others have mentioned, the stock is a bit short. I put a Limbsaver recoil pad on it. Not because of any great recoil but to extend the pull length a good inch. I didn't care much for the trigger. The pull seemed excessive to me and it was "notchy". Replaced it with a CBR from Charlie da tuna and now it's perfect. I try to make a habit of engaging the safety after every shot but wish it had an automatic safety.

Even though I used locktite when I installed the scope, the stop managed to back out resulting in it sliding back after a few hundred rounds. Removed it and reapplied locktite paying attention to getting it on the treads in the scope mount. If it happens again I think I'll drill and tap both the mount and the action for a larger stop. Overall, I'm very pleased with it.

Accurate, decent scope with the package, quiet compared to springers I have tried.

As stated before, this stock is a bear for people with small hands when benched. I have had to come up with a completely different hold just to get my finger appropriately onto the trigger face. I have Tiny hands though...

Awesome shooter after 150-200 pellets through it, for me. My NP specifically digests H&N Terminator HP's, putting 5 shots in just under 3/4" @ 25 yards. Took a ground squirrel with this combo at 38 yards on a laser rangefinder. Devastating combo of gun and pellet for Squirrels!

This gun shoots accurately and is powerful. I formerly had a Mendoza, a highly priced piece of junk! Metal was not hardened and pieces (e.g., sights) started to fall off from the jarring. The Benjamin is solid as a rock! It is also very quiet - especially considering how powerful it is. You will not be disappointed with this gun for the money!

As many reviewers have already said, the stock is a bit cheap. However, it IS durable. Biggest issue I have is that the safety doesn't engage automatically when it is cocked - instead, you have to do it manually.

The barrel is heavy, but it does help to stabilize when shooting. I popped a varmint instantly at well over a hundred yards!

Very low noise! Shoots great!!! Scope is a nice starter scope!!! Very well put together for the price!!

Mount is too high, and the stop screw is to big for the stop hole!! Adjustable cheek rest would be great!!

I think it is a good air gun for someone that wants to take out the unwelcome critters & it is fun to shoot!!! I did change out the trigger (CBR)!!! NOW 2 LB.

Lightweight , all weather stock , power , nice scope and mount. I ve done extensive research in choosing this rifle , watched all the videos, read all the reviews. I have about 65 rounds through it so far and found it to be very accurate. It is about 3 pounds lighter than my gamo hunter extreme. I choose it because of the lighter weight , all weather plastic stock (DONT HAVE TO WORRY ABUOT SCRATCHES) , 22 cal. ,and being the best choice among the others . The others have a wood stocks and a crappy scopes this one has the most bang for the buck. Purchased at 150.00 its definitely the best value and the best choice for me. I was looking for a lightweight 22 cal. with a good included scope and found it . This way i don't have to put out extra money for replacement scope. No spring noise very quiet overall .

For money i can't fault anything on this rifle it is very usable as is .

If you remove the stock for any reason beware the two forearm screws they can cross thread easily mine did so i had to retap the threads. I used a dremel tool to make extra clearance because the stock was rubbing on the barrel , also the scope screws loosened up so you will need to put loctite on all 8 scope screws , and also the scope mount screws. This rifle has considerable recoil so things do loosen up. This rifle comes with a centerpoint 3x9x40 AO scope, nicer than most. I used 320 grit sand paper on the stock to smooth out the rough spots from the molds , nice and smooth now.

Powerful, not to hard to cock and mine is VERY accurate when set up properly (see below) to the point that it shoots better then I do. Even with the scope mounting issues i was able to ping a 4 inch target at 50 yards. Priced in an affordable range i think you could hunt pretty well with this gun, as well as target shoot and plink. I like the trigger,which feels somewhat heavy out of the box. I like the synthetic stock (wood would have been nicer but for the price the money is better spent on the actual air gun mechanism) with its raised stippeling which provides a good grip (not as nice as checkering would have been but OK) Recoil feels about as much as my pals .22 rimfire. Scope is pretty decent for this rifle.

Better scope rings. Sling would be nice too. I dont like the safety being right infrount of the trigger- if it were automatic i might like it better.

Scope mount SUCKS-
Make sure the set screw goes into the hole (mine didnt fit properly)
POI would change after every few shots... eventually I realized that
the scope mount had bounced HALF OFF THE GUN - pretty annoying as I was in the woods on vacation. The verticle set screw had gouged a trail as it bounced backwards on every shot. When I got home I got a tap and die set and enlarged the hole to take the set screw (which did not fit properly before) and now the gun is a tackdriver at 15 yards (not taken it out again)

This review is based on my replacement rifle as the first was defective. Overall this gun is a tremendous value. I'd say it easily competes with break barrels in the $250-$300. The internals are the same as the Benjamin NPS or discontinued Remington NPSS which are a notch above those found in the Trail NP. It's a very smooth cocking gun with the lightest cocking of any gun in its class (my guess is low 30# range). The gun is light yet the recoil is very manageable. The shrouded barrel does make this a backyard friendly air rifle. The 40mm AO scope is very nice for an included scope and is well suited for this rifle. The trigger pull length can be adjusted and the break is reasonably clean and consistent. The stock is light and a good fit for smaller to medium shooters (more on these last 2 points in things I would change). Accuracy is as good as any breakbarrel I've shot but I did do a tune on mine before shooting. Rested 10 shot groups of 1/4" at 10yd and 1/2" at 20yd.

The stock geometry needs to be improved. The trigger is too far forward for comfortable shooting in all positions. Some positions are better than others but there is definitely room for improvement. I'd also increase the height of the cheek rest a bit and smooth out the under side foregrip section. The fit is just a touch tight at the breech which causes a slight rub during cocking. The trigger, while far superior to what comes on the Trail NP is in need of some work too. It's 1st stage pull is too long and the pull was close to 6 pounds! It actually hurt my hand after firing 200 pellets. The scope rail needs to be a weaver rail because the dovetail mount with vertical set screw is not able to handle the recoil properly. I realize this gun offers a ton for the money at its price but I would gladly pay 40 or 50 bucks more for these issues fixed. The trigger is the only thing I was able to fix using an $11 trigger kit that included a 2 pound spring, bushings and screw.

It likes CP HollowPoints and domes, and Diabolo exact jumbo heavies (best groups). Predator Polymags do about as good as the CPs. Gun benefits from a tune and barrel cleaning as there seemed do be some grime in the barrel. Unlike most break barrels this barrel freely pivots when cocked and tightening the breech pivot bolt won't prevent this. This probably contributes to its light cocking effort. Check ebay for the NPSS trigger kit. I did get occasional flyers out of my groups until I tightened the barrel pivot bolt a bit. As for mounting the scope, make sure you tighten the vertical set pin so it seats fully and then fully tighten and loctite (medium red or blue)all the screws. The monoblock scope mount is nice but the vertical set pin isn't up to the job of limiting rear slide and proper mounting is essential to get the scope to hold zero. Even with this my scope slid 1mm rearward before it settled into it's place. It could really benefit from a weaver mount.
