Description

The Benjamin Prowler Nitro Piston SBD Air Rifle improves upon a fantastic entry level breakbarrel thanks to the addition of a shrouded barrel. Capable of velocities up to 1,250 FPS with alloy pellets, this is a solid and capable breakbarrel air rifle with a scope that's well-suited to pest control, small-game hunting, and plinking.

The air rifle features a Nitro Piston powerplant which results in quieter, smoother, more-consistent operation, with less recoil versus a traditional spring-piston. In addition, it maintains function even in the cold, has less vibration, can be left cocked for longer since it can't suffer from spring fatigue, and outlasts springs which lose their performance over time.

In order to achieve a lower sound level without affecting the scope positioning, Crosman has included a shrouded barrel that features QuietFire noise reducing technology. Also, the all-weather synthetic stock has a cheekpiece for proper and repeatable eye placement, and a rubber buttpad for comfortable shooting.

This package includes a 4x32 CenterPoint scope and mount that sits on the 11mm dovetail rail for greater accuracy, and the two-stage trigger adjusts to achieve a consistent break for steady shots. The air rifle also features a textured forearm and grip that allow for a firm hold regardless of moisture.

For a feature-packed breakbarrel airgun with ample performance for small game hunting, plinking, or pesting, buy a Benjamin Prowler Nitro Piston SBD Air Rifle from Pyramyd AIR now.

Great riflr

While Chrono was done, the barrel was bent. I had a gunsmith straighten it, and it is spot on. Issue was due to how hard it was to break over. PA offered to replace it, but was easier to have it straightened.

Have the $20 test done. It will be worth it.

I have .22 version. Build quality and finish. Synth. Stock. Not hollow sounding.solid feel.grip. suppressor works great! Old versions were cocking handles. Trigger..adj. Not needed. Power! 22 ftlbs..plus! My piston must be overfilled. Accurate with 15 types/ weight pellets. Very. Very. Accurate. Which is surprising ...because it accepts the notably over-caliber h&n rabbit magnums(only gun that LOVES them ..out of 4 springers) without forcing into chamber! And STACKS THEM! The power allows me to go easy on my fav. Beeman Mach 12.5 28-30 ftlbs. Which is now only used for the largest prey. Hatsan EDGE is similar in power (spring powered)..but LOUD ( not very) in comparison. Smooth firing cycle. This is my only gas piston gun.

I am traditional( old fogey). I resisted synth. I resisted gas piston. I dislike bulky junk on gun barrels..ruins lines...talking about the silencer...but it performs excellent. No problem. I cannot address .177 cal. Version...so ignore any caliber-centric remarks.

Cocking feel is VERY different feeling cause of the gas piston. At 2 thirds full cock it seems like it" collapses"...like it " gives-up"..before sear engagement. Makes you think it failed. Nope. It HITS HARD!!!
QUITENESS ..in west texas..not priority. But this is SCARY QUITE gun. And quite scary value. Leave factory grease on action..clean barrel tho. Use spring chamber oil liberally to hasten breakin.pour excess oil out by standing it cocked an hour barrel down.
I have 400 dollar performance and joy...for 100 bucks. Fine with me!
Only Knockout Slugs are a problem..216 and .217 cal. Fall thru barrel..and catch in suppressor baffles.

Rest in peace Prowler. Gas strut dead...finally.(production date 12-10-2019). 4000+ shots and a lot of abuse. Everything still looks new..and I would like to re-strut it..irather than buy another. It was fun..but the advantage of metal spring is it keeps working ( on SOME level) if broken. My Rs 2 dual increased velocity when a coil broke a couple years ago. It's a 2012 model.

Will Jan 31, 2023

I bent the barrel when hand slipped mid-cocking stroke...stuck in door crack bent back easily..still great shooter. Loaned to buddy..he left it cocked two weeks...after 20 loose-up shots..still 20 ftlbs. Still fun. I got A LOT MORE than I paid for when it does finally quit!!! ( I 'look -down-my nose' at it ...but it performs excellent anyway).
