Benjamin Titan XS Air Rifle

The Benjamin Titan XS is the perfect .177 pellet gun that I've been waiting 5 years for! It is very well built, has great ergonomics\handling and has proven Very Accurate (10yds=Same Hole w\Benjamin 7.9gram lead HP). There's virtually no recoil and I can shoot in my workshop without hearing protection, it's that quiet (thanks to the smooth Nitro Piston technology)! The included Centerpoint 3-9 x32 scope is okay and adjust well for a consistent zero. At 1000fps (lead pellets, sub-sonic=stable ballistics), it is very powerful, carrying 18 foot lbs of punch. In just 5 back-to-back bulls eye shots, I tore a hole in my Gamo 8 gauge sheet metal target housing I started with...will need to beef it up to keep using! I've not had the chance to take it out long range (50 to 100 yds), but am confident it will be a very accurate plinker and small game hunter!

Trigger length of pull is long, but there is an adjustment screw that helps a little...just follow the OEM directions.

I bought this to clear out a pigeon problem when all else had failed. The gun is solid and heavy just like a high power center fire would be. I sighted it in with the hollow point 7.9 grain pellets and it shoots better than expected. The box said to expect best results at 33 feet. I set up a target at 75 feet and shot 30 rounds from my porch resting on the porch rail. 29 of the 30 rounds went withing a 2 inch group and one flyer moved out about 4 inches. The waind was blowing about 12 MPH so this was remarkable in my opinion.

I would only change the 2 stage trigger. I have shot rifles all my life and there is just no need for such a long pull.

This is a no nonsense gun and you need to be as careful as if shooting a 22. This gun will blast through hardy plank siding and has no problem going almost 1 inch in a phone book. The pellets hit so hard they perfectly mushroom to about double the diameter. Make sure of your backstop. My pigeon problem is all resolved

This gun has a great feel to it. It looks great too. It's very accurate. I like the .177 caliber, it shoots fast and flat. It just seems to naturally get on target for me. I much prefer it over my Trail NP with wood stock. I'm consistently getting 1.0 groups at 25 yards. The scope mount is great.

Maybe trim a pound or so off of it if possible. The scope is very basic and could be upgraded, which I did as I had a better one that I purchased for my other gun, and put it on this one.

I'm definitely very pleased with this purchase. I don't think that you can expect any better accuracy from a break barrel. The nitro piston is a great advantage over a spring IMO. I would highly recommend this model.
