Description

All gas springs (gas pistons, gas rams) are NOT created equal!

The Nitro Piston 2 has it all over the original Nitro Piston and almost every other gas spring on the market. Most gas springs have a reputation of being hard to cock, but the NP2 put an end to that. According to airgun writer Tom Gaylord, it's the easiest-cocking gas piston he's ever shot.

But Crosman didn't stop the improvements there. They also improved the trigger so it feels like it's been tuned! Imagine that: A factory trigger that breaks crisp and clean. It has a significantly lighter trigger-pull, not one of those so-called "lawyer" triggers that requires Herculean strength to shoot.

As long as they were making improvements, Crosman decided to make a better and more effective integral sound suppression system that really is quiet. You'll notice an immediate difference between the report from your Nitro Piston 2 air rifle and the older Nitro Piston guns or other brands.

So, let's add up what you'll get in this great package: Easy cocking, fantastic trigger and less noise. And, it's assembled in Crosman's plant in Bloomfield, New York. While that's almost everything you could ever want, there's one more thing -- and it's really important: Accuracy. When Tom Gaylord tested a Nitro Piston 2 at an industry show, he commented that he hit everything he aimed at. Isn't that what you want to do? We thought so!

The Benjamin Trail NP2 with a Realtree Xtra camo stock isn't a dream -- it's a dream come true. It's here for you to enjoy, to hit everything you're aiming at, and not strain with each cock and each pull of the trigger. They've put the fun back in airgunning!

If you purchase the .22-caliber rifle, your box may state the wrong velocity with lead pellets.

Very lightweight and easy to cock; shoots very well with a variety of different pellets; very accurate right from the start with the scope it came with;easily takes out varmits from my yard protecting my dog

possibly include a sling; make it with open sights as well

very accurate and hard hitting; short break in period; accurate; lightweight; worth the price

It claims to shoot at 1100 fps but on my Croney it never shoots over 800 fps no matter how light of a pellet I use in it. I knew it wasn't hitting targets as hard as my Marauder pistol so I went out and brought a croney to test the fps.

Give it the correct fps like 700 to 800 fps.

That I don't want it and wish I could return it or exchange it but I brought it back in August and it is still in the box.

bob Jun 04, 2017

You refuse to shoot a gun because a .22 does not shoot 1100 fps. You don't want any pellet gun shooting that fast. Even 2,000 guns shoot under 900 fps. They are not accurate that fast. You want to be from 800-900 fps range with any air gun for accuracy. The .177 state 1100 fps but that is just to suck people in that only think the bigger the number the better the gun. 700-800 is good for a .22 version. I would give that gun another try.

Steven Jun 01, 2016

It sounds like you bought the .22 version (don't even see an option to get the .177 version), which would shoot slower, but actually have more power. The description states that if you buy the .22 version the FPS listed on the box will be incorrect, because manufacturers list the .177 FPS since it's faster and so looks better.

Much more accurate than the stoeger suppressor. Very nice feel and very quiet right out of the box. Stock does have sharp edges. Camo stock is awesome. I'm impressed. Sighted in less than 20 sshots . I should have purchased this instead of the x20s stoeger. Just a better rifle.

Stock has sharp edges

For my needs ,I don't think I will need another gun, it's ultra quiet powerful, and is an impressive Pellet rifle. I purchased the stoeger because of the price and now it's for sale!

I had to send my gun back. The end of the plastic shroud blew off and left me with a defective gun. PYRAMYD took care of me and sent another. I will update after replacement is received and set up.

first thing is overall feel of the gun and how quiet it is.

the scope (even though the scope seems to be pretty decent, its just not to my liking). Metal barrel shroud. Instructions could be bigger( the letters).

my first 22 cal and gas piston, i bought this in the premium bundle. Overall the the feel of the gun is very very comfortable and easy to cock. I like the safety and it location. The trigger to me is firm and smooth (factory setting on this is just fine for now). I tried shooting this at 100 feet out of the box went back to thirty feet for pellet testing and break in, the accuracy at 30 feet is right about 1/2 in or tighter. The gun is extremely quiet. Great rifle for the price. If you looking for a great gun give this one a shot if you dont like send it back.

Update the hold on this gun is craddle the forearm so that it floats and just barely let the recoil pad touch my shoulder so that the recoil kicks back then the forward recoil counter acts this motion, the best tune job i did was recrown the muzzle using a 3/4 " face to "square" the muzzle then using a 79 degree "target crown" yes my muzzle was not square. Then i shot a tin of 250 cheap soft lead poorly made china pellets through it. At 25 -30 yards these pellets started grouping pretty tight. I then started shooting benji disco hp and crosman hp both 14.3 gr my groups are now closer to 1/2 in groups with many going into the same hole. I also do not have a problem the baffles coming loose or having to tighten the barrel shroud constantly. I have no doubt that once my "hold" on the gun is perfected I should be able to get close to 3/4 in group at 60 yards. This rifle is not the best rifle for fun and or accuraccy its very time consuming to master if at all. i do enjoy plinking with it.

Edwin Dec 04, 2015

just gotta add some to this......i got over 1000 rds through it today the more i shoot it the more i like it. @ 50 yds with croman and beji hp pellet the groups are starting to look good, have order various different pellets for testing, will be upgrading the scope when it gets here. I would stress getting a scope with an AO the ones without it just dont seem to be accurrate at the distances i want to shoot.

He's still getting used to it and making adjustments but really enjoys shooting it.So far it's been awesome; no complaints.

Excellent value for the price.

I like the feel of the gun, the camouflage and the weight.

The stock is very weak and started to rub on the barrel close to the breach and started causing it to pull to the left. The speed of the gun should be a better correlation to actual usable pellets if it's called a hunting rifle you need to be able to use hunting pellets and understand speed in regards to power. The machining on the guide pins was very rough and you can even feel it as you charge the nitro piston this has to calls premature wear

It's a good Little Rifle if everything was as it was stated if the stock was good and the machine work was good I wouldn't have a problem keeping it but I'm going to send this one back!

The weight, very light. Comfortable. The trigger. Def like the trigger compared to most of my guns in that price range. Great power, easy cocking. Nice and quiet, def a backyard shooter and neighbor friendly

Plastic piece on shroud. And maybe just a little denser stock.

Great gun for overall cost, great hunting rifle. Good trigger. Normally I don't buy crosman products after I've purchased one of the biggest pieces of garbage from them (pistol) but I heard this was built in my home state of New York at the crosman facility. That was the turning point for me. The gun is great for the price range. The synthetic stock isn't as nice as my stoeger (must use a different type of plastic) but overall this is the type of gun you can just toss in the back of the car and not worry.

Rod Jan 13, 2015

I had the same problem till I changed out the trigger, then it stopped.

brendon Dec 08, 2014

Update on the trigger, not pleased. The trigger sometimes fires before making it to the second stage. Kinda annoying and unreliable. About half way through the first stage.

I really like the over design of this gun. The stock looks really nice and the gun feels good in your hands. I also love how quiet it is the sound of your pellet hitting the target is louder then the shot. I've equipped mine with a 4-16x40 AO MD IR scope and a benjamin sling. Overall this is the best break barrel ive ever owned shoots extremely accurately out to 65-70 yards.

The trigger while a improvement over the original NP could still use a little work. I plan on swapping it out for a aftermarket trigger in the near future but its totally usable. I would also like to see this gun bundled with a better scope or simply sold without a scope for a cheaper cost.

This is a awesome break barrel I have had no problems with mine it shot great right out of the box. I found that the best pellets for this gun are the H&H Field Target Trophies 14.66 grain and the JSB Diabolo Exact Jumbo Express 14.35 grain. I average 830+ fps with both and 22+ FPE.
