Here is my initial review of the Benjamin trail NP .22 rifle with hardwood stock. I went for the standard and not the XL as I wanted a quieter gun and figured accuracy would be better if I stayed sub-sonic. I am in Canada so could not buy from pyrimade air or amazon so I bought from lebaron. Out of the box the gun is beautiful. Finishing problems reported by others are mostly absent. Small scratch marks on stock near one of the front screws, otherwise finish is fantastic. Weight of the gun is 2932g, weight of 3-9x centerpoint scope (not illuminated version) is 562g, weight of sling is 57g = total 3551g or 7.8 lbs. I am 6'4" so length of stock feels a little short by 1-2" but not intolerable. The only pellets I have so far are the Crosman Premier HP at 14.3gr. Shots chronographed in my basement about 5' from muzzle on a Beta Chrony. I did not scope the rifle for the first 100 shots as I new recoil would be more vigorous. 1st shot ever was LOUD - 1016 fps! Shots 2-12 highest velocity 772fps lowest 749fps average 763fps extreme deviation 22.9fps average deviation 4.44fps. Shots 50-60 highest velocity 769 fps lowest 749 fps average 758 fps extreme deviation 19.9 fps average deviation 5 fps. Shots 100-110 highest velocity 763 fps lowest 731 fps average 31 fps extreme deviation 31.4 fps average deviation 6.75 fps. Shots 250-260 highest velocity 745 fps lowest 735 fps average 735 fps extreme deviation 14.3 fps average deviation 3.775 fps. By 100 rounds the noise was much more tolerable - I would still wear ear protection indoors but I would characterize the noise as more like a quiet nailgun. After 100 rounds I mounted the scope. At 10 yards gun was shooting 3" below aiming point at maximum setting for the scope. I ended up needing to have to shim the rear ring with about 2 mm of aluminum foil to get it to shoot on target. This is where I am very, very happy - this gun shoots better than I am able to. At 10 yards 10 round groups measuring 15/16 of a inch (outside to outside). 5 consecutive 3 round groups measuring 1/2", 2/3", 1/2", 7/16", 10/16". I will often have 2 shots touching each other. And this is just with standard tined Crosman premier hp pellets! Also the trigger sucks, long scratchy first stage with unpleasant heavy 2nd stage. I then took the gun outside. There was intermittent 10-20 mph gusts of cross winds so accuracy probably suffered some. 10 yards - 5 shots under 1/2 inch with average at target velocity of 709fps. 20 yards - 5 shots under 2 inches with average of 2 at target velocity of 663fps. 30 yards - 5 shots under 2 inches with 1 at target velocity of 635fps. (not all shots were registered by the chrono at 20 and 30 yards and I ran out of time.) Pro - Beautiful gun. Comfortable weight. Quiet. Tack driver. Integrated weaver scope rail. Functional scope. Excellent price. Cons - having to shim the scope to get on target. Crappy trigger. P.S. I have subsequently replaced the stock trigger with a GRT III and the difference is night and day. Beautiful, crisp trigger. ...By CanMD
