Opinions on the Benjamin Trail XL .22?

[270windude]

Ok I won’t say that I dispute accuracy claims from forum members, you included. I will say I’m skeptical of anything I haven’t seen with my own eyes. Only because I’ve been duped so many times. And yes we hijacked the thread but it’s still airgun talk.

I included when I bought a Stoeger S4000-e on a positive review at Pyramid Air.

Now it sits alongside my Benjamin Trail XL .22 to keep it company although they both have their individual reasons for sitting it out on the sidelines.

If I want to revisit my springers I reach for my two Hatsans. A 95 and Vortex 1000.

Go to krale and get a weirauch (or however you spell it) for less than $260. Done.

Way overpowered to be super accurate.

If you’re going cheap gas ram get a Crosman Titan GP or other. Or a lower pressure gas ram.

I've had my Trail .22 for a couple of years now and I do like it. True it's heavy, and does pack a jolt when shot, and I agree it takes some bonding time to get the right hold down...but...if you invest the time and get to know the piece you will have a real nice shooter in my opinion. I really enjoy the power as it zaps my targets. I am a Springer guy and enjoy a challenge. Take care all

There you go. Always different strokes for different folks, and few "opinions" of one apply to all. My experience with the gun was less than stellar (but I still have it) and you have had good performance from it and, most importantly, you "enjoy" shooting it. That's all that matters. Glad it works well for you.

Are they allowed to ship to the USA?

I Would think shipping would be very high??

Those where my first 2 rifles one. 177 one. 22 the 6 years ago..the 177 was like a 25y gun the .22 in no wind condition I could shoot a soda can at 90y no problem very consistently...sold them n buy 2 hatsan sniper. 22 n .25 great shooters very consistent to .. I don know how much money Springer's go today but for $300 i.buy a hatsan better.

I have the Benny in my closet at the moment, only reason is the weather is dang cold and raining. outside. It has never failed me and shoots very accurateat 20, 30 , 40, 50, 60 and 70 yards. I did use an awful lot of pellets and arm power to get used to it but once I came to understand the rifles unique piston quirks and the overall shot cycle of the nitro piston, it is one of my favorite rifles to shoot. I am not into PCP guns as of yet and 1377, 1322 pistols are my only other airguns at the moment, but dollar for dollar I am very pleased by the power and the accuracy of my rifle.

If you want to learn to shoot better, grab any Canadian Military rifle, you learn quick how to adjust and adapt...

I will give you a good deal on mine! I will let you try it for FREE""" seriously a pcp with all the fixings is intimidating but once you get the basics you will be so much happier & successful in what your trying to accomplish!

If you are interested in one of the Weihrauchs then Krale is the place to go. Even with shipping costs you will still get the rifle for significantly less than anywhere in the US. And their shipping is fast . I got an HW30S from them last fall and it took three days to get to me. I have heard of people who received an order in two days.
