Just bought a Benjamin Titan Nitro Gp, scope is a Center Point 4x32. I've noticed that the Ocular is adjustable but there is no way to secure it in place the locking ring seems to be just cosmetic and does not move? Is this the design or do I have a scope that was severely cross threaded at the factory and won't move? I intend to replace it with something better after break in.New to the forum, thanks for any input..

Some eyepieces have a locking ring, in others, they just rely on friction to hold the adjustment.... Once you have it adjusted for your eye, you don't use it after that.... set it and forget it....

The locking ring should operate.

Thanks Guys, found a 3x9 Simmons in the basement, will mount that tomorrow and that should end the problem.

Philly,

If it's a defect, Crosman will replace the scope for you. Just give them a call and see what they say.

If you intend to discard the scope, I'd be more than happy to take it off your hands should you choose that route.

Ok, scope problem solved, the Simmons works great. New problem, I have installed my Charlie Da Tuna trigger and am having a b***h of a time adjusting it. I'm going from hair trigger to safety not holding when on and I press trigger. Have an experienced buddy coming over tomorrow so enough for tonight.

Put the triggers adjustments in the center/middle positioning (both screws) and start over.

Just back out the screws until they are completely receded into the trigger blade housing. Did you see the instructions for adjusting it?

The original trigger was designed by another guy, same instructions:

Read the instructions completely. They cover problems with the safety:

There are apparently some manufacturing differences in the intermediate sear (strut) of the Titans, which can cause the "hair trigger" effect. Read about it here:

I should've paid attention to the first line- "TitanGP", Doh!

With the gun out of the action all you can really feel is the first-to-second stage transition, and not the point where the sear breaks. (It's not really safe to cock or test fire it that way.) Do this:

Insert a very small screwdriver between the primary sear and the compression tube. Using very light pressure, pry the sear away from the tube. (By light I mean one fingertip.) Then test the trigger - when the sear breaks the sear will snap up (away from the tube) and the screwdriver will flop loose. Doing your adjustments this way will save a lot of test firing. This won't be exact (because the force of the mainspring stresses the parts differently), but it will get you very close.

To answer your question, here is my Titan, uncocked, with the trigger all the way forward (at rest). There is indeed a little space between the primary sear and strut (secondary sear). When it's cocked they will be pushed together:
