to not worry much about velocity from any rifle.
my NP trail, in 22, hits HARD and kills what i hit with it...
it likes the 18 grain JSBs |
That's the bottom line--and if it hits where its aimed.

That's a good one.  ...I missed that post before, somehow.

I hear the regular Trail is much better than the NP XL. I have a plain Benjamin Titan, and it carries sufficient energy to at least 50 yards as I have confirmed to kill rabbits and fat doves with accuracy you can depend on. The regular Trail has the same guts as far as I know.
EDIT: I did not realize this was an old topic when I posted this. Lol. It's late. |
Whats the difference between the regular and the NP? |

Power level, low to high = Titan, Trail, Trail XL.
All have the nitrogen filled gas piston spring instead of the traditional metal coil spring for power, as far as I know, and are usually given the NP in the name, if they are, for "Nitro Piston." e.g. Titan NP, Trail NP, Trail XL NP (which the XL also say 1500 for the .177, 1100 for the .22, etc.)
So a Trail NP XL 1100 is the highest level power, gas piston equipped rifle of the Trail line, and would be a .22 caliber.
I have a Trail NP All Weather in .22 caliber. It has the gas piston, no 1100 in the model number or name for the .22 caliber designation--because it is not an XL model. The all-weather stock is black plastic. It is the mid power, non XL and is shooting about 16 ft-lbs muzzle energy for me.
Clear as mud? |

| Yep, I think I got if fingered out. I have also seen a detuned version of the titan http://www.crosman.com/airguns/rifles/break-barrel/BW7M77NP for sale in illinios. I sure didnt know Illinios was that way. I seriously thought about getting one to use in the morton building for sparrows. But after getting my full strenth version Im glad I didnt. I think I will save my money from now on and get RWS or Weihrauch rifles. |

Yeah, they have a version for all 49 states, and Illinois too.
I like Chinese airguns for tuning and making shooters out of them, but sometimes I want one decent out of the box. Love my RWS, never had a Weirauch yet. I also like Air Arms from England. |
