I am pretty new to airgunning and after using my Benjamin 397 for a while (I like it) I wanted a rifle with a easily mounted scope that was QUIET for shooting in my backyard (the 397 is kind of loud for my neighborhood) and shooting rats and crows.
I got the Benjamin Trail all weather and I liked a lot of the features on it: it was pretty quiet, the weaver rail made mounting anything really easy, and the .22 was a good step up for hunting, it really made a difference in shooting the rats and the crows.
Bad part is that I can't get it to group well at all. Even using the artillery hold at 10 meters I could get 3" groups. I can occasionally get one hole groups with it for some of the shots and then others go wild.
For example the other day I was shooting from a rest at 10 meters using RWS Super H Pt and shot a 5 shot string. 3 of the five went in one hole, stacked on top of each other and two more went a minimum of 3" left and missed my pellet trap all together. From where they hit the fence it looked like one must have missed the trap by about 5".
I have a total of about 300 pellets through it and they are all good ones like Kodiak Double Gold, RWS Super H Point, and Beeman Crow Magnums.
I got so frustrated with the rifle I gave it away to my buddy. I'm still glad I got it and took a chance but I guess a magnum springer was too much for me to master right now. I'm looking at an RWS 34 Pro Compact next. Anybody with a Trail NP have similar experience? |

| No, but I do have the Trail XL and was having similar group patterns for a while after it first arrived. The groups would be about 2 1/2" across with one 3/8" sized hole on the top left of the group, and another on the bottom right. The trigger took a bit of practice with to keep a loose grip and maintain follow through. Once I put a GRTIII trigger on it though the only reason there are any outliers from the one main hole is from my error, otherwise at 30 yards sub dime sized groups are perfectly attainable when I do my part. Sucks you just gave it away though |
