Page 6 - Benjamin Titan GP Reviews

The overall fit of the rifle, for the price a great value. Like the pistol grip style stock. Very pleased with my purchase. Very hard to grade accuracy with the trigger as is, but it seems to group quite well.

The trigger, mine is smooth put feels like you pull it for about an inch before let off. I plan on changing that. The scope is usable but will be changed out.

I like the stock.

Why do they make a scope of this quality even? The trigger sucks. They couldn't use a little more metal and make a metal trigger guard? Get rid of the stupid muzzle thingy.

I changed the scope immediately. Removed the muzzle thingy. Installed a Charlie Da Tuna trigger. I can now shoot 3/4 inch groups using Diablo 18.13 g dome pellets at 25 yards. It also looks like a very high quality gun now. Granted, I put another $150 into the gun to make it this way.

Just about everything about this gun. Nice shape and weight, easy enough to cock, very accurate with a variety of pellets. Mine is a .22 and was able to buy from a dealer without the scope as a customer liked and purchased it. Paid him $100 for the boxed gun with papers and no scope! I consider this a great deal!! I probably would not have used that scope any way!

The trigger. And I did! Put a CDT gold trigger on it! Fantastic! Also for some reason, with lead pellets in the "standard" 14.3 grain weight the gun seems to shoot slow. Mine gives about 725 fps with 14.3 gr crosman pellets in the various shapes. And the best I can do is 925 fps with the very lightest allow pellets made. I think I might have gotten one very light and inaccurate lead pellet to hit the 800 fps mark, but for the pellets you might uses in real life, not happening.

I would love for the manufacturers to test their guns with the pellets most people are likely to use. Like maybe 14.3 grain crosman pellets for this gun. And also STATE which pellet was used in the velocity tests! In fact, for .22 rifles I would like to see them standardize on 14.3 grain pellets for their lead pellet tests as these are available almost any where pellets are sold! And for .177 guns, CHP'S, which I believe weigh in at 7.9 grains and are available every where. That said, this is a great gun and I kept it and shoot it regularly! It has way more power and accuracy than is needed to dispatch rabbits and squirrels out to reasonable ranges. Which means the maximum range you can hit one in the head every time!

Price,power,accuracy,weight, built in stop pin on rear scope mount and matching hole in dovetail.

trigger and option to buy without scope

Excellent deal, I put 1000s of rounds through mine and still shoots well. The trigger is adjustable, mine has worked in to the point that it has a long trigger pull then lets off just before it fires, at that point it is a crisp, hair trigger.I "preset" it that way when sitting in the squirrel woods waiting for game to come along. Same for target, it is annoying as a shot sometimes goes off before it "presets", from what Ive read in the other reviews it appears to be a fluke to my benefit. My Trail NP trigger is far from this one and a GDT III switchover is more than likely. As it stands the trigger on my particular Titan GP works fine. Shoots premiers and HN cro-mags well.

It is easy to take apart. Pyramid Air is easy to deal with as well.

Quality Control, trigger of course, better scope and rings.

I cleaned the barrel with Simple Green and that caused the alive jam to not function, resulting in a locked barrel. I sent the first one back, which was very quick and easy. The replacement arrived in good time. Unfortunately the same thing happened. So this time I decided to void the warranty instead. After some cleaning, deburring, and lubricating it functions like it is supposed to. So I mounted the scope. 8" left and 10" low from POI at 15'. Hopefully the scope lasts long enough to break the barrel in. Then I will have to order some rings for the UTG scope I have for it. Probably re-crown the muzzle because it has a nick in it and put in some brass bushings for the barrel pivot. Then if it seems to stay accurate, I will add the Golden Trigger. These things have nothing to do with Pyramid Air of course and more to do with bad quality control in China in my opinion.

Great weapon. Very accurate out of the box.

Nothing.

Got it in .177 caliber. Very quiet. Long trigger pull, but not hard to get used to.

This gun in .22 cal was exactly what I have come to expect from a Benjamin product. well designed, well made, and properly packaged. The unit I received has a beautiful blonde finish to the hardwood stock, looks great in the cabinet next to the other guns. lighter and more agile than a typical springer it is also easier to cock. I put over 1000 rounds through it now and find it to be very accurate with the Benjamin 14.3 pellets. At 50yds from a bench this gun is producing quarter size groupings with few flyers to speak of.

As with most(not all) package deals the scope didn't match the ability of this rifles superior accuracy. I installed a Tech Force 3-9x32 AO scope and the difference was day and night. I do like the design of the safety located in front of the trigger but its position while engaged is too close to the trigger. It becomes a hassle to operate like that. A safety that isn't easy as pie to operate won't get used. It was easy to give the safety a slight bend and now it is quick, easy and totally effective to operate. Yes, I would like to see a better trigger group in this gun but all in all the one provided is not nearly as bad as some reviews would have you think and since it is adjustable, it is more than adequate for this gun.

measured groupings less than 1 inch at 50yds. Average 957fps using Benjamin 14.3 round nose. With the scope situation upgraded like I have it, I can shoot field targets with great success out to 100 yds. Oh yeah and did I happen to mention that the price of this quality air gun is more than reasonable. As a matter of fact I think it's a down right bargain. PS. Thanks for the help and the gun Pyramyd Air.

So far I love this gun. I got the Trail GP in .22. Only have about 100 shots but it is already showing great promise, shoots the Benjamin 14.3gr very well. Cocks easier than a springer, it is a little noisy. Stock is GREAT, fits me very well, looks great too.

The trigger is not as bad as many complain about, it is VERY heavy, I will try and adjust it. The scope is crap, will be ordering a Hawke as soon as they are back in stock. Warning!!! The rails on this gun is 11mm, NOT 3/8, the rings which came with mine did not fit the rail perfect, I had to just crankem down. They did hold solid though...

I did not buy this rifle from Pyramid air, just bought it for a last minute trip to the lake shooting turtles, the only benefit was The first one I bought had a BUTT UGLY light colored stock, so I took it back and looked at the other three this store had and picked the one with the prettiest wood :-)

I like this air rifle, as far as accuracy the scope needed to be sighted in after mounting. it's a bit louder than I expected but can't be beat for the price.

The color of the stock is light, would have like a darker work.

Great stock, quiet, well built, but...

Mine was not that accurate. Out of 10 different pellets best group I could get was around 2 inches at 20 yards. Pyramyd Air recommended me sending back in exchange for RWS 34. All I can say is wow!! Pyramyd Air is the best!!

It is a well built air rifle. Couldn't ask for a better stock.

Easy to cock (not hard to cock at all). Would be a great rifle for young shooters. My NP spits out rounds nicely and it hits hard for a .22 breach barrel. This should be anyone's go-to air rifle. The pellet drop is not bad at all. I can imagine taking out small game with this at 50 yards, which is very nice. It knocks down my game just fine at 30 yards. That's comfortable shooting and plinking practice .22 power. :)

Not much. It's perfect out of the box, unless you want to dress it. It's a Benjamin; that in itself speaks for itself. Any avid shooter will make their own changes. Not a thing. Goldy-lox' Benjamin is just right. :)

Although made is China, and I'm an Alaskan, it's the company's specs but just made and or assembled in China. Meaning, where it's made probably compensates for it's price. Nice rifle, especially for a great price. GET either the NP (.22) or GP (.177) for those young shooters, so get them a classy breach barrel that will teach them how to shoot: start them on the Titan.

Crosman customer service is better than expected. A+++ Parts interchange with many other models. I complained about a problem and they even sent me parts from a different model ! Pretty wood under the muddy finish. After rebuilding this gun the accuracy rivals my .22 lr inside 20 yds. Preferred pellets are Meisterkugelns, SuperMags, Crow Magnums and Superdomes, pellets around 8-9 grains except the Exact RS go figure. NOT liked JSB Heavies, CPUM, or anything else over 10grn Will update with chrony numbers eventually. From sea level even ! My neighbors thought it was a nail gun, from the pneumatic sound plus a plywood backstop sounding out the pellet strike. They were keen to see what I'm building. Now with the backstop wrapped in carpet its quieter than a staple gun with none of the ring of untuned springers. It's nearly impossible to move air without some sound, ask your ceiling fan. An exaggerated spitting sound is the best example I can give. Keep in mind that TUNED spring guns are nearly the same volume as the titan. Tar and some beer can. Done.

LOL how about which gun I bought ? I wouldnt buy this gun again. Instead maybe a Hatsan 95, Diana 34, xisco something or maybe a QB78 deluxe with the 9oz tank. IF I did purchase want a Titan then refurb is the way to go. Dovetails are, no have been, obsolete. Only weaver type mounts should be used in the future and Crosman KNOWS this scope mounting system is problematic hence the Trail and Nitro Venom. Lose the pigmented polyurethane that hides the wood. Put the seal in without cutting it. Non diesel lube, moly and silicone

This gun needed a complete rebuild right outta da box and I tried to give some idea of time involved to identify problems and locate suitable parts. Crosman WILL NOT RECOMMEND PARTS SO YOU MUST FIND THE PROPER PART NUMBER. Still, things like barrel pivot washers must be sourced elsewhere. It took six stores ! Seal butchered and coated with tar. Not tuning tar but leftover low grade industrial lube or crude oil. Debur, replace seal, clean. 3hrs Scope broke. X crosshairs. Sheared scope stop screw OFF. Endless scope slide until tube changed. 14 remounts. Piston out of round 0.050 and seal nipple FAR out of center causing destruction of compression tube. Replaced with part # BT9M22-00-02 Trued piston in lathe, New seal. 5hrs Alive jam (barrel lock) poorly machined and binding causing poor lockup. 1hr Plastic washers on either side of barrel wore out reducing accuracy. Replaced with METAL WASHERS. 3hrs Internal trigger parts rough enough to pass as "non slip surface" 4hrs Guys this is the short list and I'm led to believe the majority of Chinese guns, or guns under $250 nothing more than a rifle parts kit. All told it took 2 months to make is gun shoot right. If I weren't both mechanical and cavalier about disassembly then forget about it. Sure some might say I got a bad one but every single gun has plastic washers. Did they get the good ones ? Did they get the only deburred tube? The only.gun that had decent lube ? Was my piston the only one turned on that lathe?

I like the accuracy of this air gun and it is very quiet.

the stock is a little short for me other than that I'm satisfied

this gun packs a huge punch. the fit and finish is nice,the accuracy is there out to 30yrds but is touchy after that.

very hard to keep a scope from moving. we have tried a few different tricks and nothing solid yet

tank of a gun but can't seem to settle the recoil down. short range is great,long range is not there. short-30yrds or less long-35yrds&UP my trailnp .177 will shoot circles around this 22titan but for all out destruction,the titan 22 is hard to beat

Light weight. Good looking. Decent feeling stock. Smooth cocking. Not too loud.

Trigger...oh yeah!!! Not the worst but pretty bad and makes this nice light rifle WAY more difficult to shoot. Scope....pretty sad, optically...Marginally useful...mostly short range. Still pretty amazing overall for the price.

Pretty intense firing cycle. Good thing scope mounts come with recoil stops. Seems decently accurate but trigger makes it difficult to shoot finely so can't judge it well until I do something about that. Would recommend buying but especially if there is a trigger fix.

Pistol grip. NP. Wood stock finish (looks better than my Benjamin Maurader!)

Trigger-it has an annoying stiff and LONG second stage, even with the adj. dialed in all way. Scope is OK, but should be better. Safety is too close to the real trigger when on safe. Should have more space between the 2.

Watch the Pyramyd video on how to hold and cock a break-barrel rifle. This is my 1st BBarrel, and when I do it like the video, it is easier, and seems to make more sense. There's plenty of trigger knowledge out there (use Google). I've adjusted mine now where the 2nd stage is much shorter. This will be a big plus. Use caution when making alterations/ adjustments. Make sure the gun cocks properly, and with the barrel pointed in a safe direction, be sure to smack the butt to make sure it does not misfire (simulate dropping the rifle).

Fast, accurate, wood stock, great gun for the money.

Better trigger, the stock trigger is ok but could be much better. They can keep the scope.

If you do a trigger job and get a real scope it is a great gun.

For the money this is a great rifle, the nitro piston is quiet and it is accurate, light.

Scope is not the best and a GRT-3 trigger will solve the trigger issues.

Benjamin sells all of the parts for there products with great customer service.

Very impressed with everything. I got this in .22 caliber. The nitro piston is super quiet after you get about 100 shots through a new gun. I had my concerns with a $150 gun, but after putting a couple hundred pellets through it, I have no complaints. You will be impressed with the finish and weight of this item, especially for the price point. Performance is very impressive. You can shoot quarter size groups at 20-40 yards all day.

I would not change anything about this for the price. The scope isn't anything amazing but it comes free with the gun. This scope will not hinder most beginner or novice shooters. Spending money on equipment doesn't make you a better shooter, only PRACTICE will. If you are target shooting out to, lets say 100 yards, a better scope would be helpful, but let's remember this is a $150 gun.

USE THE ARTILLERY HOLD! I would bet that most people that are not getting consistent groups are probably not allowing the scope to settle for a few shots after making any adjustments. The 'muzzle brake' is just a larger plastic sleeve on the end of the barrel. It does absolutely nothing for sound suppression. It does make it much easier to cock the gun though, so I like having it on there. If you want something that will give you endless fun for $150, this is the gun for you.

Very accurate, great stock, easy to cock and did I say VERY ACCURATE.

Either not include a scope and rings or include ones that are useful. Scope was fuzzy about 1/3 of the way from outside edges. I do understand you will not get a 200.00 scope on a 150.00 rifle but the supplied scope does not do these rifles justice. Would be nice if you could get some type of sling mounts as an accessory. I e-mailed and they said they didn't have any for the Titan.

Both my Titan .177 and .22 were accurate, right out of the box. Might want to get good allen head bolts for two side and one bottom stock bolts. Use Loctite (blue)as bolts will work loose.
