Page 8 - Benjamin Titan GP Reviews

Easier to cock than spring piston air rifles Balances well Very nice stock for the price

Scope that came with the gun....clear in the middle and not around the edges...basically a beginners scope.

Likes JSB's very well. Its lighter than my R9 and shoots very well from 20yds. Trigger is suprisingly good from factory. Dont try hunting large game (raccon size) past 35yds unless you get a better scope and you are good with shot placement. Iv'e got 100 rds through her and she shoots 3/4 inch at 20 yards unrested. Hope this helps you guys

For the price this gun is hard to beat, it handles and shoots well. I have about 75 shots thru it so far and the accuracy is impressive, with the Exact diabolo 8.44gr at 20 yds I can cover 3 shots with a nickel everytime, with the Premier ultra magnum 10.5gr I need to us a quarter, shooting with a monopod.

I changed the scope before I even shot the gun because of what I read about the package one, I had a good 22 4 power and its working well so far. The 1/2 inch creep in the trigger pull takes some getting used to. Will change it out in the near future.

No problems so far, pyramid air great to work with.

I recived this about two weeks ago very nice gun blike it a lot

Trigger but i fixed it very smooth now. Shoots great grops now

Get a Better scope

I have place a real tight group of 4 with in an inches. Really quiet and accurate .177 - Quiet - Looks classy - Good power

- trigger need improvement - Wood stock hole need to be narrower for the thumb holder.

Nice Nitro gun, a good buy, highly recommend for new target practice shooter. - Need to refine the thumb hole size to make it bigger for small hand. - You can get a 3*9-40 on this gun for perfect fit. - Need a smoother trigger, not smooth enough. - Get yourself a couple box of RWS Diabolo Basic .177 Cal, 7.0 Grains, you will absolutely be in love with this rifle.

This is a very quiet gun. I bought it for target and small varmint control. I have only put a dozen shots through it, but it is very accurate and fun to shoot. This is my first break barrel and I really like this action. Finish on stock is excellent. Standard scope works fine, but I will swap it out for sights as most of my varmint shooting is poor light. The Titan GP has great power and I really like it.

I wish it had a sling as it gets heavy. I am a small but strong woman and after awhile, it gets heavy to carry...almost as heavy as my shotgun.

The break barrel action is probably a one armed breeze for guys, but as a woman, even though I am strong, it is a long barrel and it takes me both arms to cock. Not a problem, just a "you oughta know." Also, for women, it is long in the stock so just be aware. Not too long for me but plenty long.

this gun shoots very hard and very quite.

screws for the scope mount should made of be harder steel

the screws to the scope mount are very soft

The accuracy of this rifle is great. 1.25" five shot group at 30 yards using Copperhead Wadcutter pellets. The rifle is very well made and couldn't feel more comfrontable to shoot. I would spend $150 on this rifle even if it had a spring piston, but it is amazing with the nitro piston for $150

The scope isn't the best, but I'm not changing it. It gets the job done well for what I need it to which is shooting within 50 yards. If you're looking to shoot futher, you might want to change it.

This rifle is unbeatable at the price. Do not be detroured by anything if you're looking at purchasing this.

This model is easier to pick up and shoot compared to my Optimus which is more of a Bench gun. The Scope was clear and easy to sight in using a standard + type target. I like he Pistol grip and cheek plate. The rubber Hand Grip at the Muzzle is a Plus Plus for cocking!

I replaced the Scope with a 3x9 and am using it on my Rem .177. The Weight is really extreme and wish the PellGun manufactures would find a way to trim off at least 2lbs on these. I restained the stock darker(which was really easy) to give it a better look for the Hardwood it is made of.

This gun shoots 9 to 14 Gram pellets very well and they are very Hard Hitting.

Great price, good accuracy which should be great once my new scope and trigger upgrade come (CharlieDaTuna GRT-III) i love the thumb hold stock and you can't beat it for the price!

better trigger and scope but you can fix those issues your self!

its a good gun stock but if you put on a good scope and a better trigger (GRT-III from CharlieDaTuna) it is a fantastically amazing rifle! i love it! i have hunted squirrels so far with it and premier hollow points go right through its head at 35 yards easy!

The stock, the looks, the power and the nitro piston technology. I bought this gun several months ago, tried to review it but the review never came up so I will try again. Anyway it took a little bit to break it in. Just earlier today I shot a 1/4" group at the 30 yard mark with Crossman pointed pellets. I would say it is broken in. This was not easy as the trigger takes some getting used to. When I first got it the trigger was real nice, which surprized me from what I have read about Crossman's triggers on such rifles. It seemed the more I shot it the stiffer it got. Strange hu? But now it is really smoothing out. Over all I really like this gun. I can't wait to get it out where I can shoot at longer ranges.

What could that be I wonder? I am satisfied.

Be patient until this gun is broken in. It seemed like it took longer than a steel spring to break in. My compensator got loose and I took it off. I just rubbed on some Birchwood/Casey gun blue, presto, good as new. It didn't do much anyway. Hell as quiet as it is it doesn't really need a compensator. In my humble opinion this rifle is well worth the money. Pyramyd still rules!!!

Accurate, quiet, easy to cock, free scope and rings and it is priced well.

the weight distribution, most of the weight is located in the front of the gun/barrel, it would be nice if it was a little more balanced.

I have large hands and there is plenty of room for me to put my hand through the thumbhole stock. The scope it comes with is decent, the reticle's lines are nice and thin but it would be nice if it was a variable scope to give it some more magnification.

The price is very low for what you get The gun is accurate The gun shoots constantly

Scope Trigger

This gun is by far worth the money to get in the airgun game!!

Nice gun. Mine is .22 caliber. After 2 Gamo's in .177 thought I would try the .22. Finish is fair. Muzzle break is plastic but hey, it's only $149.00. I shot about 200 rounds through it before I really tried to zero it in. The scope that it comes with is junk. I put a 3x9 Tasco on mine. Once that was done I started to zero it in. 15 shots later I had it. Put 3 shots at 45 yards in a dime size spot with 2 holes touching each other. The gun is hold sensitive like most break barrels. Once you get that figured out it shoots great. Hits hard. Goes right through 3/4" pine at 15 yards. Had just finished sighting in when one of the tree rats I bought this thing for came running past me and went up a tree about 20yds. out. 10 feet up he stops to look at me. R.I.P.! One shot just below the ear was all she wrote. Then a crow landed in a tree about 50yds out and 20 feet up. Pellet went all the way through it. 2 shots, 2 kills. I like it!

The trigger of course. Once you adjust it the stock trigger acceptable but not great. I have a GRTIII on one of my Gamo's I will eventually put on it. Wanted to see what it was capable of before I went to the trouble. I would have liked iron sights for night time varmint killing.

I have only shot Benjamin pellets (CPHP) so far. When you can put 3 rounds at 45 yds. in a 1/4" spread, don't fix it if it ain't broke. I've got about 500 rounds through it now and mine has not quited down any as others have said.

Plenty of power and quite accurate if you can get past the trigger. The cocking is smooth and the thumbhole stock is real plus.

The standard scope just cannot handle the torque, a nicer scope is necessary. And even with a nice scope, it takes a lot of time to get used to the extremely long trigger pull.

The Benjamin Titan has so much potential, whether or not you upgrade to a new scope or trigger just practice! practice! practice! Upgrades will reduce frustration.

Everything. This is my first gas spring rifle and I am very satisfied. It is very smooth to cock and shoots as hard as my Beeman 1073. Oh yeah, love that thumb hole stock.

The scope is nice but it seemed to not stay sighted in so I traded it out. It now sports a Bushnell 4x40 mm. Thing is, until the rifle was broken in it didn't help much. So I don't know if the scope is as inadequite as some reviewers say.

As with every spring piston air rifle I have had experience with it must be broken in. And with this one it seems like the break in is longer. I own 2 Beeman 1073's and niether one took more than 75-100 shots (if that) to break in. This one took well over 100. Now about the trigger ... the one on mine is nice. After reading reviews I was a bit surprized at this. Anyway, my groups are down to 3/4'' at 30 yards.I expect them to continue to close up. All in all I am very pleased with this rifle.

This gun is absolutely amazing its a great deal I owned tons of air rifles but non compete to this dead on accurate shooter. I have owned the storm xt, some kind of beeman, the crosman phantom, ruger airhawk, and the benjamin trail. none of those guns are close the benjamin trail is close about the same.. but this gun delivers insane power against birds, squirrels, rabbits and i use it for trapping fox and others. this is a great gun for pesting and planking. i prefer my rifle over a 22 magnum for hunting. i love this gun i cant explain it enough the thumb in the hole stock gives is a confortable feel. the scope is decent for close range..

the trigger is a little bit harder to pull but that isnt so bad. i also bought a leupold scope for a deer rifle but this is just as good. the gun takes a few shots to zero in but other than that i wouldnt change a darn thing on this rifle.

i figured id also say the pyramyd air staff did a wonderful job on selling me this and getting it to my house as fast as they did. Cheers from PA, Mark

Great rifle ,Liked it so much I brought my son one for Christmas,He got it the day after Thanksgiving,So I mounted the scope,and sighted it in,I brought mine,so we target practiced a while.He loves the rifle. Also gave my grandson he first shooting lesson.

Nothing

First shot was loud and that, it quieted down,after about 10 shots I sighted it in and it has stayed that way.Is louder with alloy than lead pellets and shoots higher with the alloy.

Hardwood Stock, ease of cocking

Horrible trigger, stock scope

I want to like this rifle. I have spent hours and hours and shot hundreds of rounds through it trying to get it to zero. I replaced the scope with a 3x9 CenterPoint thinking that would help with my accuracy issues. It did not. I cannot get this rifle to shoot a consistent pattern to save my life. I have tried the artillery hold with sandbags. I have tried multiple different brands of pellets. I have tried tightening the scope down with loctite. I have tried cleaning the barrel. I still cannot get a decent grouping at 30 yards. Also, my gun is not backyard friendly. This gun does not go supersonic but it still has a loud crack when fired (at least mine does and I do not use pba ammo). I wish I would have saved up a little more and went with a better quality rifle. I bought this one based mainly on price point and it had the nitro piston. It also helped that a majority of folks reviewing it seemed to think it was fairly accurate and backyard friendly. I am back to using my daisy 880 wally world special for pest control since I can't hit much with this rifle.

I just got this a few days ago so I will have to report again after I break it in. So far I love it! The stock is so plain-Jane in such a pretty way. Really nice. The thumb hole stock really aids in a steady hold. Very smooth cocking and though I have put less than 100 rounds threw it, I can feel her smoothing out. I made an attempt at sighting it in. So far the groups are 1-2" at 30 yards, but I keep having to tighten the scope down- still part of the breaking in process. I expect good accuracy after breakin. The scope is way better than I have heard. We will see how it holds up. Oh yeah, this thing shoots pretty hard. So far it seems to shoot as hard as my Beeman RS2. Shoots threw 1/2" plywood easy. Again, we will see how it does after another 1-200 rounds.

Can't think of anything right off for the price. I mean, a nitro spring for $150.00 ...

I have read many a bad review about the trigger on the Titan. Either someone got a bad trigger or Benjamin has changed it. The one on mine can only be discribed as sweet- as nice a trigger pull as one could ask for. I am anxious to get this baby broke in so I can see what she can do down range. I will be back. Oh yeah ... PYRAMYD STILL #1!!!!!!

Quality, two stage adjustable trigger, smooth first stage and clean second stage, accurate, quiet, and very powerful and very easy to maintain.

option of a wood or synthetic stock, a picatinny rail on the bottom to put a bipod, laser or flashlight and a picatinny scope rail. Sling swivel studs (this gets heavy after a few hours of hunting)

Out of the break barrels I have this is my favorite. It is heavier than the others but also has better accuracy at long rang and is much quieter. Just so you know, I have found out that after about 250 to 300 shots I need to fun a patch or two through the barrel because it does get to much lead residue build up. After that you only need to shoot 5-10 pellets though to get it lubricated and then its good to go again. I also add 1/2 drop of silicone oil into the piston chamber every 1000 shots or so. I have found this also help with the accuracy and helps maintain power. Now that I have broken it in I have been able to hit a bottle cap 3 out of 5 time at 50 yard and 4 out of 5 at 30 yards. On paper the groups are about 1/4 inch at 30 yards and almost 3/8 inch at 50 yards on a good day. I use crosman premier hollow points 14.3 grain. This WILL take down a full grown crow with a chest shot with one pellet. I also took of the muzzle break because I found that is affected my accuracy. I would buy this again if it broke and I could not get it fixed. Well worth the $150.
