Page 9 - Benjamin Titan GP Reviews

I bought this rifle, hoping that somehow I would get a .177 cal. version of my Benjamin Trail NP .22. The Trail is such a joy to shoot, after a trigger change. I was disappointed with the Titan. It's heavier and far less balanced than the Trail NP. It is so hard to cock, that it makes me want to put it down before the next shot. It has the same lousy trigger. And the fit and finish are lower caliber...especially the stock which hardly looked "finished". I like wooden stocks...so I won't get a Gamo or anything with a so called "all weather"...marketing term for cheap plastic...stock. But the Titan stock seems to barely qualify in my book. And it kicks as hard as my old Ruger Air Hawk. One reviewer said it made his hand sore after 100 shots...me, too, with fewer shots. The vibration in the fore stock during the shot is nasty. I have a Norica Storm springer ...no nitro piston. It is as more powerful, quieter and more accurate than the Titan. It never had trigger problems and the fit and finish are superb...a really beautiful rifle. And the price was about the same as the Titan. Between the two, the Norica is easily superior except it is heavy,too.

Throw out these incredibly lousy Crossman triggers. The hard kick, painful vibration and hard cocking...really hard...are unacceptable in a Nitro Piston. Maybe I got a lemon.

Owning the Benjamin Trail NP and the Titan...except for the lousy triggers in both, you wouldn't think they came from the same company. Its about time air rife buyers stopped buying Crossman rifles, when one knows right from the start that unless you put out another $30 or $40 for a new trigger, you are not going to get a good shooting rifle. If my Titan is the rule rather than the exception, find another gun to spend your money on.

Good solid build on the rifle The Centerpoint scope is flat out junk

The Scope,there are better quality $9.00 4x15 that work and overall hold up better. Legendary Crosman trigger is no better,it does not have a two stage trigger and does not shoot at the inflated FPS. Real world numbers are 720 with lead 14.3gr

Much better gun then credited on many airgun forums,overall decent platform for beginners but far from low rent. Get a GTR III trigger,one piece scope mount and most any of the UTG Leaper scopes and you can crack hard hitting 40yd dimes 8/10 after 2-300 rounds the gun settles in.

The nitro piston is excellent technology very smooth and powerful,I like that it doesn't double kick like my r w s 54 actually all around I d take this gun over my54 mostly because of the nitro piston it's such an improvement.

Nothing,for the price it's more than a great deal,I d say it's worth more.

I'd just say when installing scope use Loctite on all of the screws and torque them down tight,and then no prob. I sighted it in with about15-20 shots , then shot pennies at 20 yards it a good gun.

This is a really nice rifle. It's powerful and solid. I use it with the scope that came with it, and after putting a little time into sighting it in, it's accurate. I don't hunt, I just shoot at targets and a rifle like this is probably overkill, but I'm having a lot of fun with it.

Nothing. I like it the way it is. :-)

The first time I shot it I jumped because it was so loud. After half a dozen shots, it became much more quiet. I'm a girl. 5'8" and pretty strong, but still a girl. I find the rifle a little heavy to hold and hard to cock. I can do it, but it takes an effort.

I really like this pellet gun. Definitely an adult gun. For the price, this is a great buy. Takes a bit of tuning for accuracy but it is right on now. I have daughters and boyfirends using it and hitting spininning targets about 1" dia at 25-30yds.

Trigger pull is a bit harsh but can be adjusted. Cocking is not for children.

I would buy this gun again.

Very accurate and very powerful.

I would like a sling mounted on it.

If you change the scope you have to get one that can stand the recoil. I broke 2 cheap ones before I got a 3-9 center point.

nice gun for the price. feels good in the hands and cocking is smooth for a .22

The trigger and the scope

I'v had this rifle about 3 weeks. and i put about 300 rounds thru it. and still the pattern is 1 1/2". maybe that will close in time. but it will never be a tack driver. but if your looking for a rifle for pest and a whole lot of fun this gun will do .

My .22 caliber Benjamin Titan GP is well made and well finished. It is fairly easy to cock and seems to launch pellets with authority from the look of the metal and plastic targets I use for plinking.

The Center Point scope is just enough to get you started shooting. My scope picks up a lot of sun glare on the ocular lens making it hard to see the target. Get a better scope or mount some open sights on it to get more accuracy potential.

I've had my Titan GP for about 7 months now. I pulled a Charlie DaTuna trigger from a Gamo of mine and installed on this Titan GP almost immediately. The gun is worth that trigger. Then just this week, I added the Williams 5D-AG "Diopter" rear sight (from Pyramyd Air) and a Marbles front sight from elsewhere. What an improvement in shooting this is over the standard issue Center Point scope. I finally really love this rifle!

Very good Quality, Weight and Power !

Nothing

shoots quite consistently . break in about 100 shots then shot tight groups. actually does sound quieter then spring air equiv. velocity rifles. feels nicely balanced. getting 3/4 in groups at 50 yds. w/ .22 cal. maybe 1 in 6 will be off an inch or so in a group. I know there's lots of complaints on trigger i actually didnt find it so bad as set at factory. and really had only one in 150 shots go off a bit before i expected during a trigger squeeze.just get used to the first stage travel and youre set.

hate to " jump on the bandwagon" as its said.. but the scope really isn't much to speak of.i replaced that after 50 shots .. while it held sighting in . the view was fair to mid as it goes and just didnt provide a good view of target

give the gun time to settle in ..( break in) before expecting consistant groups..you will get them in a short time ..artillery hold not really so important with the nitro as a springer .( not as hold sensitive).

This is such a sweet piece, especially at the price. Mine is .22, and has such a pleasant firing cycle, that I find myself stopping other activities to go shoot it into an old phone book. It's accurate with several pellets, locks up very solidly---you have to slap the "muzzle brake" to open the action---and just generally feels great to handle and shoot.

What I DID change: That godawful trigger must have been designed by a lawyer who'd just lost a huge case. Loooooonnnnnngggg pull and generally a fine example of what's been wrong with Crosman/Gamo triggers for years. I installed an aftermarket trigger and it was transformed. Also upgraded the scope, though the included 4-power one was usable. The rifle deserves better.

Change the trigger. Shoot. Enjoy!

This is a very nice gun . Very solid stock. Not the the fastest or most powerful but very nice at this price.

The scope is crappy but put a center point on it and it is fantastic

Be prepared to have 200 to 250 bucks in it by the time you are done but it will be worth it

This is a hard hitting, well made rifle for the money spent. The thumb hole stock gives it a neat look and it is quite accurate after upgrading the trigger and scope.

The stock trigger needs a lot of improvement and the scope isn't anything to talk about.

The trigger pull is far too heavy and has way too much creep to come anywhere near reaching the accuracy potential of this rifle. It is very difficult to attain decent groups at long distances due to he pull off factor with the stock trigger. If you are willing to upgrade the trigger and scope the gun becomes a real tack driver.

This is no kid's toy. Lots of power!. Stock is comfortable. Easy to cock for a break over.

I would add a set of sling swivels. Better trigger. Picatiny rail for scope mounting and better scope.

I swapped out the scope with a leapers bug buster 3x9 cqb scope and added a picatiny rail to mount the scope. I also added a picatiny rail to the bottom of the rifle so I could use a bipod. I love this little air rifle. When you zap a tree rat you get a good "Thud" sound when you miss and hit the tree you get a "snap" sound. My rifle prefers the crossman premier hollow points. They fit perfect into the chamber while the domed premiers fit a bit to tight. I also like the JSB heavy pellets. Have fired over 2000 rounds through mine and other than adding a couple drops of crossman silicon oil to the chamber and cleaning no problems.

This is an inexpensive Nitro Piston air rifle that gets you shooting and hunting without the worry of cold weather or spring tension. The thumb-hole stock feels great and provides more stability with every shot. It is a great hunting rifle.

Better quality trigger would definitely make this gun perform superbly better.

The Scope it comes with should be replaced with something more powerful since this gun can deliver much more power and accuracy. The trigger should be either tuned or a new one should be purchased.

this is an awesome rifle for hunting, i've shot birds,squirrils and jackrabits without efford, good rifle for your money!HAPPY HUNTING!!

this rifle would be the complete package if it had iron sights since the scope is of low quality,other than that is great

this is not a backyard rifle!! i cannot express that enough, it says its quiet but i find it a little loud for plinking(i own the .22) deffenitely for woods or in big open spaces

Exceptional value. Best .22 cal break barrel I've ever owned. Accurate, easy to use, and looks really great. Essentially no recoil.

Gets heavy after a while; sling swivels would be nice.

trigger pull is adjustable. Factory specs are a bit long and slow. Included 4x scope is marginal. I like a variable scope 3-6-9x with a wider field of view. This will likely become your favorite air rifle.

i like this gun very much

its bit heavy once you get use to it its fine gun

I shot birds out of the tree

Gave this gun as Christmas present to my son in law,he thinks it's super cool,what with the thumb hole,and the sleek looks. It accuracy is impressive cal.22. I don't think it has all the power they advertise, got to get it chrony. But it can smack a quarter at 25 yard ,and it's .22

The gun is HEAVY.

Nitro pistons are a lot more expensive to change than springs. You got the benefit of not having to keep it unloaded while you hunt for fear of spring fatigue, and they say cold temp don't affect them. I do know they make less noise than a springer. Most gas pistons are very expensive this one is not?

KNOCK DOWN POWER!! Killing power is awesome out to around 70 or 80 yds. on squirel and cottontails. Accuracy is 2 in. 60 yds.

There is something wrong. Accuracy is great one day, all over the place the next. I"ve changed scopes, used loctite, and still after about 400 or 500 rounds, point of impact drops about 3.5 in.

Anyone who might be able to help, I would appreciate any suggestions.
