Re-Chronied the Benji Trail NP .22

[Gene_SC]

After reading an earlier post with numbers exceeding 700 fps with the new NP .22 Ed and I decided to re-test the NP .22 I have on hand. With the Gamo 15.5 gn pellets she was spitting lead out around 640 fps. Today Ed re-tested using Crosman CP's 14.5 pellets and was getting an average of around 760 fps, which is not to bad for this smaller .22 gas ram. We also had a B-26 -2 .22in the shop this morning for a tune and after the tune she was spitting lead out between 750 and 780 fps. This is a bit high for a .22, B-26-2. Many of them come in under 750 fps. So my point is that the Crosman gas ram does not really increase fps but merely gives one a smoother cocking and shot cycle. And of course in many cases a lower overall deviation.

Great job i like these numbers. Those numbers earlier were veryout of the ordinary ,i knew that the problem was gonna be fixed ...jorge

Yep, I am also seeing good numbers with my Trail NP. 780 FPS with  Beeman FTS 14.6 grain pellets.  I love that it needs less than 30 lbs of cocking effort and has a smooth shot cycle. It's very quiet and the weaver rail makes it a winner in my book.

Yep they are good shooters for sure. If you think the Trail NP .22 cocks smoothly and with less effort you should try the Remington NPSS .22.. Even better and about the same fps.

Well Jorge I have not shot that gun very much since I tuned it up and put a new seal in her. Probably 50 shots total.. This evening Ed and I are taking some time off and Ed is gonna shoot the Benji Trail NP .22.. For some reason Ed really like that Trail NP .22... It seems every time I turn around he has it in his hands and is looking it over..  He to loves the new rail system.
