Anyone bought the Crosman Titan from Walmart???

Looks alot like the Trail.  At $150.00 I think I will check my local stores to see if they have them.

Looks like, but it's missing most of the best features of the Trail NP.
It only has a  muzzle brake instead of a fully shrouded barrel.
No sling, or a way to  mount one.
No welded on Weaver scope rail.
Only a  fixed 4x32  power instead of the 3-9 x 40 AO scope that comes with the Trails.

And only about $70.00 to 75.00 less than the Trail NP.

For someone who doesn't care for those features, it looks like it could be a fun gun. It'll be interesting to see if it can use a Tuna trigger, and hear how it compares in weight, cocking effort, loudness, and pellet speeds to the Trail NP .

thanks AIC, That is what I was wondering, what the differences were to warrant the lower price. Will look out for the reviews to see
what the numbers are.

Also no checkering...

I was surprised to see the same "70% less noise" claim on the box of the Titan, considering the barrel is not shrouded.  I've removed the shroud from my XL, and it's considerably louder.  

After I looked at the XL box again, I saw the claim only refers to the noise from the nitro piston vs. a conventional spring, over the entire shot cycle.  In other words, the nitro piston isn't (necessarily) significantly quieter than a spring, but the shot cycle is much shorter, so the accumulative noise it makes can be stated as 70% less than a spring.

The $150 price for the Titan seems nice but you will probably have to replace its 4x32 scope with a decent one and that makes the $70 savings a wash in my book. Also, like Paul said the Titan has no fixed weaver rail or sling mount and sling (free $20 value on the Trail NP).

I caved when I saw the gas.  This was the first .22 gassy ram I had ever seen out in the wild......there it was, waiting for me to buy it and try it!
Glad I did, but it's going back.  The NP is a better machine by far!

Have only put about 50 pellets thu it....scope sucks but - killed 2 blackbirds, 3 sparrows, 1 crow.  I love the .22 pellets and the impact!!!!!!

I noticed that too.  Must be a real good "muzzle break". I'm interested to find out how it compares to the Trail NP's fully shrouded barrel.

why are you returning it?

[CitySniper]

good question.....Seems everyone I've heard of buying these keeps taking them back even though they are shooting good. Except a guy on the yellow who put a Grt trigger in his, those are respectable numbers for a .22

The numbers are inline with that of the i forgot who but their np was shooting like 680-750 fps. so those are good numbers

who cares about all the extra stuff, this a bang for the buck gun.

[longislandhunter]

I'm pretty sure I saw a post on the yellow where the guy said he replaced the trigger with a GRT......

I just bought a Titan this morning and the rifle is a very good gun I put a post on the yellow this morning cause I could't post here this morning, and yes the triggers need to be up graded!

[DaddyBain]

So from what I gather is the Titan is a decent gun on a budget, bang for the buck kinda thing, because if you have to get better rails and a scope and still have less features sounds like what the guy said the NP Trail would be the better choice,  I just got the Remington NPSS a couple weeks ago first in my collection and already want to get a .22 to see how they shoot, I was hoping this new Titan was going to be a possibility, a justifiable reason to spend 150.00 so soon after my other airgun purchase
