No.

Other then 33 pounds cocking force, and probably well over 9 pounds weight with a scope & mounts would be WAY more air rifle then I could enjoy shooting.

I have never shot one.

You might check Pyramid's customer reviews on it to see if it would do what you need done.

Or just get it and go for it.

Most of Crosmans stuff is a good value for the money.

I like their customer service and also that they are a domestic company.
 
i have one of the NP XL in .25cal and love it.

its a stout gun....but its well built and fit and finish seem pretty good.

i havent done any bench rest accuracy tests with mine.......but at 100ft, its hits what i point at...can easily keep it within a soda can shooting offhand.
 
The Trail with the blk syn stock is $230 at Pyramid, used to be ~180. wth? Not even worth it imo. Mine is a referb for AGD for $100 delivered so that was worth it. That stock is also very heavy making the gun 8.0lbs w/o scope where the wood one is 6.5lbs.
The new Crusher is ~140, same base gun but diff stock and scope, so is the Regal. Other refurbished models going for $80-90.
The NP2 is what Crosman is pushing now, and the Benj Phoenix is the cheapest one on sale for $170 at AGD.
 
I have one in .22. Nice gun, easy to cock, quiet enough for neighborhood use, pretty accurate with the right pellet.
 
Got a 25, sighting in soon. Have three kinds of pellets. Like the idea of a pellet with the weight of a 22 short and only about 25% slower. Crows, colons, chucks in the garden, look out.
 
I would skip the Benjamin and go for an RWS 34 in your flavor of choice. Much better construction (fit/finish), easily upgradeable, proven platform, excellent trigger and MUCH better resale value (if need). The 34 is an amazing value in a quality gun. I have a 34 Pro Compact and shoots amazing groups at 30yds (dime -> quarter depending on ammo used). I upgraded my spring and did a full re-lube/fluff/buff after about 1000 rds. Now it shoots as good as my buddies $600 gun.

In November 2014 I bought a Benjamin Trail NP2 and it broke my first time shooting it. I had put around 100 .22 pellets down range when it got so it would not cock. I sent it back for a full refund and upgraded to a Diana RWS350 magnum. The scope that came with both were junk. I ordered a nice one that now stays zeroed and this rifle will put pellets in a 1/2" circle all day long or as long as you can cock it. Now the bad, this thing is heavy! You have to use a rest to shoot it. The rifle is 48" long and it seems most of it is the big barrel. The barrel is thicker than most.22 lr. Beautiful rifle and extremely accurate, but for my type shooting, I actually regretted not getting another Benjamin. The Benjamin was much more quiet, a lot lighter and probably about as accurate with a good scope.
