Bought a Benjamin Regal NP recently at the local Big5 so I could have something to mess around with between trips to the range w/ my Ruger 10-22. Man...it's so different shooting these things! I've been reading a bunch of stuff here and I'm slowly figuring out how it likes to be shot. I've done some cleaning and a little trigger work, it's now way better than stock. I got some Crosman Competition pellets when I bought the rifle and it seems to like those pretty well. I'm definitely going to try some others and see how they go. I never even put on the supplied scope, but mounted an old eBay 4x32 that I'd originally had on the 10-22 before mounting the UTG 3-9x32 that I have now. I quickly replaced that w/ a Hammers 3-9x32AO that I found on eBay. Seems pretty darn good for $59.99...clear, smooth, 1 piece mount. I think I've got it sorta dialed in at 10yd, now I just need to work on my end of the deal...this thing is really fun, and I look forward to learning a bunch from everyone here.
The dots are 1" on the outside, so these groups are just over .5" c-c.

Ya looks like you are doing good so far. I got a Regal 22 cal from big 5 about 2 months ago, shot it for a few weeks, ordered a few things and swapped a few parts and now it's a Trail more or less. I put the Trail wood stock on and the Trail chamber so I could have the Weaver rail, I ordered a front sling mount also. I replaced the Piston seal and lubed it, shot good before and shoots a little better now.
The Regal is actually a rather nice gun, kind of a mix match of parts between a Trail, Titan and the Remington NPSS in one gun. If it had sling mounts and a Weaver rail it would be close to perfect. I could have gone the other way as others have and got a Trail and put a Summit stock on it.
