Benji Trail NP (non-XL) Looking For a Tuner

Hi All,
I'm new to the forums and to the AG world. I'm very mechanically inclined, but at the moment I don't have all the tools/time necessary to do a real tune on this gun, and I'm not sure I'm experienced enough anyways right now.
I bought a refurbished Trail NP 0.22 with all weather stock from the Depot.
I have shot a decent amount of pellets thru it (about 200 id say), but is probably not thru its break in period. I see moments of briliance in accuracy, followed by plenty of "ehh".
I'm looking for someone really good and willing to do a full tune, new trigger or trigger work, scope replacement...ect...
I want to become a better shooter, and I am looking to take the gun out of the equation (as much as possible).
Thanks for any info.

Welcome to the GTA, Z! While you're seeking a tuner, check into a GRT-III trigger (charliedatuna.com) for your gun. It's in the $30 range, is cheaper than a tune, and will give you a whole new perspective on the gun. It's a pretty simple swap, not requiring much disassembly other than removing the action from the stock.
Determine what you expect out of a tune and what you're prepared to pay. Don't forget to include shipping. Done correctly it is labor intensive.
A big part of the accuracy equation is you. Even if you get the you part working perfectly, there is the pellet selection process. Do not underestimate the effect of proper pellets on the accuracy of your gun.
I am not sure I'm qualified to tune a gun. I've done a couple of my own now and each time I do I learn a little more.
Good luck with your gun.

If you want a kind of quick low down of rebuilding the Trail NP .22, you should check out "Rebuilding your Nitro Piston Break Barrel" or something like that on Airgunweb or Youtube by Rick Eutsler Jr. Its a pretty useful video, sure helped me when I got my Trail NP .22.

Thanks guys, the advice is much appreciated! Right now I'm kind of debating exactly how I want to proceed. I'm doing some inquiries on getting something already tuned from MM. The idea is then I can take my time with the Trail NP, do the work myself and learn more about the whole process and the rifle better. Kinda like a project gun with a "Go To" in another rifle. Like I said, not sure which route I'm taking just yet. I'm learning alot about the technology and my abilities (or lack there of), and am pretty aware that the Rifle, Ammo, and the person shooting all attribute to the accuracy.
And thanks for the Welcoming!
