Ok, im lookin into getting a new gun for general small game hunting, maybe the occasional possum, or groundhog, and i found 2 guns that i really like, the webley longbow in .22, and the benjamin trail np in .22, i found them both for the same price, and the longbow is used, but is new in the box, and never been fired, so what should i get? If i get the longbow is there anyway to get the power pumped up a little bit, or maybe even get a gas ram put in it? Also what do you think the the max range would be on squirrels and rabbits with the longbow, I see alot of brits taking rabbits at 50 and 60 yards with their 12 foot pound rifles, but im really not that concerned about power, mainly just accuracy and quality, and i know the trail is made in china, and some webley longbows are made in turkey, but this one was made in the UK. Also ifi get the longbow, i have a nice 2x6 leapold scope i have i can put on it, but no mildots, but anyway what would you get?

They're both great rifles, and the scope would fit on the Trail as well. With the Crosman you also get some outstanding service to go with it. The longbow would require a conversion kit and tune to get to the power you're looking for, they can both be very accurate.
Tough choice, Hope this helps.

Yhe Titan is a less fancy version of the Trail and many people, including myself loves them.

If you decide on the Longbow, double check the production year to make sure you are getting a UK made gun and not a Turkey made gun. I'd still go with a Trail or Titan, good shooters with lots of parts, tuning upgrades, and info readily available.

The trail gun comes with a mildot scope and is a better hunting gun its quieter and has more power!

I would go with the trail if those are your only two options. Did you ever look into PCP's?
