Benjamin Titan GP Nitro Piston Air Rifle

[ss23]

I would like some opinions on the Benjamin Titan GP Nitro Piston Air Rifle.
Is it accurate? Is it well built?
Pyramyd Air has it on sale for $99.99 in .22 cal.
It comes with a 4x32 scope and mounts.

I had two in .22. One I had to return because there was an unrepairable  problem with the breech mating area, so it leaked from the breech seal no matter how much I shimmed it.
Its replacement, though, was a great rifle. Easy to cock, smooth, 18 ft-lbs, accuracy to hang with the German and UK barreled rifles. I put an aftermarket trigger and metal muzzle brake on it, and it was a great shooter .
The negatives are the stock trigger, blah wood coloring, marginal lockup spring, and plastic brake- all of which can be corrected. Mine had no problems with the OEM breech washers- but some folks opt to install brass replacements.
I sold the gun to a friend a few years ago and had the pleasure to shoot it again several weeks ago. It was still running full power and still matching my Euro-springers in accuracy.
I have had 3 used Crosman springers since, and none have been close to as good as that one, though.
So I hit the lottery with my Titan (after 2 tries), but I don't know if all of them shoot that good.
Have fun!

Thanks Dan, that gives me a good review of the Titan.
I respect a owner's opinion, it seems you gave it a good workout.
Thanks again,
Dennis

Dennis I do not own a Benjamin Titan NP but I do own a Crosman Vantage NP ( Similar to the Titan) and it has been a Very Good Gun for the last 8 years.  I mainly hunt with my guns.

I have a Titan NP .22 and it's one of my favorites. I don't think the plastic muzzle blob really does much but it is still very quiet. Accuracy is great. Stock trigger is decent. Cocking is smooth and lock-up is tight. Accuracy to 50 yards is very good with a consistent hold. The combo scope was thrown on a pile and then mounted a Hammer's Magnum 4-12x40. 5.53 H&N FTT pellets are the most accurate to date.

Thanks Ken,
I believe I'm sold. Between You, Dan and Tom all have good points. I was shocked at the power of one like it on the Hog hunt.
Thanks to all.

The NP2 is a different platform than the NP- more power, different trigger, maybe other differences...

Correct...sorry about that.  senior moment..I guess.        

I think I recall Manny saying that he used to own a Titan and I thought this was his post about it. 
I guess I should do a better job of proof reading and not trying to rely on an aging memory so much.

I took a chance on one of these guns from the "blemished" bin a couple years ago for the same $ and got a good functioning gun, had a spot on the stock which I presumed was the blem. Added a GRT lll, brass pivot washers and a better scope and it continues to be an awesome pest eradication gun out to 35yds with 14gr CP ammo. It only sees action a couple weeks of the year since it stays at my camp, but the red squirrels don't stand a chance, kill one and more show up for the funeral .

Thanks Tom,

"I took a chance on one of these guns from the "blemished" bin a couple years ago"

Never thought about this. A nick or two, reduce price and push merchandise out the door!
If it was only cosmetic blem, it would be no problem.
You never Know.
Thanks Again,

Tom,

"senior moment..I guess."

I am a little older than you and I have them ALL the time!
Still taking a Hog and one that is this large is still amazing to me with a air rifle!
I remember the days of old when my father would kill hogs, and he would tell me, "Don't get the long rifle cartridges that are too strong, get the longs". Killed many a domestic hog with a single shot .22.
I live inside the I-285 interstate that circles around Atlanta, and the wild hogs have multiplied over the years and become quite numerous along the Rivers and main Creeks, I live close to Peachtree Creek and people are always complaining about the hogs tearing up their gardens. We have more large game animals in the City now than we had in the wilds of the country 50-70 years ago.
Thanks Again and take care
Dennis
