Benj NP/NP2 Best bang for the buck choice

Hello Wolverine shooter, I just got done with my first cup of coffee, hearing and sighting a Covey of California quail come down off the slope off canyon wall down to the spring, they do it most mornings, it's still before sunrise here.

I was thinking this, the NP2 is so popular, and there's so much chatter on the internet about it, and it's "crappy, attorney" trigger, that these kits and triggers are out there.  I don't recall seeing a report where someone has had experience with several np2 guns and has tried both kits and CDT triggers, maybe it's out there I just don't recall seeing it.  I think it would be a cool report and you could do it, if people knew to search for it they could probably find it here.

The best bang for the buck in this line is the one that you purchase for the lowest cost.

These are all Chinese made and quality control is hit or miss.

They are all copies or variations of the Spanish made Gamo air rifles, which many
air gunners have found to be lacking. I own or have owned several Gamo's, and many of the Chinese copies, and haven't "hit a home run" with
any of them.

I highly recommend that you buy a quality German made gun. A Diana 34 is sometimes available for as low as $150. Used Diana's are almost always available used for fair prices, and they are already broken in.

 i started with the NP then moved to the nicer shooting NP2 I 22 cal of course...since then I have moved to the world of PCPs...

Mike, from what I see, the CBR trigger mod is the same as what I did, changing the spring and adjust the trigger screw, except CBR provides it's own trigger blade. Of course details may be different.

A little different idea. If you want a gun that will last a life time Airguns of Arizona has Diana 52's in .177 and .22 on sale for $299. The .25's are still $519.

I have German-made Diana 34, the trigger is great. However, the new Gamo any Grossman are doing pretty good too if you can fix the trigger.

I have PCPs and they are easier to shoot. But I like to use break barrel to practice at home,  because my home range is only 16 yards, too easy for PCPs. Break barrel is more challenging and serve as a physical exercise.
