I have the Benjamin trail NP 22 cal. With a cheap crossfire mil for scope. I too limited out from my back patio just watching the garden. Taken lots if squirrels and rabbits and it's very quiet. Have noticed that it's picky about pellets. I bought as many types as I could find and shot lots of groups at paper until I found one that worked. I'll shoot it out to 60 yards confidently and it'll hit the target at 100 but consistency goes to crap

Quieter than a pellet gun. You can buy em at a gun store. Good for about 30 yards. It has no powder only primer. You can shoot em in town. It won't cycle in an auto. You have to manually eject em.

i agree with this right here. only thing is finding them is pretty much impossible.

i bought a $250+ gamo last year and kept it for a few mths... it shot 1400fps and was louder than a real 22 cartridge. had other pellets i bought that were slower and quieter. i ended up trading it for a 30-06 remington.

the problem is it never was accurate shot for shot. one would go high then one low then one left then the next could hit a dime at 25 yds. it was so inconsistent and useless. i would setup targets at 75 yds and i would tear them up but it just didnt hold true. the best pellet gun i ever had was the old benjamin pump. always dead on and never had a problem.

i would NOT ever recommend a gamo spring gun to anyone ever! total junk. i also read review after review about the same problems with them. looked really cool though. theres a good chance that with new scope would have fixed the problem but i wouldnt wanna spend another $200 on an already overpriced toy.

in place of the gamo i bought my son a "cricket" and the colibri primer rounds. best purchase ever. watched my son nail his first bird with it.

also, once you start shooting these high velocity pellet guns, the actual quality of the pellets is KEY to accuracy. those little cheap mismatched pellets will fly everywhere at 1000+ fps and hit nothing but once you find the one that works with your gun keep shooting that exact one. took me a while but that was half the fun.
