Benjamin Trail tuning?

[Deerstalker]

Newbie with a question for a Benjamin Trail on tuning or modifications. Are there any recommended procedures for tuning and/or mods that I should do or is it best to leave the rifle as is? Thanks for your time. Currently shoots a 5 shot group of about 1.4" at 28 yards from a table with a foam rest.

It should shoot better than that. Is it fully broken in? Has the barrel been seasoned? The only mod I know of is the Charlie the Tuna trigger replacement. I haven't done it to mine yet, but my groups are consistently under an inch at 30 yards. (front bag rested, i'm not that good a shot free hand) It took me awhile before I found it's prefered pellet and they turned out to be Crosman Piranhas. I'll add it's only producing 15 fpe at the muzzle in .22

It is my "proven" experience (as well as others), that Crosman - Benjamin rifles will benefit in accuracy from replacing factory plastic barrel pivot washers with brass or bronze and a charliedatuna trigger.

I own a pair of these NP rifles and have done the mods myself after reading many other shooters favorable experiences. I use my .22 rifles for pesting purposes out to 35-40yds. with minute of chipmunk - minute of red squirrel accuracy I also found the larger headsized 5.54 H&N FTT to be a most consistent accurate pellet.
