In case anyone was wondering, I have a Benjamin Trail NP .22 and it is a beast. After some frustration with getting the scope zeroed, I finally got it dialed in. While the stock trigger is awful, it is acceptable and I've gotten used to it. I recently killed a dove and a blue jay, both heart shots, both free standing, from about thirty yards and the pellets passed straight through. Hope this was helpful!

I just bought the Benjamin Trail NP .22 today and am extremely excited about it! I am used to shooting .223 rifles and higher power for deer so I am a little anxious about using this new weapon to hunt. There are a lot of farms in my area (upstate ny), and they want me to eradicate the pest birds and critters. I usually use a .22 rifle but even with shotshell rounds, it still spooks the horses and random goat. I am open for any and all pointers for use of this weapon, so please send them my way! 
 
lmao_37: this is a link to the exploded parts view for a Trail. The part you are looking for is #10 on the diagram (BT9M22-01-2, sleeve link). I don't remember how much it was, but it think the four dollar flat shipping from Crosman was higher than the retail price. If your gun is fairly new, and within the warranty period, they may send you a new one for free. Either way, call their customer service line and they can assist you in getting a new one.

Not a professional, nor overly experienced in the air gun genre but I purchased my NP2 in .22 around a month ago. It is about 6-700 shots in now and settling down nicely. I bought the package deal on PyramidAir and then upgraded the optics. I have yet to find the pellet it likes but this is only due to time constraints. It has gotten much quieter and the accuracy is improving as well. The stock trigger leaves something to be desired, but after some adjustments, it is "liveable" as earlier stated. I am getting .75" groups out to 40yds with the PolyMags and Crow Magnums. The Crossman Premiers are just a hair larger, with the occasional flyer thrown in for good measure. I have ordered some sample packs now and am hoping to find something it really likes. I am sure that the groups will shrink further as I go along and get used to the gun.
As for hunting, I have taken a few squirrels already out to 30yds, sounds like a freight train hitting them, and a couple crows who were stealing my lab's food. Overall, I have been pleased with the purchase completely. It is not on the same level as some of the pricey rigs I have seen in the forums, but I was not out to buy a pricey rig either. At this point in the game, I am about $400 into it and completely happy. Hope this helps!
