Benjamin Prowler 22cal pellet rifle

[@bryanmorgan5077]

I got this rifle at Wal-mart for $98 put a Tasco 3-9X50on it and it is a very accurate with Crosman 14.3 hollow points

I had this it is super powerful is a awesome rifle I sold it and I regret it but I am buying one next month again

[@mikebenoit158]

Another great way to protect the back stop is to fill a card board box with news paper & plywood in between each payer of plywood sheets to slow down the pellet

this is a very nice Benjamin prowler.i bought one a couple of months ago it do wonder's. no if ands about it.thank u for the 🎥

[@wombatbull]

Thank you for the post and your time

[@locdasmoke]

I have the .177 version and it shoots straight through my pellet trap (which stops a .22 pellet from my Hatsan Striker 1000s) and it went half way through my wooden fence behind it. So now basically I can't shoot it until I get a better pellet trap and I've been thinking about getting a .22LR bullet trap for when I use my break barrel guns

[@gonerydin4225]

Good idea. I finally broke down and bought a .22 bullet trap to use in my garage a couple of years ago. You will still need something else for BBs though.

[@locdasmoke]

I actually just made a new pellet trap using old clothing together with a stack of old mail that needed to be shredded in the middle and it's so thick, it has no problem stopping the pellets now and my BB's don't ricochet too bad on it either.

[@senatorjosephmccarthy2720]

locdasmoke + i just found an about 12" x 15" 11 ga. steel plate out back. Put a brick standing on each side, holding the plate to close to 45°. Slid a steel pan of sand/dirt under it. Works great. Power fired rounds might go thru the pan bottom though.

[@fred306801]

About 45 yrs ago my dad got me a BB gun. It was an old used beat up thing. Part of the stock folded down an you pumped it up. Had a slide thing on the side , where you load the BB. Half the time it did not load. And you could not point the gun at a downward angle. Because if you did the BB would roll out the barrel. I remember being about 10 - 15 feet away shooting at cans. IF I were luckly enough to hit one it might knock it over. But it would not go through. And that is what I know about BB guns. After watching a few videos it looks like these BB / Air rifles have come a long way. I may get me one. Damn squirrels are taking over they are in the attic an now taking over my garden.

[@ronin1330]

William Wynn ? Did you get one ? How did it go for the them squirrels?

[@fred306801]

I ran smack dab into life an ran out of money. May take me awhile but I will get one. So in the mean time I got to looking at how to make traps. I have been tinkering on how to make one. Besides the closer it gets to Xmass I am hoping Walmart will expand its line of air guns. An I have been looking at stores near by. The stores here just do not have much to offer. May have to go on line.

[@jonneet2126]

Can you tell us what the quieter airguns you've shot are? Most of us don't get to try out so many airguns as you. Thanks for the videos, and keep up the good work.

[@wombatbull]

+Jon Neet if I would have to pick one particular brand the Gamo ..there are some companies that are almost as quiet but gammas consistently the quietest air rifle live shot. Thank you for your post and your comments have a good day

[@hunters.6894]

I was wondering, since you have this gun did you have a problem with rust on the barrel? I also own one and the barrel is rusted just from leaving it in a gun case inside

[@daviddavids2884]

thanks for posting. you dont say what the shooting distance is. i have this rifle and have high hopes for it. in my case, getting the scope mount optimized has been a minor challenge. my scoped prowler weighs 8.3 lbs. (this rifle has a rimfire-style barrel) the rifle is not broken-in yet, so i cant report on accuracy. cheers

[@gonerydin4225]

He said he was shooting a 20-30 yards in the video.

I just bought one tonight and I could not get the scope rings to line up properly no matter what I did.

Would this rifle be adequate enough to rid off unwanted squirrels, raccoons and possums? My grandparents have a car port and porch that at times these unexpected nuisances appear. My grandfather would rather use a real rifle but him being in his 80's doesn't seem reasonable for him to play with on daily basis unless we are actually deer hunting.

[@Kos1067]

I just got one yesterday i noticed that it has kind of burn smell after i shoot with a small amount of smoke coming from the barrel and chamber is that normal

[@samuelherrera3980]

Kevin Jones it's normal. It's called dieseling. The gun is burning off factory lube. It will stop after running maybe 100 rounds through it

how many shots did it take the prowler to shoot accurate ?

[@jsauerii]

I seriously doubt it ever will. 2 scopes and 300 rounds of various pellets later 6 inch groups at 10 yard is the best this POS will do.

[@senatorjosephmccarthy2720]

Probably a few hundred. Continuing to get better as the shooter gets used to it. Experimenting to find the most accurate pellet for a particular rifle is always necessary. Prowlers are exceptionally accurate and quiet for the price.

[@ronin1330]

@@jsauerii Did your ever get to shoot accurate ? Mine did with the hollow points pellet, 40 50 yards no problem at all. My prowler did take about 600 pellet to shoot accurately though.

@@ronin1330 nope, still a POS. I was going to return it to walmart but got sidetracked and missed the return window. I had it fairly close but took it out to try to nail some pest and didn't touch them. I wasted more money on different types of pellets that still wont hit crap, just throwing extra money on a pig. Should have spent 2-3 times as much on a gun that would actually hit something, that has to be better than spending hundreds of dollars to find a single pellet this pig will hit.

Mines won’t shoot

[@theshootindutchman]

Your stock bolts are probably loose. Remove the two bolts from the front, and the two holding in the trigger guard. Clean ALL of the factory cutting oil/grease we off of the screws with a paper towel and your screwdriver, you sing your fingernail (thumbnail) to get the paper towel deep into the threads. Reassemble using loc-tite blue over the whole screw threads. Tighten the threads down snuggly and do not shoot for at least 24 hours for the loc-tite to dry completely. Do this process with your scope rings and only use rings with a scope stop pin or they WILL slide back upon recoil while shooting! This and only this will make this nice air rifle work properly! Good luck😊👍

Damn yet mine wont zero in better than a dinner plate at 20 yards

[@z4rren]

Thurnis Haley mine too

[@senatorjosephmccarthy2720]

Thurnis Haley + using the "artillery hold" allows pellet rifles to shoot noticably more accurate. If you have a Benjamin Prowler, unless it's a rare one, the problem most likely isn't the rifle. Likely it's the scope, if you're using the one included. Everybody is recommending giving the included scope to a child, and buying a real one. Also, the rifle needs at least 100 rounds thru it, to wear it in enough to settle down in accuracy. And the only reliable way to zero any scope or sights is by using a rest, with the forestock resting where you plan to put your open hand. I've got a Leopers UTG. I do not recomend Pyramid Air because of their deliberately torturous answering machine. Leopers ph number is 734-542-1500. www.leapers.com .

[@thomasv9760]

Thurnis Haley it could be the pellets your firing. Try different brands until you find one you like because they very a lot from one brand to another

[@mcnultypride]

[@chevysilver-ray-dough6328]

You need to shoot piston guns 500-1000 times for break in. After that it will be more accurate

This thing is a pure junk. 2 scopes and 300 rounds of various pellets later 6 inch groups at 10 yard is the best this heavy toy will do. The included scope was actually fine in my case, everyone saying the horrible accuracy was just the scope was just not willing to admit its a horribly inaccurate and loud POS. Considering some will tell you its a crap shoot whether you get one that shoots right or not, and others saying only about 1 in 4 will be accurate I suppose I should have known better than bother with this. I knew it when I got it home and realized it was re-taped and finger prints on the gun that it had already been returned at least once and good old chinamart had yet again put someones returned trash to the shelf to sell as new.

I bought the 22 gauge Benjamin Prowler worst gun I ever bought. I have put three different scopes on it and I bought a nice Bushnell scope in literally have been trying to get zero it in 4 hours and hours. This gun will not zero in it's shots are all over the place. Absolutely regret buying this gun. I had a Remington synthetic Express before this and it was dead accurate every shot. Please do not waste your money I basically own a paperweight now. I wish I would have done my research because if you Google it you will find that everybody is having the same issue of this gun having no accuracy whatsoever

[@augustarellano197]

Matt Theroux First time reading about this issue. Every review I find on this gun is a great one.

[@matttheroux4769]

August Arellano I found about 50 other reviews that had my same problem. One was from a 20 year marine sniper and said this gun is so hard to zero in.

[@matttheroux4769]

August Arellano go to airgunnation and read the post that I put up in the Forum of springers and CO2 rifles and you will see that a lot of people have opinions about this gun not too many positive

[@augustarellano197]

I'll have to check it out. Darn it seems like a good buy

[@matttheroux4769]

August Arellano. I got a lot of good advice from people on airgunnation and I also spoke with the manufacturer at Crosman who owns Benjamin. I found one of the biggest problem is after about 15 to 20 shots the screws come loose in the barrel then has movement in it which explains why my pellets were going all over the place. I had to get some Loctite and take all the screws out put Loctite on them and put them back in I got that advice from a man who owns the prowler and had the same issue. So now I am hoping that it will be much more accurate. I knew there was something strange because I would get it see Road and hit a Target no problem after about 15 or 20 shots all of a sudden I couldn't hit the target anymore. The reason why is the screws were coming loose from the vibration in the barrel was starting to move so if you buy one my suggestion is put Loctite on all the screws
