countryman Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 I would like to add one to my collection but not sure which one to buy. Theoben are nice but they do have some age on them now and people do mess with them. The Benjamin Trail looks good on the reviews but most complain about the heavy Trigger. The BSA GRT seems ok as well. What are you Folks using or have had in the past. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimfireboy Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Theoben sirocco carbine .20, bought it new and it still shoots lovely. I retro fitted a gas ram into a bsa supersport many years ago but it just wasn't nice to shoot. Can't comment on the newer gas rams though but the early theobens are nice to shoot and well engineered and finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 There was a sirocco on gun trader sounded good a week ago or so, always fancied one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldypigeonpopper Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 hello, look at a crossman nitro venom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilts#Dave Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 My Theoben Fenman is still as accurate now as when I bought it new over 15 years ago. Hard to find I imagine in the condition mine is in (been sat in the cabinet for most of its life) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washerboy Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 Fenmens triggers I found truly awful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilts#Dave Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 Never found it a problem, the trigger on my hw100kt is better (opposite end of the spectrum) but I can shoot either well without issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countryman Posted May 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Thanks for replies, triggers do Seem to be a bit of an issue. May be we have been shooting pre charged rifles for to long. Thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Chris Probably, but my early H.E, sirocco's trigger seems fine to me, even being used to precharged guns, I still find the sirocco to be very accurate.

Stonepark Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 They are variable, even between guns from the same manufacturer. I got rid of rough and high spots and polished my BSA Lightning 25 cal and it made the world of difference. My Hatsan (for the pressure on the sear) has a remarkably good trigger as it came (Quattro) but the previous one with the same trigger (which went back due to oversize bore) had quite a bit of creep.
