Benjamin Trail LX Hardwood

Hi Bushhunter

I had a Weighraugh HW 97 in .22 cal. and it was beautiful, however it was very heavy about 12 lbs. with scope.

I just sold it and purchased a Benjamin Trail NP Hardwood, .22 cal., 6.6 lbs., and is very nicely made. It comes with a thumbhole stock, 3x9 40mm scope, a sling and the new Nitro Piston system. Le baron sells them for $ 250.00 cad.

Check out the reveiws at Pyramyd Air.

Yes they are available in .22 and also in left hand!!!

750fps for the 22 so PAL required.

There is a new KT version too which is ambi - with a 'thumbhole' stock - looks nice and has the same powerplant as the rest of the 97's

Price is a little over $500 but should be well worth it.

Good luck - SD

The Weihrauch HW50S is very light (about 6.5lbs) and accurate in .177@820fps and .22@650fps. Also has a match grade trigger for under $350.oo.
