Got mine brand new for 99 bucks at Wally World... got the scope centered real quick, VERY powerful. Love these break barrels.
I’ve only put one round through it and have had it filled for 24 hours. czcams.com/users/postUgkxuuTOBP7pzC6RDNNaxoSjjV4-7jpsUjXX No audible or visible leaks so far. It’s definitely loud. I’m impressed with the look, and I have to say that I’ve been avoiding this rifle because of the looks. It feels great to hold and it’s light enough to carry. It looks much different in person. I chose to purchase this one because it checked all the boxes for what I intend for it, minus the look. I’m very happy with this air rifle
I bought one of these & it was the best $99 I've spent in awhile! Very happy with my new Benjamin Prowler .22 pellet gun. Mine came with a silenced barrel. You barely here the air come out but you damn sure hear the power behind the pellet as it rips through whatever I'm shooting at! Very impressive air rifle for $99!!! Worth every penny!!! Crossman Piranha .22 pellets are true rippers! I've had several cow birds get literally ripped in two pieces! This air rifle is all I need on the ranch for the smaller critters.
I don't want to shoot my 30-06 to kill squirrels. I did hit one with my 45ACP recently. I'm still looking for the squirrel!
yea man its great! thanks for watching. hope my review helped. cheers!
@@ppdangler I went to the store to only look at .22 pellet guns. I have several CO2 BB pistols & 177 rifles. I was just gonna look. They had 3 rifles on the shelf. Not including the pink Daisy air guns!
There was a Ruger .22, Benjamin Prowler .22 & a 10X from Gamo in 177. The Ruger had a wood stock & a weeny little barrel for a
22. The 10X was in 177. The Prowler felt like a real gun. It also had a silenced barrel! Box said it shoots 75% quieter than the standard barrel. WOW! They got it right with this silenced barrel!
Its heavier than my everyday shooter, my Remington LR rim fire .22. I liked the Prowler.
I really like the quiet "Thunk" then you here the pellet hitting in the back ground after ripping a bird in half! I came home with one of the BEST break barrel .22 air rifles I've ever owned! The Benjamin Prowler!
You should play around with some of the fully automatic BB guns. The only thing I don't like about the fully autos, 20 BB's takes 2 seconds to shoot!
You BETTER have some extra magazines & TONS of CO2!
I live in the middle of my family's 7K acre ranch in the Texas Hill Country. My shooting area is my 1000 square ft covered back porch. I can shoot anywhere I point my guns! No neighbors & lots of nuisance critters as targets. I sit out on the back porch with:
The new .22 Prowler,
A 10 year old 177 pellet rifle,
A replica Smith & Wesson M&P CO2 BB pistol.
A Remington rim fire .22 rifle,
A Remington model 700 in .243,
(For hogs & coyotes. We used to kill 80 to 100 coyotes a year out here. I think they got the message because I rarely see or hear them now days)
and finally,
My Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm or 45ACP...
I got into BB & pellet guns when I lived in the big city. You need a shooting range for big guns. I could shoot bb's & pellets in my city homes back yard. It was in Bexar County TX, not in the actual city...
Doesn't matter now, I can shoot whatever & whenever I want on the ranch. In my underwear if I want!
I love being retired & living in the middle of nowhere in my native State. I have two older daughters & they both have their own guns... I love having gun girls!!! I have a video on my channel of my oldest daughters first time to shoot a pistol at the range! She was hooked after that range visit!!!
How quite is it compared to a gamo big cat
I just bought this gun last night and I cant believe the quality of this gun!its really accurate.i put the bariska optic on it..I've got 300.00 pellet guns that dont perform like this.my gamos feel like a toy compared to this..Amazing gun!
Great review. Love the gun. Sighting it in from 15 yard using my open shed door with a target. Well my wife was not happy when I shut the door as the .22 went clean through the 3/4 inch pine breadboard door. Now that is impressive. For under 100 Bucks.
Hahahah oops. It happens man. Yea for under 100 this rifle kicks ass. Thanks for watching man please sub if u havnt already cheers
Nice rifle and I also like my center point scopes. Thanks for sharing.
I just returned my wildcat gamo and got a prowler!!!! Love it..
nice man there awesome!!! thanks for watching, subscribe!
Bought mine at Walmart walk in $104 for Prowler, and $83 for the Crosman F4. Have the same caliber as you.
I just picked up the newest version with the full shroud SBD suppressor. I'm not exactly sure what version of the nitro piston it has, but it spits out lead pretty hard.
It seems a bit loud, definitely louder than your gun, but I haven't shot it enough to break it in... I'm hoping it gets a little more muffled.
The gun feels like it's way more expensive than $100 new (refurbs are a no brainier)
yea its awesome, thanks for watching.
Just bought mine after my dog's had a encounter with a water moccasin. I took it out of the box, slapped the scope on and man...after about 10 shots I was killing 240z Heineken tall boy's with ease at 30 yards. For all those that complain about the scope, all I can say is I had no issues with this scope. Maybe because of my Army marksmanship day's. It's a great gun and won't dent your wallet.
awesome man! glad you like it. yea i had no issues with my scopes either. any of them lol. if there mounted correctly then they should hold zero, unless you drop it from like 10 feet lol. anyway thanks again man! please sub if you havnt already
I got this for $25 at walmart because it was on sale!!!
Sweet deal
Love this air rifle, like others said, about $100 at Walmart. I've only shot the Crossman hollow points and the Piranha ammo through it, but the velocity and damage of the Piranha is much better, if you're using it for varmints and the like ( or anything really to be honest) I wouldn't bother with the hollow point, and just stick to the Piranha if you can. I see some complaints about the Center Point scope, but i feel like the MAXIMUM ethical kill range is about 50 yards, and even then you would need to be a competent shot; my scope seems fine at this distance and I have no trouble hitting bullseye with it. Wouldn't attempt a 50 yard shot on anything living with the hollow points though, they drop visibly through the scope a few feet at that distance. The rifle weight is heavy enough for good dampening, and light enough to feel like a pellet gun or .22. I did have to cock it for my 12 year old nephew though. All around great pellet rifle, if you're thinking about it I recommend buying it. Also the length of pull is a bit short, and I'm not at all a big guy.
The safety is located in such a way to make this gun suitable for both lefthanded and righthanded shooters.
Walmart sells the Benjamin Prowler for $98
nice. good deal. id still look online for refurbished one from crossman. save urself $40. thanks for watching man!
Yep. I just bought one
I got mine from wallmart and it was shit
@@ppdangler where did you purchase ?
ebay refurbished. its aweomse. thanks for watching
When mounting a scope on a breakbarrel, because of the sharp, but not long, recoil, mount a third scope mount lower section behind the back scope mount. Sometimes the anchor bolt thru that back (second from front) mount will shear and hold nothing. I've had the third mount hold without problems.
Do not tighten the scope mount top caps past medium torque, or your scope will be bent. Those caps don't losen as the mounts do.
If you weigh yours on an accurate scale, you'll see the Prowler with the scope weighs close to 8.5 pounds. Pyramid Air lists it at 8.7.
Have you tried the Winchester 1100s and the ruger impact? They both are badass rifles.
Great video) Where did you both guns?
Prowler is a great little plinker.
Mine likes domes over hollow points.
yea i like it. thanks for watching
Just got mine. Saw a video where they cleaned it first ( Gammo) very dirty brand new. Ever check for that on your guns?
Do they make that in a multi-shot version
Your prowler was 6.4 lb? Mine weighed 8 flat out of the box with the factory CP scope on it. Edit: Just re-weighed it to be sure I wasn't mistaken, and it is 8lb flat, weighing almost as much as my remington 700.
I've had this rifle for three years now. I shoot data and cottonmouth snakes with it. All brain shots. Kept the original scope on it for a year with no problems, I replaced it with a large red dot as I rarely shoot last 20 yards. This gun loves anything 14.3 grains. Shoots minute of snake brain groups out to 20 allways. Has been 100% reliable. Not the best trigger but can perform well with practice. I've never cleaned the boreand it doesn't seem to care. The finish still looks good. It was well worth the 98 bucks.
No I don't shoot data, I typed rats. My spellcheck is a snowflake.
Lol I just bought today because on July 4th when I let my dog's out they encountered a water moccasin. My Red pit didn't see him and he got hit 2xs, his brother a chow mix heard the commotion and went into action although he got hit as well in the fatty part of his chest he dazed him enough and I finished him with a hoe. Ready for them now....just zeroed it tonight, not bad. Killed 2 24oz Heineken tall boys....lol
for a cheep scope like that it dosnt matter how tight you tighten it down. but keep in mind when playing with the more high dollar scopes. you do not wanna tighten it to much you can damage the scope rings and dovetail.
its the same as my crosman phantom 22..identical gun..absolute fun to shoot..max fun
yea its awesome one of my favorite break barrel rifles, thanks for watching man!
I have the crosman phantom .22 too. Its a really nice accurate gun
Also center point is actually a high end scope I have a 350$ one that’s top notch 350!yard optic beautiful unit
yea i didnt mean to bash on center point. i know they make higher end stuff im just not sure these are it. but again they are holding up and keeping zero. the key is just mounting it correctly, which from the sounds of it you should have no problem
ppdangler ohh bro your not bashing it by any means lol those scopes are just give seats with the rifle they do that so you up grade cause look those rifles are point on like I said befor I am in no position to give you advice the channel is great brother won’t take anymore of your time I love when you get these rifles in
I bought the 4-16 power $100 one from walmart and the top turret fell right off so now it's on the pellet gun.
Just got it for$25 at Walmart. Hopefully it shoots well.
What's good man. Can you review the daisy powerline 5501 please
Just got one, also picked up a box of pellets. Went to Walmart thinking they would have more of a selection, WRONG all they had were the same brand I had just bought and it was the last package they had. When I opened the box there was NO scope mounts. I drove 50 miles to get this rifle, one way. This is starting to sound like a bad Omen.
AMAZING and AFFORDABLE!!!
I bought mine for 120 bucks new from walmart about 4/5 years ago
Nice video. I like your style.
Good review , just convince me to buy one . Like and subscribe ! Keep the video coming.
you wont regret it. its awesome. thanks for watching!
I bought mine at Walmart pack come with scope light analyzer I change the scope I hate that scope I put a scope on Maya BB gun pump
What size dovetail? I want to get a red dot sight for this, is it regular dovetail or the smaller one?
Lovely rifle boi
Can i tell me some info on how to level a scope
What’s the website you said you can buy one refurbished?
I have a question what is the best co2 blow back pistol? And love the vids
David Villalpando
Umarex sa10 is definitely the best ! Check it out
You can pick is gun up by new at walmart for 104.99
Hi I just bought it and I’m not sure how to put the scope on
Nice group
I have the .177 model can the barrel be changed to .22
Great video, can you give me the link to where you buy these refurbished?
i find them on ebay. here is one: www.ebay.com/itm/Benjamin-Prowler-Nitro-Piston-22-cal-Air-Rifle-Combo-Refurb/193028667153?hash=item2cf167b711:g:Kt4AAOSw6Ilcff28
Great video. You're an excellent communicator. I just bought a Prowler. Manual says to zero the scope from 15 yards. Mine shoots high and to the left. I tried adjusting but no difference. Any suggestions ? Thanks, Frank
Tap on the scope turrets a few times with a piece of wood or rubber hammer. Download chairgun and input your velocity with the most accurate pellets. Mine is sighted at 9 yds for 1 in kill zone out to 28 yds using JSB exact heavy 18 gr.
@@justincifreo4909 Thank you.
I need one refurbished, where can l get it, Benjamin type .22
Nice rifle, I bougt it for my gf and I got a diana ar8 for me.
just gt one today, havent really gotten the chance to target shoot with it, but did fire 2 different kinds of pellets into a case of office paper i have and got about a half inch of penetration. fairlt decent considering the paper is like wood. not yet put on the scope. the one question i have is there any after market open sights that can be snapped on or installed to this rifle?
hey not sure about the sights. still have mine. its great. accurate and hits hard, thanks for watching!!
Hay that prowler is very under rated I've got the same one and I've taken out that cheap plastic tip and put a real silencer and a better scope upgraded the trigger pull it's an awesome gun and it has some zip to it
nice man! ya it really is a great rifle. and the price refurbished is awesome. thanks for watching man.
@@ppdangler yeah bro keep doing videos on these types of guns there ain't to many if them
Oh yeah man, it's a sleeper for sure. Has a lot of solidity to it. I got a Tasco 3x9x40 and can hit quarter size groups at 50 yard groups using Crosman domed premier pelletts
Best rifle for a hundred bucks
Where can I find the silencer so I can replace mine as well.
mine doesn't pull down as easy as that one nice video an gun btw😎
Done!
Picked one up recently .22 and it's very nice for the money. Took no time to mount scope and adjust eye relief. Dialed it in at 25 yds quickly. Can cover 5 shot groups with a quarter. Its damn accurate. That's using Crosman hp's. Definately hits hard at reasonable distances. I've mercd a few squirrels with it. Knocks their dick in the dirt.
Benjamin prowler 25 Walmart Speciai $68 With the scop
Anybody notice what looks like some kind of a pipe right behind the target?
Hello esa pesa o es liviana?
I bought one two months ago. Having a blast with it. BUT it's not easy to cock, the trigger is one of the worst I've used, super long creep. The scope didn't last more than 200 rounds. And for accuracy, this thing requires perfect technic to get beer can groups at 25 yards.
hmm i had really good luck with it. ill try and get some target video up. mine holds really decent groups with artillery hold. with stock scope. the barrels do have a break in period after couple hundred rounds try cleaning it groups should tighten up a little. thanks for watching man. appreciate it, subscribe ill get those videos up
Jim Morten the trigger is adjustable
You should really look for videos detailing the Crosman 2.5mm R/C bearing trigger hack. Simple mod makes the trigger pull short, light & crisp. I used it on my Prowler and my XL1100 with excellent results. Cost 3 bucks.
my first air rifle, the cocking force is really a workout lol
Nah not rly
My sis weak and it’s np for her
Hi i just bought it, and i was confused on how to put the scope on it, do you have to buy an extra railing?
Same problem here
@@naynayreverbed9034 u ever figure it out
This is such a big problem, did anyone figure it out yet?
@@ericchen5950 i’m thinking u have to buy an attachment. the next time i’m in walmart i’m gonna ask the person in sporting. it’s so ridiculous the screw is too big to fit in the hole lol
velocity?
I paid 104 and small pest catches hell. It's powerful.
thanks for watching!
how do u assemble the scope that comes with it
How to order.shipp to the Philippines?
Can u use .22 Cal cleaning rods for regular rifle or do u suggest sticking with specific cleaning kits.
idno man never used real steel cleaning stuff on mine, im sure you could tho.
Don't use any cleaning kit using steel as a wire brush or swage. Call Pyramid Air in Ohio for a metal-less clean kit.
I bought mine from walmart, is a pretty good rifle to have
It's awesome. Thanks for watching man
I just got mine today and was easy to sight in the scope. I used a limestone burm left over from digging up backyard and it was breaking up rocks like crazy.
awesome man. love this rifle. enjoy
@@ppdangler thanks!
@@ppdangler I wish I would have gotten into this sooner. Lots of fun and cheaper than .223 ammo and stress relief. My daughter even likes to shoot this rifle.
I love this gun I bought one last year it’s great I sold mine tho I put you in my give away as welll
oh giveaway? awesome man thanks. if you wanna send me some details ill give you a shout out on one of my upcoming videos. i see you have been trying to build up your channel. content looks good man. keep it up!
ppdangler that would be huge brother I love your channel you have put major time into yours details were just subscribe like and comment on my channel and lots of give always coming up same details thanks brother keep those videos coming I love your gun reviews man your always getting rifles at amazing deals in the USA much love from canada
What grain pellet again? I'm having no luck with my rifle and what I'm using.
14.3
I just purchased one of these. The rifle seems alright but the scope sucks so I can't give a good review on the rifle
Would you need to refill its air or is it just load and shoot?
Load and shoot
Can anyone comment on the longevity of Spring vs Nitro piston?
I bought a Crosman Optimas back in 2015 and it seems to have lost a lot of power since. How are these airguns holding out a few years later?
the nitro pistos is holding up great. no issues whatsoever. i have heard that springs can wear over time but i havnt experienced it. thanks for watching
@@ppdangler fantastic. So the rifle still gives you similar velocity and groupings?
yes it does. it is best to clean the barrel after 3-4-5 hundred shots. otherwise yet it keeps nice tight groups
Im having a problem with my scope, when I shoot the pellet doesnt hit the middle it hits more up and to the left, how can I fix this?
the scope has 2 adjustment screws. turn them until the pellet hits in the crosshairs. thanks for watching
I have the same problem. I've tried adjusting the scope, but no difference. Any suggestions ? Thanks, Frank
@@ppdangler I have the same problem with a brand new Prowler. I tried adjusting the scope, but no difference. Any suggestions ? Thanks, Frank
please tell me it is not made in China.
Walmart brand new 98.00
Mines was 108 dollars at walmart
You stell doing a givewway
I’m having an issue with breaking the barrel; anyone else having this issue? It’s very had. Any suggestions?
yea it takes some effort, try to brace the butt stock on your leg and reach up and break it down. thanks for watching
Give it a lil hit first that all ways works for me
Other than being a pretty heavy pellet gun, I have no complaints after 500+ pellets. Got this (www.amazon.com/UUQ-Tactical-Compact-Rangefinder-Reticle/dp/B01LRPMCRU/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=UUQ+4x32&qid=1560732747&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1 ) scope and it has been very VERY accurate up to 70m for me with Crosman Premier Pointed 14.3 gr.
Edit: Forgot to mention...it would be nice if this pellet gun could take a sling but I guess you get what you pay for.
Edit 2: Take the plastic tip off. Not only is it a cosmetic feature with no purpose other than to look the way it does, it can cause rust.
Please let me know when you are making another give away video because I really need one
A air soft give away vid
@Mario Portillo I don't have the money for one
Got mine for $98 at Walmart lol
Can't get them for that price any longer.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH DAT STANCE DOE
there are no longer benjamin refurbished on ebay, i will buy it at walmart for 104 plus tax 😭
108 today plus tax
Yo that one sounds like a springer . I did cut mi barrel and put black tape around the NP did crowning trigger color the stock brown and a home made silencer now is all shots one hole
its not. its gas piston. thanks for watching man
Sounds quiet I’m guessing because it’s broken in a bit
Ya little bit 100 rounds thru it at that point. It's an excellent rifle. Get it!!! Thabks for watching please subscribe!!!
Shot mine about 50 times it's still pretty loud
@@Riley_187 same
Bought the Prowler but got ride of that cheap ass scope, and bought a Daisy heavy duty AO 40 scope that was shocked proof and no that sucker drops crows at fifty yards no problem
I can't aim the one i have to save my life
i bought one too and my scope was all fucked. it would accurate and then it would be completley off. i put my 22 mag scope
on it and no complaints now.
Don’t kid yourself baseball size groups at 25 yards. The highest quality most solid feeling piece of shit I’ve ever owned. But for 35 bucks you did fine I suppose
Those rifles just come with there throw away scopes that’s why the guns cost nothing
na man the scopes are decent really. they are holding up. just the rifles are refurbished. whatever that means. but they function 100% for half the price. thanks for watching man
You say it comes w everything but the one i got from Walmart which was supposedly new just came w a scope and the gun ofc that’s it, is that supposed to happen?
Noise level?
decibels not sure. its not super loud, but would draw attention if fired in a neighborhood im sure. i fire it in my basement its not super loud
ppdangler thank you for the quick reply
Not louder than a clap...
Don't tread On me What’s louder? This or a fart
Sell without a scope for 75 bucks and it’s a Winner
I just buy one today. It's too hard to open the barrel to reload!.😔 how can I make it easier n reload faster!! ???🤔??
it will break in a little bit over time but still gna require some effort. thanks for watching man
Eat your wheaties
workout bro!
why is mine so much louder than yours?
Ask an airgunsmith how to make a "tune" on yours. Do it yourself, it's easy enough.
It's well worth it.
I'm here cause Idk how to adjust my scope
its easy man. just mount and adjust
@@ppdangler thanks lol I feel stupid cause I didn't know those caps came off
no worries man, enjoy! and make sure your subscribed!
How do you load it wtf
It's a break barrel rifle. Load 1 pellet at a time
@@ppdangler yeah I figured it out, the guy at the store made me waste money on co2 lol
I got mine from Walmart $98.00
good deal man! enjoy thanks for watching
brotha how u gonna skip the scope part that’s literally the only thing u have to assemble lol u and everyone else did the same thing smh
That barrel is not like my Benjamin prowler 22 cal
Scope are unreliable.....I put a BSA sweet 22 on my Titan 22
hey man thanks for watching, mine is holding up pretty good. the the best but. cheers
It’s cheap and shit, the scope sucks, mine won’t group at all. I’m swapping mine out for something else.
It as accurate as fuck.
It's Horrible for hunting raccoons
The trigger is plastic
No it's not
It's metal
