Remington NPSS, .22 cal

I have had one of these .22 cal Crossman NPSS for about 5 years now and it has lost power to the point of the pellet
not even penetrating cardboard. I understand the nitrogen power pack can leak and that is probably the reason and that it is easy to replace. Where do I get one and instructions to replace it.

Awesome gun. Easy to get used to and very accurate. Killed 98 squirrels last season with this gun. I love it.

Pros
Very accurate and Quiet.

I have had this gun for about a year and a half, and I can say for sure it's a keeper. I was concerned about the piston losing power over time, and this does not appear to be a problem, at least judging by the squirrels that keep falling over in my yard. I have, on several occasions, left it cocked for over a week ( I really can't recommend doing this), with no perceived change in performance. I am able to effectively kill at twice the distance compared to the pneumatic (open sites) Benji, and I am getting consistent hits at 4X the distance. Noise: I have noticed an inconsistency in how loud this thing is, but for the most part, I would describe it as quieter than a low powered BB gun; the difference being that the noise tends to travel backward, towards the shooter. The sharp "crack" and reverb of a rifle is missing completely. The report is very short in duration- you will hear the pellet hitting the target every time. Shooting this gun from an open window, I have gotten many "2nd Chance" shots, due to the lack of forward projected noise. I have been having very good results with Predator pellets, however I have yet to completely understand the trajectory of this rifle; at certain distances I cannot seem to maintain accuracy.

Pros
accurate solid feel fairly quiet

Cons
long and heavy hard to cock trigger not so great

Overall this is a good airgun. I bought the .22 model. I've had to re-adjust the scope many times, seems to move around a bit...I haven't used loc-tite on the screws yet, but I will if it settles down or I may get a different scope. The rifle seems to shoot accurately and it's very powerful...I got 735 fps on the chrono... The 2 stage adjustable trigger is a misleading statement as far as I'm concerned. I put in a new trigger from Charliedatuna and it works great. The gun is heavy and well built. This is my first 'real airgun' and there is a learning curve. I'm well pleased with it now.

Pros
quite powerful accurate

Cons
trigger

I haven't been able to sight-in the riffle although I only have taken about 30-40 shots. Ten of these shots were just to align the scope; it seems to be getting a tighter pattern with additional shots, however, the grouping is still too wide spread to start hunting squirrels with a clean kill.

I find the sound reduction to be much better than my spring action but not at the given 70% claim. The trigger pull is too long for my liking even after I adjusted it; the scope came with the gun and adequate for the combo price I guess, I'm used to high end scope on my powder riffles.

The gun stock is composite and makes the gun feel a little on the cheap side; I prefer wood but I imagine that it would have added to the already heavy weight of the gun. The overall length of the gun is a negative even for a man of my seize; something to consider. Unfortunately, I should have been able to read independent reviews on this model but none were available, therefore, since I can't come back six months from now and give it a fair evaluation, I have to rate this riffle at a first impression level. I'll recommend this riffle with reservations.

Pros
Quieter than my previous air riffle Loading effort reasonable Hard hitting

Cons
Breaking accuracy time Overall gun length No gun sight No independent reviews

I love the rifle but I had to replace the scope mount witha slanted mount. Plus to aluminum shims. That got me on target at 50 ft. I will sone see how it is at afarther distance.

Pros
Everything, price, style scope.

Cons
Barrell droop

This is one accurate rifle that is severely compromised by its trigger. They refer to it as two stage, to me it's just one dreadfully long pull that makes it extremely difficult to stay on target. Many reviewers complain about it, so I'm not alone. I'm also not a fan of the cheap synthetic stock. That aside the rifle produces consistent power undoubtedly aided by the nitro piston technology. Sighting in the scope can be a challenge until you get used to the trigger mechanism but it's dead on once zeroed. Cocking the break barrel may prove to be challenging to some, this is definitely not meant for a child. The power is awesome making a solid back stop a necessity. The scope appears to be well mated to this rifle.

Pros
Break barrel simplicity, powerful, quiet, scope

Cons
Trigger, cheap stock

I have been using a 177 caliber air rifle to rid my backyard of tree rats (squirrels). While a well placed shot will drop them. It sometimes requires a second shot to finish the job.
My 2 previous rifles were both Springers and even though one of them was advertised to be reduced sound they can not compare to the Remington NPSS .22. This rifle was easy to sight in and the break in period was less than 50 rounds. Quarter sized groups are common.

Pros
Quiet and Accurate

Cons
weight

I haven't completely broken this gun in yet, but it shoots nicely. Noise is not a problem. Very smooth handling.

Pros
Lightness and ease of use.

Cons
Nothing yet.

This gun is all that I hoped that it would be. A little louder than I thought at fist but the more you shoot it the quieter it gets. I have fired about 50 rounds so far.

Pros
I like the look of the gun and the quiet shots.

Cons
I can not find anything that I don't like about this gun.
