Why can't I get it to cock?

If you go to Youtube and enter this into the search box you should find all you need to know about the gun. Benjamin Trail NP XL - .22 cal Gas Ram "ultra magnum" (At least that is what I call it..!)

Is the rifle new? The reason I ask that is because if someone else owned it they might have put in a longer trigger adjustment screw and if you turn that to far clockwise it will cause the rifle not to cock because it will not let the sear make contact with the trigger. Just for the heck of it screw the trigger adjusting screw out counter clockwise. remember how man turns you made so if that is not it you can put it back like it was. Dutch

Are you breaking the barrel and pushing it downward until it will go no further? It should lock the piston or cock it when the barrel gets to about a 45 degree angle to the stock of gun. If you are pushing it down that far and it's not locking the piston into place then the gun has a defect.

It takes a lot of force to cock this gun. It has got to go all the way down. If that's not the problem I would call benjamin

Just a note to everyone, I did try pushing it in surprisingly hard last night and it DID work.Please give your jack another try. What's the worst that could happen? Just push it in HARD until it's flush.

Yeah. I had the same issue. I just forced it. Once I did that, it wont come out for nothing.

Not very hard to cock, I put the crank cocking device on my crossbow, but if you use the cocking rope its not that hard to cock.

Not a good system. Had the same happen to me. Frankly, the manual cocking device seems to work the best for me. Just adjust to fit your arm length. If cocking while standing is difficult, sitting on the ground and just leaning backward makes cocking a lot easier. I would return the unit. Hope this helps. Bill

Tip it at about a 45 degree angle and be patient. :) I drop it onto my finger and then stick my finger in his mouth to suck.

I would of contacted Crossman before wacking it against a brick wall since you've only had it for two weeks!!! Try some WD-40. I just had mine out over the week end, sighting in an upgraded scope. Works awesome still! Never had issues with cocking it, actually never have lubed the barrel either. Good Luck!

About 43 pounds. I do give the barrel a light smack to get it to barely break open, then use both hands to cock it. Maybe I could cock it with one hand, but it would be tough; it's much easier using two. It does take considerable effort - I can cock it over and over again, but my girlfriend can't cock it at all.

I've never used a single action, but I believe you have to hand cock single actions. Like, a shotgun, you have to pull the slider back initially to fire.On this gun, you simply fire until it's empty. The CO2 forces the slider back to load another bb. (in theory, it might just be for show). Either way, you don't have to hand cock it. Safety off, fire until it's empty. Super fun. :-D

It is not difficult to cock. I am skinny ~average strength. Anyone who says the rope cock is too long or has to be cut is *doing it wrong*. Read the directions please on the rope device before posting otherwise. You put 1 hook on one side of the stock, thread the device around the stock, then put the other hook on the other side of the crossbow string. What you're left are two short lengths of rope handles and 3 fulcrums which do all the work for you. Don't just attach the two hooks and pull with all your might with all the leftover rope. This crossbow is fun and easy to use :)

Trying tightening all the blue knobs. It should not be difficult to mount and use it. It works very well.

You have to turn the clip as you push it through. Check YouTube for some good how to videos.

Slide the colored part forward and then lift up. I couldn't get it either! Then my fiance did it first try

A woman or large can cock it by putting the stock on the ground, brace it with your foot, and push the barrel down. If you can lift 20 pounds, you can cock this gun. Even if it's hard for you, it's well wort the effort.

You need to cock the gun each time you want to fire. Also, the safety automatically engages each time, so you also have to press that off.
