By Rodney from USA on 2010-12-04 00:46:55 Things I liked:I was fortunate to receive one of the first Marauder .22 pistols. Mine is #38 of the first 75 made. When I opened the box I found that it was already charged to 1000 PSI. It is a long gun even without the stock but well balanced. It’s also as quiet as I expected. I also own a marauder .25 caliber rifle. The pistol is a smaller version of the rifle. It’s very well made. Your going to need a scope, it has no open sights. The grip and forearm are plastic. There is no wood whatsoever. The pressure gauge is easy to read. I’m very pleased with it out of the box.Things I would have changed:This pistol is new. I would like to see an addition of wood to the forearm and grip. The add on stock is a standard Crosman carbine plastic stock. I’m cretin that someone will make a conversion kit using wood. This gun begs for it. The pistol can be shot as a single shot or using the 8 shot clip. I think the clip could be made a little stronger it’s all plastic and a metal clip would be better. At present additional clips are not available. When the are get a few more. What others should know:This is a heavy gun, be prepared to use two hands. It’s long and big and best of all “Quiet.” The Barrel alone is 11 inches long. When you go to refill it with air, the dust cap on the end pops off. I spent about a minuet trying to unscrew it. I use a scuba tank to refill it, so I can’t tell you how many pumps it takes to fill the air reservoir. |  |

By Customer from USA on 2013-05-08 20:42:25 Things I liked:I purchased the .22 in February 2013 and found it to be extremely accurate with no complaints.What others should know:In April 2013 the gun would not cock and I was advised to return it to Crosman. In late April I returned it to Crosman, under warranty, and Crosman would not pay shipping charges. Crosman now advises me they are unable to repair it because they have no parts and I have to wait at least another two weeks. It seems unreasonable for an expensive brand name to have no parts, forcing me to wait. I will not buy a Crosman product again. |

- Things I liked:I purchased the .22 in February 2013 and found it to be extremely accurate with no complaints.
What others should know:In April 2013 the gun would not cock and I was advised to return it to Crosman. In late April I returned it to Crosman, under warranty, and Crosman would not pay shipping charges. Crosman now advises me they are unable to repair it because they have no parts and I have to wait at least another two weeks. It seems unreasonable for an expensive brand name to have no parts, forcing me to wait. I will not buy a Crosman product again. - Things I liked:The pistol is great..! powerful, accurate and very light but well constructed. I get 25-30 good shots. If you are thinking of getting one, DO..!!
Things I would have changed:A little expensive, a little loud, the shoulder rest is cheap and very low (for what you pay for the whole package).
What others should know:This gun works great with the little 72 cu/in. Benjamin air tank..! Lots of fills. If you mount a scope, get it as low as possible, the shoulder rest is way too low, or get a red dot sight with low dovetail to weaver adaptor. There are many aftermarket goodies for this toy..! - Things I liked:Excellent pistol right out of the box. I added a 11mm to weaver rail and a Bushnell TRS-80 red dot. Had it dialed in four shots. Well built design and love the eight shot magazine.
Things I would have changed:As others said the stock has a little movement, not bad but it's there.
What others should know:It was real easy to pump up using the Benjamin hand pump. In fact it was a lot easier to fill than I thought it would be. - Things I liked:Great fit and finish, out of the box it looks great. Trigger mechanism is real nice, fully adjustable. Once you figure out loading the clip, it works great! cycling rounds is smooth.
Things I would have changed:The fill cover is kind off a pain the o-ring is tight, like a child proof cap, takes a good deal of force to pull off, goes on easier. maybe a twist or screw off cap with a o-ring too. The carbine stock is nice, but it would be nice to eliminate that little wiggle that's always there, perhaps a set screw on the bottom, from the factory. offer a single shot tray.
What others should know:Lots of possible mods for this gun, stocks, shroud extensions, internal tweaking, really you can set it up for lots of shot, lots of power, very versatile. The gun is rather lite weight, you may or may not like that, but it leaves room for adding accessories. - Things I liked:it light an accuary an its a 8 shot an i must say it have no sound
Things I would have changed:nothing at all
What others should know:this gun is bad to the bone its accuracy an powerful i use 21gr h&n 5.53 head size at 40 yards it will go throw a hot shot can i done take 20 squrrel an 2 coon all at 35yards was think about get the talon p but now am not going get it this is just what i need wild i deer hunt an the most thing of all it make little sound when shooting - Things I liked:I like the gun! 1. It is light, not bulky and operating good. It is working great! 2. Price. It is good compared with other PCP pistols. It can be even lower :-) The others are way overpriced. 3. Good accuracy for pistol.
Things I would have changed:1. Increasing the power. Too weak for PCP air pistol. 2. It is loud even for this weak power. Increase the size of shrouded barrel and make better baffles. 3. One idea longer for a pistol. 4. Sell it with filling probe. Who is selling a gun without filling probe? This is the only gun I buy without filling probe! Not good! 5. The magazine is plastic and fragile. As a concept with spring is also not good idea. 6. The plastic handles are loose. Needs better construction or second bolt. 7. Bigger cylinder. It will not hurt thicker cylinder to increase with 30% the volume. This will give more shots per fill.
What others should know:Over all - it is good gun. I like it a lot, but can be greater if from Benjamin fix the issues I mention above. Regards. - Things I liked:COMPACT SIZE.LIGHT WEIGHT, EVEN WITH A NICE SCOPE ON IT. SHOOTS WELL WITH ALL OF THE PELLET BRANDS I HAVE TRIED.I FIND IT NOT TO BE PELLET PICKY.
Things I would have changed:NOT ONE THING
What others should know:A GREAT ADDITION TO ANYONES AIRGUN COLLECTION. - Things I liked:it a 8 shot an it make little sound an light accuary an powerful this is the way to go on small game
Things I would have changed:nothing
What others should know: i did a review on this gun the other day an i must say this pistol is bad with 21gr h&n 5.53 game dont stand a change i kill coom at 40 yards with this pistol one shot to the head an squirrel at 30 to 40 yards i was looking at the talon p but now i glad i get this maruder an u can fill to 2600psi an shoot down to1400psi i get 32 shot an that good an arer powerful shot this gun is worth the money if any boby get a stock for the maruder pistol let me no i would love to have a wood stock - Things I liked:its a 8 round shot no sound an it hit hard just get it two day ago its light an accuary most of all
Things I would have changed:nothing
What others should know:it have the power for small game at 40 yards was think abot the talon p but i glad i grt the maruder went hunt this moring an shot to squerrl at 35 yards one shot an it good with most pellect i use the h&n 18gr round noise it worth the money - Things I liked:Made in the USA. Built very well. Easy to pump up, fun and easy to check for the "sweet spot" for the best air fill. Ease of tuning for the velocity that works best for you. Not too pellet fussy, most seem to shoot very well out of the P-rod.
Things I would have changed:Like most other comments... the shoulder stock could be a better design. Other than that, nuttin.
What others should know:If you're looking for a "Critter Gitter" at that 40ish yard range, this P-rod would be tough to beet. Most pellets shoot pretty good thru her, and other pellets (like most guns do) will be tack drivers. Each individual gun has their favorite diet, it's our fun job to find out which one('s) it likes. At 40yards, I can keep Predator Poly Mags under 1/2 inch and Crosman Premiers will do the same along with Crosman Pointed/Hunting pellet. Most other pellets open up to just under an inch at that range. This PCP is my first of my experience with PCP's. I'm enjoying it very, very much. Thank You Benjamin for a very fine product. - Things I liked:Compactness, Power, Not too loud, multiple shots, looks, and accuracy. I guess I got one of the good barrels. Others have complained about the accuracy. Mine was spot on. I bought a nice scope from Pyramyd and mounted it. It just took a few clicks of up and I am hitting the center out of my targets. I like the rail is already part of the Pistol. Loading it from my scuba tank is very easy. Lastly the included conversion from pistol to rifle was an excellent idea.
Things I would have changed:The loading of the pistol magazine is not the easiest to do. BUT it never failed to rotate or fire. I wish they offered a wooden nicer grips.
What others should know:You will not be dsappointed with this purchase. As I get more and different loads through this pistol I will add more comments. - Things I liked:Really enjoy shooting this gun. is light weight and very accurate. I also use it to hunt rabbits and it performs great. my gun can shoot well up to 45 yards and even though i only had it for two weeks I'd already shoot more than 1500 pellets through it and I haven't have any issues with it.
Things I would have changed:The design of the stock. it feel wear on my hands.
What others should know:I also bough the pump and was going to buy a thank but after seen how easy it is to fill, now i don't think i need one any more. Also this gun is great because it shoots crosman premier really well and that is a plus for me because i don't like to spend a lot buying pellets. - Things I liked:Very accurate, the carbine stock adds a coolness factor and makes this pistol very useful.
Things I would have changed:put 2 screws in stock
What others should know:You will not be disappointed with this air pistol. It is the best air pistol I have ever owned and I have owned a few over the last 40 years. - Things I liked:this is a killing machine tree rats dont stand a chance put a bug buster scope and anything within 30 yards is dead
Things I would have changed:nothing its perfect the way it is
What others should know:I havent found anything bad about it Ive shot well over a 1000 pellets - Things I liked:Well made, very good accuracy as for pistol,
Things I would have changed:Optional wooden hand grip and wooden stock will be nice.
What others should know:This gun does not have metal sights you have to install a scope on it. - Things I liked:Fit and finish, crisp trigger, accuracy. Did I say accuracy?
Things I would have changed:Nothing.
What others should know:I was a bit reluctant to buy one of these because some folks had accuracy issues, but my gun shoots very well right out of the box. Crosman Premiers from the can seem to outshoot everything else, even JSBs. This is a terrific American made product. - Things I liked:Very quiet, much better then expected.
Things I would have changed:Totally wimpy, NO POWER. I have a .22 Marauder rifle and I LOVE it, I had hoped the Marauder would be the same, or close, not at all. Has less power then most springers.
What others should know:I have found that mine is not very accurate at all over 10yds. Cocks much easier then my Marauder rifle. - Things I liked:Very well made, fun to shoot, good looking, accurate.
Things I would have changed:I do not care for the way the protective cap has to be removed. I would prefer that it screws on/off like the Marauder rifle. It would also be very nice if it had low profile open sights.
What others should know:This pistol unlike it's big brother the Marauder rifle, has the ability to switch the bolt handle from the right to the left side. This does require some dis-assembly which should be done by qualified personnel. - Things I liked:Eveything. This Pistol is very backyard friendly. Quiet, accurate, etc.. I personally changed out the grips to crosman maple target grips. Benjamin/Crosman, really has it together with there product line these days!
Things I would have changed:As per your other reviews; the grips tend to slip a little bit. For how awesome that pistol is, it should really be stepped up with better grips. Wood options, perhaps?
What others should know:No, great overall design and very fill, friendly. Would genuinely, recommend to anybody, who's into pcp airgunning. - 1234
