Beautiful stock, lightweight, nice finish.

Better mechanism for loading and inserting the magazine. Standardize the quality of metal throughout the rifle.

BE CAREFUL OF THE TRIGGER ASSEMBLY! I can't comment on the accuracy of the rifle as I have yet to be able to fire a single shot. My trigger assembly essentially disintegrated on my first shot. As it turns out, most of the assembly (sear, link, safety lever, and trigger) are made of a zinc alloy commonly referred to as "pot metal". Not what I would have expected in a $500 rifle. The barrel, reservoir, receiver and bolt all appear to be machined aluminum or steel. But the only steel parts in the trigger assembly are the roll pins and springs. I hope that this is just an anomaly, and is not going to be a common problem. I have already contacted Crosman about this, and will hopefully receive a reply soon.

Well guys i just received the .22 cal and it is as good as the .177 ! Can'nt seem to miss anything with this rifle.

need two magazines would be helpful or three, one is not enough!

You need a pull-thru cleaning rod to clean the barrel from the breech.

10 shot clip, nice wood, nice fit and finish 27flbs out of box w/ kodiaks made in the U.S.A.

Needs HDD or something to quiet internals. 7shot clip for iron sights U cant hit nutters running in trees W/scopes.

Do'nt use lighter than 21grains fur huntn an such

I am amazed at how quiet this airgun is. The two-stage trigger. The stock made out of wood and not plastic. The quality of all of the parts of the rifle, how they look and how they fit together tells me that this is one fine weapon.

Absolutely nothing.

I am a novice when it comes to airguns, but not to firearms. I purchased this airgun in order to get rid of the ground squirrel pests on my property. Because of my urban environment and the range that I would be firing, 30 to 50 yards, I was looking for a quiet and accurate weapon. I needed one-shot kills and I did not want to alert the neighbors. I got both of these qualities with this air rifle. I purchased the .22 caliber rifle, the ammo, the pump, the scope, and mounts from pyramidair.com. Everything showed up very well boxed. No damages whatsoever. I mounted the scope and pumped up the gun to 2800 psi, set up my quiet target trap and zero’d the scope using the Crosman Premier hollowpoint 14.3 grains pellets that I purchased. Then I went hunting. End of pests. I noticed while I was shooting that the report from the muzzle was not scaring the squirrels. In one session, I dispatched three squirrels from the same clip within 30 seconds. I am very well pleased with the quality of this rifle. By the way, did I mention that it was quiet. Whisper quiet.

This review relates to the 22 cal version. This without a doubt the best airgun in all respects that I have ever come across. Forget my RWS 460, forget my Hunter Falcon, this rifle hits hard. No fancy holds, no scope shift, no loud noise, no fumbling to reload, no heavy trigger to ruin your aim. Hits hard, using only a 2000 psi fill it blows larger exit holes in critters that I have shot than the 2 above named rifles, or any of the 6 other ones I own. Shot 3 red squirrels at my bird feeder the other day, 1-2-3, the shots didn't disturb the remaining ones, as I eliminated them one after another. This is a no excuses air rifle.

Nothing on the rifle. Have a option for more clips on the order page.

I used only Crossman Premiers as they worked and shot so perfectly. I used three clips during the super easy sight in, and checked it at various ranges, again with just the 2000 psi fill, had no point of impact shift. Used some two piece medium height bases that I had left over after replacing them on hard recoiling springers, and a 3.8X12 Simmons that I used to have on my 222 Rem. Ordered this on the first cycle, came on time, once again the super good service you always get from Pyramyd. Do what you have to do to buy this air rifle, you can have my other 6, but don't touch my Marauder! I think 22 is the way to go with this rifle, it would be a shame to waste it on 177. Order a bunch of Crossman Premiers when you order this rifle, they shoot and function super well.

I most say that I love the stock and the wood work on this gun, I love the 10 shot magazine and how quite the rifle is. The power seems to be very good (don’t have a chrony) I shot through ¾ inch board at 40 yards. was busting walnuts at 40-45 yards, is that ccurate or what.

The ten shot magazine should be something more that plastic. Easer way to clean the barrel.

Buy plenty of pellets you will go through them in no time at all.

GUYS! The 177 cal. is great! comes from the factory tuned to 850 with cp 10.50gr pellets. You don't have to change a thing on this rifle. Ordered the .22 cal., hope it is as good as the .177. I got 40 shots with this tune.

Not a thing!!!!

This rifle is under priced!!!! This rifle is quiet! quiet!! quiet!!! Pyramyd air, you have a winner here!!

I also got one of the first 100, mine is in 22cal. The power, I chronographed at 950fps with a 16 gr Predator getting just a hair over 32 foot pounds of ME. Accuracy is outstanding, can take a 12ga shotgun shell off a stump at 75yds (good scope). I get 30-35 shots per fill of 2800lbs. This will be my go to squirrel getter. I have several Airforce guns and I believe this gun is even more accurate than they are. This thing is very very quite, I would recommend this to anyone wanting a PCP. It is a well made gun and would be a great deal at twice the price but don't tell Crosman that.

should come with two magazines, you can order form Crosman for $15.00. Correct the mags to accept longer pellets.

The magazine will not accept a longer pellet like the JSB Predator. This can be overcome with the right tool, a 1/4 in router bit to shave a grove in the mag cover and the problem is solved.

Just got it!! ran 100 pellets through..Great gun..very accurate..shot sub 1 inch groups at 30 yards easy. Very very quiet. Well built outstanding quality. I shot 40 shots from one charge of 2500 psi with no drop at 30 yards. Very impressed

10 round clip has alot of plastic..time will tell if it will last. Pellets that are a little bit oversized do not load in to the clip easily..some times the bolt seemed to not go in all the way...I pulled it back to get it go in and loaded in double pellets. Need more experince to see if this is really an issue. Include or make availble a single shot tray. Need more clips

Use high quality pellets if you want easy loading to clip

Just about everything! Beautiful craftsmanship, power, accuracy and great price compared to the competition. Many adjustments can be made to the trigger, and power settings. It can use either CO2 or air. Magazine indexing of shots lets you know how many are left. Best aspect it is very quiet. I would compare the noise to shooting a low power Daisy bb gun. Really cool, American made quality airgun. I will be using this one a lot since I will not be worrying about disturbing the neighborhood with loud shots.

The magazine could be made more durably and more shipped with the airgun. There was just one mag shipped in the box along with a degassing tool. Add instructions on how to unload/load pellets from a fully/partially loaded magazine (just in case a bad pellet is mistakenly loaded or one wants to change the ammo type or just to add pellets to maintain a full mag.)

Recommend buy several magazines when they come available and lots of pellets. Watch the videos at the Crosman site especially prior to mag loading and making any adjustments. Got the #1 of the first 100 Marauder sold, but got scope/accessories/ammo and the Discovery pump that works w/Marauder here...good service. Get the accessories prior...you'll want to start shooting right away. This one will become #1 PCP Airgun.... its that good.
