Page 4 - Benjamin Marauder & MAR177 Rifle Reviews

It is excellent as is.

Nothing

Having ANOTHER filled magazine with your rifles favorite pellet saves reload time and if out in the field hiking about ? No loose pellets rattling about making noise or getting damaged.

Given the AUTO-INDEXING nature of the design and the .177 caliber pellet NOT using all the space, Tighten up the spacing and get maybe 13-15 shots into the same design.

Easy to load, easy to maintain & clean ... such a great K.I.S.S. design in general

Easy to use and quick to load.

Could be 12 round version.

First timers should get some patience on figuring out how to load this magazine.

It is great to have enough of these to go throught an air fill. They do everything that there suppose to do.

Seems expensive for a piece of plastic.

Easy to use, easy to load, easy to mount on the rifle.

Winding mechanism is weak - one of two magazines will not load the last three pellets because the spring won't push them forward.

I bought two magazines so I could carry a spare. The both worked great and one still does. The other has a "soft" spring. After about 20 or 25 fills the magazine won't push the last three pellets forward. I have to take the mag out and tap it to get each of the last three. Not saying the product is bad but it could use a stronger winding spring.

I does what it should. Can you imagine shooting an air rifle one pallet after the other without fumbling to quickly load while your chipper scurries away

Nothing

I had a problem figuring out how this worked, pretty clever idea

Easy to load, easy to change out, works flawlessly, resonably priced

None

Having a 10 round repeating air rifle with this magazine is a must have for anyone wanting quick follow up shots.

Very well done

Count down to zero

Very good item buy at least 4

Molto semplice da usare,buono anche il materiale usato per la costruzione.

Indicatre del colpo leggermente piccolo

The ability to take multiple shots.

Holds 10 pellets.

The design of the spring.

You really need to know how this mag works or its very easy to break. Do not overspin the clear plastic or it will break the spring.

Cal.marking Last shot bolt stop.

Design to prevent double feeding.

#9 pellet loaded in barrel #10 stuck between barrel and mag.Could not remove mag tried to close bolt for degas and barrel removal would not close.Had to force mag out lucky did not damage barrel or gun. If you think youve double feed a pellet. Pull mag and shoot off in safe direction.

the numbers

more uniform spaces for the pellets; in some spaces, the skirt needs an extra push in

no way of telling if a pellet has been loaded already (other than firing); pulling the bolt to check if the hammer is cocked already will advance the next pellet into position in front of the bolt even if there is already a pellet loaded

The convenience of having ten shots available when it works

The Spring, The Spring and the Spring

The Benjamin Marauder is worth every penny you pay for it. It is an accurate, rugged and great looking rifle.

yea its made of plastic but so what, it does just what it's suppose to do

nothing works fine

The convenience of having ten rounds available in one loading. However, it amounts to nothing if due to poor quality it does not work.

I would put a sturdier spring and secure it very firmly so that it would no spring out of place causing a failure.

Works great; easy to load after a couple tries; very convenient.

Ordered three spares because I liked them so much.

Price. Availability.

Nothing

For the cost of these magazines I have no complaints. They fit feed and function as they should. I have heard complaints about the plastic and weak spring. I never encountered any problem. I use mainly JSB and Crosman Premiers without any trouble. The Marauder is a real bargain in the PCP world. These magazines are also a bargain. My BSA super 10 mags cost 85 bucks. My Falcon mags are 40 as are my Air Arms mags. They may be made with metal but they still have issues. I have never purchased a Falcon magazine that didn't need some adjustment. My AA 410 mags work fine but they also are a plastic housing with a metal cylinder. For 40 bucks? I will take the plastic Crosmans at 13 all day long. If you load them correctly and keep them clean you shouldn't have any problems. If you do have issues, call Crosman. They are always willing to help. Try that with BSA or Air Arms. I have and it is very frustrating. Thanks Crosman for stepping up and making a PCP that is accurate and fun to shoot without costing me over a grand to own.

Crosman does a good job keeping their accessories affordable. The shot counter is nice, my 850 airmagnum always keeps me guessing how many are left.

The plastics and spring used, they just are not all that rugged. That said, at the price if they do wear out over time I suppose they should be viewed as a wear item like tires and shocks.

Once I get my quantity of shots per fill worked out I will buy enough of these to cover at least one fill.

the 10 shot capacity

The spring is weak and tends to jump out of place. The Marauder is an outstanding rifle but a little shoddy crappy magazine diminishes its usefulness and value. It is like putting a $50.00 water pump in a Ferrari engine. It is expensive for the crappy quality and cheepo materials.
