Benjamin Marauder Combo Synthetic Reviews

Very accurate. When I was testing it out, the first shot before sighting in the scope was off as expected. Second shot without any change of scope setting: when I looked at the target, I couldn't find where it hit the target. Then when looking closer, I noticed it had hit the exact same spot as the first shot. I was pleasantly surprised at the consistency. Now I just need to sight-in the scope. This was at about 30 yards.

It's pretty heavy. I wonder if it could lighter.

This is my second Benjamin. My first was a wooden stock. The new one also has a Walther barrel.

It arrived quickly, I've sighted it in but haven't really used it yet. Its very quiet.

Gun is great hits so hard

I bought 4 mags one had low spring tension not to easy to get back together.

Very accurate, like the scope, love the 10 round clip. Have been taking out pests and haven't missed a shot yet.

this is a really impressive air gun. it shoots better then a few of my 22lr's and it is super quiet. In fact it was dark when i got home from work my son and i couldnt wait to shoot it but i was worried about people hering it but we did it anyway. we mounted the scope on it and got it zeroed in 8 shots. we continued to shoot it and nobody herd a thing.

it would be nice if it was not so heavy. the magazine is not the best you only get 1 mag and with it being so unreliable it was a pain.

well worth the money awesome gun just get a few extra mags take them apart and make the spring tighter you should have no trouble. worth the extra money get the upgraded barrel.

Bought this airrifle for mainly hunting great gun very powerful and accurate first pcp Ive owned and the marauder was a great choice

Nothing

Just buy it you wont be disappointed

Everything

-This is my first PCP gun, and although I've shot "springers" for sometime, I still have a lot to learn about PCP guns. -I like the weight and heft of this gun. -The trigger is excellent for a factory trigger. -Outstanding accuracy (see pics) My gun really like the typical Crosman Premier 14.3 gr hollow points. -VERY quiet! -I like the fact that is is a multi-shot/magazine fed gun. - I ordered the "20 for 20", just to ensure I got a leak free gun, that had been checked over versus one that was simply packed and shipped. Kudo to Pyramid for offering that service.

-The scope that comes with this combo is HORRIBLE! I've seen better optic quality on bottom of the barrel Tasco and BSA scopes...if I had it to do over, I would order the gun alone and buy my own scope. The quality of the scope greatly detracts from the value of the combo and my overall rating. -While the adjustable cheek piece is great, the shape of the cheekpiece is far too "sharp" for my taste. The shape needs to be more rounded/comfortable. -I cannot grasp why the barrel band has airspace all the way around it?? I realize it's suppose to be a "free floating" barrel, but the least amount of even hand pressure shifts the barrel around. Mine arrived with the barrel against one side of the barrel band. I went to Home Depot, purchase a box of #30 O-rings, and crammed 4 of them around the barrel/under/inside the barrel band. I discovered that this mod kept point of impact much better then without the O-rings if the barrel is leaned against something of bumped.

-The gun is fun to shoot and accurate! -Buy extra mags! -I'd encourage buying the "10 for 10" or the "20 for 20" just to ensure the gun gets a once over before it's shipped. I consider that money well spent versus having to return a defective gun. -Be aware that once you dip your toe into the PCP ocean.... it WILL suck you in, and you will spend a bunch of money on accessories.... compressor (hand pump is just not worth it IMO), filters, Tank(s), etc. -My gun arrived SUPER FILTHY! Much more then 20 shots would cause. With the shroud/baffles and the small mag port on the breech, it can be difficult to clean. -Once cleaned, I always finish all my gun bores out with a coat of good quality paste wax.... it extends cleaning times, and in air guns I feel it improves accuracy. -I took some stars away for value because the scope is simply not up to par, so really all I got for the extra $$ was a sling. That caused me to downgrade the overall rating too.

Very accurate and quiet,Scope was easy to sight in.

Include better instruction on how to load the magazine.

Great rifle.

Just what I was looking for. As many others, started with a springer, but it was too noisy/hard to shoot with the internal spring/shock. This .25 Marauder is total different, no bounce when shooting, very quiet. Started hitting a 1" target/dot within minutes [edges only] with a bit more practice, hitting centers @ 40yards.

No comment at this time, seems like they have thought this air rifle out quite well.

Went for the package deal, including the Nomad II, and 25. cal pellets Very happy with the purchase!

This rifle/scope combination is just as advertised.

Lite accurate, it is Benjamin what else do you need

Nothing

Build quality, accuracy, power.

Stock -- looks and feels like cheap plastic.

All of the gun

Nothing

Cocking is rather hard and heavy

Received very quickly even though it was the holiday season. Packaged very well, no damage of any kind. Target and signature came with the gun showing the 10-10 was done. A light and compact rifle! Everything I wanted to do to my Gen 1 Benji in 22 cal has been done here with this rifle.!!

Nothing at all.

I duplicated the hole in hole target that came with the gun. 10 shots in a ragged hole with just about every 22 cal pellet I own!!! The adjustable trigger is great i got it down to exactly how i like my guns to be. My rifle came setup 25 shots at 25 foot pounds just like i hoped it would. No more ping no more strap on cheek pads no more searching the world over for a pellet it likes, this rifle has it all and more. Money well spent!!

My first pcp and I love it. I went from a gamo maxxim break barrel to this and will never go back. Its extremely accurate. I use jsb Diablo 18.13g. Its very quiet.

Nothing.

I really like the gun ! I had it setup so it was ready when it arrived . I'm shooting quarter size groups at 60 yards . It's a tack driver ! The scope is great for the money . You can't go wrong with this product package ! Good luck

Nothing !

gun shoots very good and smooth

I WOULD CHANGE THE GUN FROM A SINGLE SHOT TO A FULL AUTO.

GET THE GUN GOOD PRICE

Overall feel and the trigger is excellent.

Make it easier to cycle the bolt. This should come with a spare mag./clip.

The Benjamin Marauder is a good looking air rifle, what I have found that there is a sweet spot on the pressure for accuracy, and I also found this air rifle will consume most pellets as long as they are not to long for the magazine to handle without jamming and the accuracy with most are very good.

Benjamin offers a scope that I feel should not have a AO adjustment on it, it should be a variable with fixed parallax, most shots with this air rifle will probably only be taken at the most of between 50 and 70 yards. So if used for hunting small game it would need to be adjusted at different yardages and the opportunity of missing the prey may be gone. I feel a 4x12 with a fixed parallax is the right scope unless it is going to used for some sport competition.

Make sure the air pump purchase is one that take moisture out of the pump and one was recommended to me by those in repair at Pyramyd Air and it seems to do an excellent job with the canister on it to take moisture out of the pump. Using this pump it is taxing especially for someone my age, I am looking into buying a compressor and making sure it has a moisture separator on it and it not installing one myself. The
