Page 4 - Benjamin Marauder Field & Target Reviews

I ordered a 0.22 cal. Very accurate out of the box, one ragged hole at 15 yards. Appears to shot very flat out to 30 yards, is still rising at 10 yards. Cant wait till a nice day to put it on a bench rest and shot farther. About 30 shots between 3000psi and 2000psi. Mine likes JSB Exact Jumbo Heavy Diablo 18.13 gr best, H&N Baracuda match 5.53 next, H&N Baracuda match 5.52;third, the only pellets tried so far.

A rail for other attachments like a light.

Great rifle, heavy but very accurate.

Its really quite ,so easy to cock,i got mine with the Lothar Walther Match Barrel .

Nothing

I got the Lothar Walther Match Barrel in 22 cuase I want to hit a bulls eye on the bulls eye but so far its shooting like my other 22 with the regular Crossman barrel which is ok but maybe it needs to be broken in .

Everything

Nothing

But it

1- Price for the Quality 2- Accuracy

1- I wish Crossman came up with some kind of a mechanism to prevent double loading. 2- The weight.

Folks, I am very familiar with air guns (spring, break barrel types). I have been shooting since I was a little boy and now I am fifty. One thing I must say, the move from a break barrel to a PCP is a huge leap. When you enter the PCP domain, there is absolutely no going back! What I bought is a .22/Regulated/W&L barrel. What a purchase! The distance I was struggling to cover using my high quality German made spring air guns is flawlessly covered quadropoly by this amazing Marauder. I don't remember last time I was so happy with a purchase. I wish I did it sooner.

Overall, I am pleased with this rifle. It has functioned flawlessly and holds its air charge with no detectable leakage for weeks at a time which is the longest I've gone without using it. I bought it in .22 caliber with the Lothar barrel, because I was looking for the most accuracy I could get in an affordable rifle. I've put over 1,000 rounds through it using 9 different pellets (JSB, H&N, Crosman, and Gamo). I am still looking for the magic pellet which will reliably shoot 1/2" 10 shot groups at 25 yards from a bench rest. I have shot a couple of 1/2" groups with the Crosman Premier Domed Ultra Magnum 14.3 gr and the JSB Jumbo Exact 15.89 gr pellets. But, not reliably--the next group under the same conditions might be 3/4" or larger. I also like the adjustable comb and the Weaver/Picatinny rail.

Being over 6' tall, I would prefer a longer length of pull or maybe an adjustable length of pull.

I have been shooting and reloading center fire rifle cartridges for 40+ years. This is my second adult pellet rifle and my first PCP. It is nice to be able to target shoot without having to go to the nearest rifle range 23 miles away.

Ok the wife got me this with the lother Walter battle simple its a tack driver you get 70 shots easy. This is my first pcp an maybe the only one I need. I got 177 so maybe a 22. But if in dought what one to buy first simply buy this one. I shoot 30 yards an with less then 50 shoots I got 10 shot group covered with a dime. Had bit of trouble with mag called they sent me new one right out

Nothing. O I hand pump it no problem at all doing it

Simply just buy this one no up grades needed

I wish I would have taken the plunge into PCP sooner! I really like this rifle for it's large number of consistent shots between fills. It is very quiet and accuracy is excellent... the ground squirrels don't know what hit them. I have it sighted for 50 yards where it is deadly accurate, and often make shots out to 70+ yards

Nothing... so far it outperforms my skills.

Great quality, love it!

Nothing

regulated, good trigger control, excellent sound reduction, very pleasant to shoot. It's just fun to shoot.

I haven't found anything yet that I didn't like.

it's a regulated tack-driver. It is not a kid's gun -- too heavy and bulky for younger shooters. Great for adults.

I originally bought a Gamo Swarm .177 for target shooting in my backyard. The Swarm is a fun gun to shoot but hard to shoot accurately. I avoided PCP's at first because I was under the impression they take too much effort and expense to charge, i.e. tanks, compressors, etc.. That really isn't the case. The Marauder F & T works fine with a Hill pump...takes me about 3 minutes or so to fill from 2000 psi to 3000 psi...gives about 40+ shots. I could discharge lower and get more shots, but I like to take a break after about 40 shots anyway. Check out the Rick Eutsler (Airgun Web) video on Youtube...everything he states is true. On bags I can shoot a 3/8" group at 50 yds...just amazed at the accuracy of this gun. Incidentally, this particular gun has the Lothar barrel.

Not really anything. I might comment that this gun is heavy...probably 10 lbs with scope...but not necessarily a bad thing for target shooting.

Quiet, Accurate, American manufactured, good value...whats not to like?

After receiving my Benjamin Marauder Field & Target with the match grade LW barrel, I tried five different pellets. The JSB Match Diabalo Exact Jumbo Heavy .22 cal 18.13 grain, domed, in 500ct shot a dime sized 5 shot group at 20, 25, 35, 40 AND 45 yards. This will definitely be the only pellet that I will be using henceforth, period! The others shot good, but this pellet shot lights out! Totally OUTSTANDING pellet accuracy! This is a truly accurate and outstanding air rifle. I really love this air rifle and Pyramyd Air is a truly outstanding company to do business with in every aspect too!

Nothing

Shoot and have fun with this accurate and wonderful air rifle!

Amazing precision I already have marauder that I have bought tree years ago and that one cannot come close

Finish on the wood ,it look like is plastic almost

Great rifle for a money

Accuracy is super. Dime size groups at 30 yds. all day. 1" or less at 50 yds. This gun will truly outshoot my 55 years of shooting skills. Really like the regulator option as I am getting around 75 consistent shots between 3000 and 2000 psi. Baffles really keep the noise report low. Loudest noise is my pellet hitting the wooden backstop. Plows right thru 1/2" plywood.

Wood stock is pretty plain but adequate. Would like to see the option of perhaps walnut or something more worthy of the gun quality. Iron sights would be a nice option.

Have not had the opportunity to experiment with others as I just started shooting my new rifle but JSB Diablo Exact .22 pellets are shooting great in my LW barrel.

Just inboxed my .22 cal last night and installed scope. No adjustments from factory , str8 out of the box with LW barrel sighted in at 30 yards being about to cover ever shot with a dime with 3 different pellets. Could cover a 10 shot group at 50 yards with a quarter. I musta got lucky and got dandy Absolutely amazing shooter.

Not a thing so far

Gonna take a minute to learn to load the magazine ( YouTube It ) Other than that its self explanatory If your one the fence about getting one due to reviews I suggest you get it. I missed a couple birds at 35 yards ( windagw not the gun ) and they never flew off , they didnt know what it was. After an adjustment they fell prey

I grew up with a Benjamin pellet rifle model 342 and pistol model 132. First thing after a school day was to grab a Benjamin and head to the woods. I still own them and they still have that made in U.S.A. wallop. It was time to finally go PCP! I really am pleased to add the Field & Target Marauder to the family. Even though after joining forces with Crossman years ago, it's definitely still a Benjamin. Thank you Pyramyd Air for a quality air rifle the way I remember they should be.

Not likely.

Getcha one!

Quiet & Accucate

Knock some weight off of it if it wouldn't hurt the accuracy of the rifle.

This thing is Awesome. I had the scope for this mounted by Pyramyd Air and I think the scope must have gotten knocked around a bit in shipping because the first 20 shots I took with this gun were 3"-4" high a 200' and no amount of adjustment was helping. After I centered the scope and reattached it I only had to make a couple of small clicks on the scope and this gun is spot on a 200'. At 200' I'm putting 10 shots in a 1/2" group on an outdoor range with .177. I could easily get more than 60 shots before having to refill but I've been refilling the gun and the magazines at the same time. I may pick up a couple more magazines. I also like the fact that this is a very quiet gun to shoot; the pellet hitting a cardboard target at 200' away makes about the same amount of noise as the gun. This is a heavy gun though it actually weighs slightly more than my Remington 870 loaded with eight shots. I'm doing 1/2" groups at 200' off the bench, a friend of mine has the same gun and he takes the heads off matches prone at the same distance. Accurate, quiet and quick follow-up, the three things I wanted and this gun deliveries on all three points.

Really do like the Marauder FT with Lothar Walther barrel. Still breaking in and testing. No regrets so far. Will update my opinion later as needed.

The high shot count, and the accuracy is outstanding!

Nothing

Nice gun but magazines jam alot.

Crosman don't work well in this gun. They jam alot.

The gun is ok but not with crosman pellets.

I can get 80 shots per fill
