Page 3 - Benjamin Marauder Pistol Reviews

I'm on my second one 1st one didn't hold air But Pyramyd Air sent a new one Quickly The Service Reps are top notch and easy to deal with.

As has been said many times improve the stock

This is a hard hitting varmint plinker. Will take out rats, squirrels and pests. Quietly and efficiently.

Combine this with the Hawke short range scope for deadly accuracy.

Watched a lot of videos and read a lot of reviews before buying this pistol and they all were spot on. This is a great airgun! Light weight, comfortable and very accurate. Buttstock had a little movement in it, but a couple of pieces of masking tape on the frame snugged it right up. Paired it with the Hawke Vantage 2-7x32 Mil Dot scope. Bought it for an ultra-compact pest control gun, but found it is the best plinking gun ever! I can't stop shooting! Need to buy more magazines!

Include more than one magazine! Two at the very least.

I own a FX Wildcat MK2 and a Hatsan Blitz both in 25 cal, but this pistol is my favorite to shoot. I'm even thinking of getting a second one in case I wear this one out.

Accuracy, size, ease of use, deadly on small game, gophers.

My house burned down in the california fires and I lost my pistol/rifle marauder and tank. Im Living in a trailer with little room. I bought the compressor instead of the tank because it was going to be almost the same price and I wouldn't have to fill a tank and have it inspected. My old gun took care of a lot of pests. It was one of the first things I replaced. I have other rifles but this is my go to gun and its really really quiet.

I get 40 shots from 2800psi down to 800psi with 14.3 jsb, my most accurate pellet. Takes 5 min with slow pumping( for benj hand pump longevity) to fill from 1000psi to 2700psi. Adjustable power. Came stock with 6 turns hammer spring, 1 turn throw. I think its the best setting, check where yours is set at.

Carbine plastic stock that came with it can get loose. Keep screws tight.

Peak power is around the 1500psi to 2500psi mark. Any psi higher then velocity is lower along with psi below 1500psi. Just use mil dots for high and low psi. I have a 4x16x40 scope, great for gun. Best accuracy is without doubt in carbine mode. Follow lubing instruction in manual. Use desiccant moisture apparatus with any hand pump to stop rust. It's my favorite gun.

This pistol, with the included shoulder extension attached to it, making it into an extremely light repeater air rifle, is incredibly accurate! It is hard to believe that a 12 inch barrel with a Bushnell red/green dot scope, mounted on high Weaver scope mounts, will let you shoot out a two inch hole in paper at 50 yards using seven of the eight shots in the magazine. The fifth shot missed the group by a half inch when I twitched some. I only consider myself to be an average level shooting enthusiast, so it was the rifle that was making me look good (along with a lot of luck). My grandson was receiving this "family gift" last weekend, instead of a Crosman 2300T pistol that he really liked, but which was giving us trouble and had to be returned. It was just dumb luck that I purchased this pistol after seeing the glowing reviews by so many other customers writing reviews on the PA site. In ninety minutes, the paper we punched together was better than .22lr range groupings at 15 yards. WOW

Nothing! Crosman did what they had to do to produce an incredible, popular air rifle, and I was fortunate to check out everything in the lower price range when deciding on the first "current" air gun for my 13-year-old grandson. I spent more money than I intended to, but boy was it worth it! The Marauder's repeater feature makes it possible for Aiden to improve his shooting skills in much less time than the single shot ancient spring power RWS I had given him earlier could ever do. We used up a full tin of Beeman FTS copper plated 14.72 grain pellets during this "intro to pcp air rifles" shooting session, and during that time Aiden learned to use a 120 cu.ft. steel tank at 2300 psi to safely fill his rifle using an 8" fill whip. The three quirky magazines were filled at the same time, and shooting resumed. When our daughter picked her son up after shopping with my wife, she was also amazed at the accuracy of this rifle when her first standing group all landed in the 6" bull circle!

We are fortunate in the USA to have opportunities to engage in all sorts of leisure activities that can bring us joy while also keeping us healthy. Airgunners choose their activity preference for multiple reasons, but as a group of similar minded enthusiasts, we all try to choose equipment that provides the experience we are seeking from the activity. Crosman produced the entry level repeating Marauder pcp that meets the goal most of us seek: allowing for excellence in marksmanship while using basic equipment that is easy to use and not very expensive. The initial investment is around a thousand dollars, and is it ever worth every penny spent, for the joy it can bring to those with some level of shooting skill, and who also have enough space to engage in these moments of diversion from the worries of the day. For us, shooting with friends and family, or even alone at times, can be a healthy stress reliever when it demands all of our attention during those few seconds when we aiming.

Outstanding performance and ideal for keeping in practice while nearby firearm ranges are closed due to COVID. Very easy to use! Very nice trigger! Much more accurate than I expected as a long time firearm user and first time PCP user.

Nothing ... I am very pleased with this pistol.

If you use a manual pump with appropriate oil/water separator and not a compressor or tank , first time buyers should know the plus is you can give up all gym exercises by pumping up to 2500+ psi! Great workout!

Ease of set up, light weight, quiet, accurate and powerful. I have the Marauder Rifle in .25 cal and love it...but it's quite heavy. I wanted something a little lighter for varmints getting into my chickens. I set the Marauder Pistol up with a Simons 4x32 scope and had it dialed in at 25 yards in less than 8 shots for two types of pellets. Shooting JSB Ultra Shock Diablo and Predator Poymag shorts. It took 4 or 5 shots to get dialed in then almost all holes were touching. The Ultra Shock shot just a hair under the Polymag (probably due to weight) but still super accurate. I haven't messed with the trigger yet but the trigger pull is extremely light and easy to squeeze off shots without pulling and affecting accuracy.

I would like to see this in .25 or .30 cal.

I fill with a Ninja 3000psi output regulator and fill station, works great.

ACCURATE ACCURATE ACCURATE. With a shoulder stock its a tack driver. Well worth the investment.

Nothing

Purchase a good scope; it will not disappoint.

I love that this gun straight out of the box it is amazing the accuracy is on point. Good knock down power. I use it to put down pythons. I hunt for pythons In The Florida Everglades whit this gun. Its nice and quiet and compact to.

Things I would change I would make it with the folding stock just for easier Carrie other than that I would change nothing.

This is dead balls accurate. I fired 5 shots right out of the box before I mounted a T Dot optics. At 10 yards they grouped with in 3/4 inch, without a scope. I then mounted a T Dot and added a DonnyFl Tanto and it only got better. This thing is so much fun. I have 9 other air rifles, 6 are pcp's and this might just be the most fun I've had in a long time. I can see why they sell out so quickly. The shoulder stock is nice and tight with no wiggle like others have complained about. The action is very smooth, even though it's brand new.

I don't understand why they didn't sell this with two magazines instead of only one. Your gonna want several.

Make sure you have plenty of 22 ammo because your not gonna want to put it down. I have a compressor to air my pcp's up with,but I decided to try hand pumping it. I'm 67 yrs old so no young stud buck, I aired it up from 1800 to 2900 in about 10 minutes. That's with a cheapo pump. So this is gonna be a blast to shoot.

-More shots than expected per fill -Higly portable and quiet when fired -Economically sound compares to traditional firearms -Great for practicing marksmanship

-Include 2 more spare mags, which are hard to come by -creating a storage space for spare mags in the overall design.

Doesn't take much to over fill with a BJ hand pump.

very good and a lot of fun.

better fit on the stock.

Get one.

Accuracy, Light weight, shot count, Length of pull, as a carbine this rifle really tucks in close to the body, I put a higher cheek riser on the stock. I put a Bushnell TRS-25 RedDot on it, as they weigh 3.7 ounces and keep this little carbine balanced and Not Top heavy. the TRS-25 is accurate out further than this Marauder Pistol is.

nada, nothing, zip, 0

If balance and weight and accuracy are very Important, as they are to me I use a Lightweight sighting Option that is excellent on this carbine rifle. I also have a UTG 3-12-32 side AO bugbuster scope. in case I feel like using a scope.

Great gun with fully adjustable hammer spring tension and travel. Accurate and backyard quiet.

Nothing

My first one leaked and would not hold air pressure.
Returned and am waiting for replacement now.

super accurate and lite little 22 it will knock rats out and well placed shots take larger critters too . its alot of fun I love it

stock moves a little for the price it should be solid and also should come with 2 clips . I added a scope mount weaver base that I had to the forearm screw and then it can hold a flashlight mounted turned out real functional.

feels good in the hand, ease to fill and easy to keep track of how much air you have! just a fun gun to shoot! i got it to shoot rats at close close range, it has far more accuracy range than i needed!! it has far more power than i needed! i fill the air and shoot ,shoot 32 shots befor refilling!! these are kill shots of 15ft or less ,even with air psi getting low accuracy stays up!

change the magazine to take more variety of shot! cant load red flights and if you do one at time have to use pliers my finger to large to fit in the small loading breach

this is powerful, if you want pistol for low power and not a lot of pass through?? this is not the one mounted in gun holder it will put 8 shots through the same hole.

My first PCP. I liked that even at 58 I can use a hand pump to fill it up. Very accurate. The adjustable trigger. Tunable.

A better fit and finish for this much $$. I found a youtube video that showed using a plastic shim would fix the moving stock. A 5 minute fix but still. No fixed sights.

Compared with an older Benjamin pump up gun this is so far advanced and accurate using the scope the difference is amazing. All of my shots have a tight grouping.

I think with time that the dust cap on the high pressure chamber may weaken and not have the tight fit like now. I would think that a screw on and off cap would be a step ahead. Everything else is super.

The air chamber doesn't take long to fill up with the manual pump. Keep the seals lubricated.
