Page 9 - Benjamin Marauder Pistol Reviews

Quiet, very accurate, excellent trigger.

not a thing

a little hard to access barrel for cleaning. I got one patch thru it before shooting, it was black. very hard to get access from chamber to clean, but necessary. I used some cleaning pellets(2, 1 tip oiled, 1 dry behind the other), which was real loud because of little resistance. instead of using exact 15g pellets, I loaded up with exacts 18g, very, very quiet, and exceptionally accurate. so if you find you want it quieter, you know what to use. so easy to pump up this reservoir, I have not even used my scuba tank, not required for this really. superb trigger out of the box, I needed no adjustment. I really like this a lot! light, and accurate, I was shooting out the "o's on a sheet of bulk mail typewritten paper @ 27yds."

this is my 2nd marauder pistol. 1st one was awesome. all shots between 702 & 712 fps on 10 for 10 test. 5 shot groups in same hole. 2nd pistol was a piece of crap. shots were all below 690 fps with a wide gap between high & low. about 50 fps on 10 for 10 test. accuracy stunk. shots were all over target. thought the reason for 10 for 10 test was so you wouldn't get a lemon. sent 2nd pistol back for replacement. out of stock so I haven't received replacement yet.

make shoulder stock tighter. you will have to shim it if you want a tight fit. I have this stock on 3 pistols & had to shim all of them.

if you get a good one, in my opinion, it is the best pistol out there for the price. quiet, accurate, & well made.

This gun is the best I've ever had, it hits the mark dead!

It needs two screws in the handler to make it tight.

Just buy it! it doesn't get any better.......

Very compact, but powerful. Great trigger. Very accurate right out of the box. Easy to pump up with the benjamin pump

Weaver rail on top and bottom for scope, lights, bipod. There should be an upgrade option for wood grips, etc.

Very Very nice pcp pistol. I'm very happy with it right now.

I like everything about this product---performance, accuracy, short and sweet, quickly becoming my favorite.

weaver bases instead of grooved

I highly recommend this product. It's unbelievable

Light weight and very accurate. The trigger is much better than I anticipated. It's easy to pump up and once you get to 2800# PSI you have at least 24 good shots and will be around 1800# where It's easier to get back to 2800.

I like it just like it is.

Very accurate and light weight good power .

Design a different stock but most people like to put they own style on the weapon.

This gun will make you a great shooter very accurate and will go through a can of beets easily no problem killing anything I do not know why anyone would modify for more power.

I purchased the .22 in February 2013 and found it to be extremely accurate with no complaints.

In April 2013 the gun would not cock and I was advised to return it to Crosman. In late April I returned it to Crosman, under warranty, and Crosman would not pay shipping charges. Crosman now advises me they are unable to repair it because they have no parts and I have to wait at least another two weeks. It seems unreasonable for an expensive brand name to have no parts, forcing me to wait. I will not buy a Crosman product again.

The pistol is great..! powerful, accurate and very light but well constructed. I get 25-30 good shots. If you are thinking of getting one, DO..!!

A little expensive, a little loud, the shoulder rest is cheap and very low (for what you pay for the whole package).

This gun works great with the little 72 cu/in. Benjamin air tank..! Lots of fills. If you mount a scope, get it as low as possible, the shoulder rest is way too low, or get a red dot sight with low dovetail to weaver adaptor. There are many aftermarket goodies for this toy..!

Excellent pistol right out of the box. I added a 11mm to weaver rail and a Bushnell TRS-80 red dot. Had it dialed in four shots. Well built design and love the eight shot magazine.

As others said the stock has a little movement, not bad but it's there.

It was real easy to pump up using the Benjamin hand pump. In fact it was a lot easier to fill than I thought it would be.

Great fit and finish, out of the box it looks great. Trigger mechanism is real nice, fully adjustable. Once you figure out loading the clip, it works great! cycling rounds is smooth.

The fill cover is kind off a pain the o-ring is tight, like a child proof cap, takes a good deal of force to pull off, goes on easier. maybe a twist or screw off cap with a o-ring too. The carbine stock is nice, but it would be nice to eliminate that little wiggle that's always there, perhaps a set screw on the bottom, from the factory. offer a single shot tray.

Lots of possible mods for this gun, stocks, shroud extensions, internal tweaking, really you can set it up for lots of shot, lots of power, very versatile. The gun is rather lite weight, you may or may not like that, but it leaves room for adding accessories.

I like the gun! 1. It is light, not bulky and operating good. It is working great! 2. Price. It is good compared with other PCP pistols. It can be even lower :-) The others are way overpriced. 3. Good accuracy for pistol.

1. Increasing the power. Too weak for PCP air pistol. 2. It is loud even for this weak power. Increase the size of shrouded barrel and make better baffles. 3. One idea longer for a pistol. 4. Sell it with filling probe. Who is selling a gun without filling probe? This is the only gun I buy without filling probe! Not good! 5. The magazine is plastic and fragile. As a concept with spring is also not good idea. 6. The plastic handles are loose. Needs better construction or second bolt. 7. Bigger cylinder. It will not hurt thicker cylinder to increase with 30% the volume. This will give more shots per fill.

Over all - it is good gun. I like it a lot, but can be greater if from Benjamin fix the issues I mention above. Regards.

COMPACT SIZE.LIGHT WEIGHT, EVEN WITH A NICE SCOPE ON IT. SHOOTS WELL WITH ALL OF THE PELLET BRANDS I HAVE TRIED.I FIND IT NOT TO BE PELLET PICKY.

NOT ONE THING

A GREAT ADDITION TO ANYONES AIRGUN COLLECTION.

it a 8 shot an it make little sound an light accuary an powerful this is the way to go on small game

nothing

i did a review on this gun the other day an i must say this pistol is bad with 21gr h&n 5.53 game dont stand a change i kill coom at 40 yards with this pistol one shot to the head an squirrel at 30 to 40 yards i was looking at the talon p but now i glad i get this maruder an u can fill to 2600psi an shoot down to1400psi i get 32 shot an that good an arer powerful shot this gun is worth the money if any boby get a stock for the maruder pistol let me no i would love to have a wood stock

its a 8 round shot no sound an it hit hard just get it two day ago its light an accuary most of all

nothing

it have the power for small game at 40 yards was think abot the talon p but i glad i grt the maruder went hunt this moring an shot to squerrl at 35 yards one shot an it good with most pellect i use the h&n 18gr round noise it worth the money

Made in the USA. Built very well. Easy to pump up, fun and easy to check for the "sweet spot" for the best air fill. Ease of tuning for the velocity that works best for you. Not too pellet fussy, most seem to shoot very well out of the P-rod.

Like most other comments... the shoulder stock could be a better design. Other than that, nuttin.

If you're looking for a "Critter Gitter" at that 40ish yard range, this P-rod would be tough to beet. Most pellets shoot pretty good thru her, and other pellets (like most guns do) will be tack drivers. Each individual gun has their favorite diet, it's our fun job to find out which one('s) it likes. At 40yards, I can keep Predator Poly Mags under 1/2 inch and Crosman Premiers will do the same along with Crosman Pointed/Hunting pellet. Most other pellets open up to just under an inch at that range. This PCP is my first of my experience with PCP's. I'm enjoying it very, very much. Thank You Benjamin for a very fine product.

Compactness, Power, Not too loud, multiple shots, looks, and accuracy. I guess I got one of the good barrels. Others have complained about the accuracy. Mine was spot on. I bought a nice scope from Pyramyd and mounted it. It just took a few clicks of up and I am hitting the center out of my targets. I like the rail is already part of the Pistol. Loading it from my scuba tank is very easy. Lastly the included conversion from pistol to rifle was an excellent idea.

The loading of the pistol magazine is not the easiest to do. BUT it never failed to rotate or fire. I wish they offered a wooden nicer grips.

You will not be dsappointed with this purchase. As I get more and different loads through this pistol I will add more comments.

Really enjoy shooting this gun. is light weight and very accurate. I also use it to hunt rabbits and it performs great. my gun can shoot well up to 45 yards and even though i only had it for two weeks I'd already shoot more than 1500 pellets through it and I haven't have any issues with it.

The design of the stock. it feel wear on my hands.

I also bough the pump and was going to buy a thank but after seen how easy it is to fill, now i don't think i need one any more. Also this gun is great because it shoots crosman premier really well and that is a plus for me because i don't like to spend a lot buying pellets.

Very accurate, the carbine stock adds a coolness factor and makes this pistol very useful.

put 2 screws in stock

You will not be disappointed with this air pistol. It is the best air pistol I have ever owned and I have owned a few over the last 40 years.

this is a killing machine tree rats dont stand a chance put a bug buster scope and anything within 30 yards is dead

nothing its perfect the way it is

I havent found anything bad about it Ive shot well over a 1000 pellets
