Page 3 - Benjamin Marauder Synthetic Reviews

Only owned Springer's before now.. love this marauder. Its quit and supper accurate. With crossman premier dome 14.3 pellets it will stack 5 shots at 35 yards in less than a dime. Will shoot same holes if I do my job.

Nothing

Get a Hawke scope for it, pay the little extra for a good scope. You cant hit what you cant see.

Met all my expectations, I will concern Benjamin when buying my next air rifle.

None

Absolute pleasure and fun to shoot. Accuracy is amazing. Deadly on pigeons and prairie dogs. Have owned for 3 weeks and shot over 1,000 rounds. This rifle can be used in backyard without neighbors hearing. Rifle can be adjusted to increase power or number of shots per fill.

Would like larger air chamber.

If you want a quiet, accurate pcp at a great price, this rifle will more than satisfy.

Great trigger, quiet , reasonably pellet friendly I am getting 50 to 60 shots from the factory setting before it starts dropping no game as of yet. This one is a .177.

heavy for an old man and a bit bulkey

I have the .22 version also and it is much more accurate. Given the choice again I would stay with .22.

The gun preformed as promised, Im pleased with its performance

Low noise level and excellent accuracy. I upgraded from a .22 cal Discovery with a moderator to the .22 cal Marauder Combo with scope and mounts. The Marauder is much quieter and just as accurate. My primary use is pest control - keeping pests away from my Pecan trees, and keeping them away from equipment on my property. I'd been watching the Pyramyd Air site for sales on the Marauder for a long time and finally found one I just couldn't pass up.

The bolt is a bit draggy and hard to cycle, but I imagine it will eventually smooth out with use.

I like everything about the Marauder. Its super accurate and quiet. The trigger is very easily adjustable down to what ever you want. Head shooting squirrels at 35-40 yards is very easy if you have good optics.

The weight is heavy and with a heavy scope its a 2 handed operation but with weight comes stability.

When pumped up to 3000 psi it needs shot 10x then its a tack driver for the next 30 shots.

Very accurate. Very quiet (except when the pellet smacks the target ;-)). Excellent trigger. Comfortable grip. Easy to shoot. Powerful. Left-hand option. Package included 4-16x40 AO scope, rings, sling and swivels, soft case, assorted metal little critter targets, two swinging targets, and a Partridge in a pear tree.

Needs fiber optic sights for no-scope shooting.

My first PCP. I'm 66 years old and weigh about 150lbs. I can't pump this rifle up to 2600psi. Had to have my son pump the last of it. I was bouncing up and down with all my weight trying to get the pump handle down. Seriously considering putting out the money for the Benjamin Traveler portable compressor. The .25cal Marauder has a lot of smack. Blew right through a 3/4" plywood (not pressboard) pallet. The trigger was smooth and light, far better than I would have expected on an air rifle. Just wish I could have gotten the Lothar barrel and Picatinny rail. Some fiber optic sights would be nice too.

I gave the Marauder 4 stars for accuracy only because I haven't tried all the pellets I want to. several I have tried are single hole for ten shots outstanding. Coming from a springer at age 80, I appreciate my gun is not hold sensitive. School is out on using the hand pump, you can't be in hurry.I haven't had it long enough to do a full review (pesting, longer range shooting, but so far I'm very happy with the gun

The bolt action is a little finicky, youtube reviews help with that. The short lead on the hand pump is a pain virtually laying the gun on the ground to pump it up. If your into excersize you will love the hand pump.

I love the fact that so far pellets from 7.5 gr to 10.5 gr. shoot really well. A Marauder is definitely blue collar gun. I love the versatility, adjustable cheek piece is very nice.

Plenty of power for squirrels. It is very accurate with the scope I put on it! Hardly any noise. Backyard friendly for sure.

The clip seems to be ok but I would like one more substantial.

This is a very good air gun!

The 10 shot clip is great. Having the ability to shot a number of shots without pumping

I m a big believer in you tube videos to walk people thru product set up and use. It would be great if PYramyd had a directory of you tube videos on their product use set up and use.

I love my .25 Marauder. With a 3-12 Hawk mil dot scope and JSB Exact King Heavy pellets I can hit just about anything I want inside 100 yards. I regularly hit empty 12ga shells up to 100 yards. My current tune allows me to shoot 16 shots between 750 and 765 fps. with the 33.8 gr pellets.

I did run a piece of 400 grit sandpaper around the edges of the cheek piece to get rid of the sharp edge.

This is a fun and accurate rifle that has a significant amount of power. It is quite enough to be backyard friendly depending on the target. The impact of the pellets is louder than the shot if shooting at hard targets. I'm using a 5 gallon bucket full of shredded rubber.

Weight

Sounds, is too noisy

Original gun was defective and I requested a RMA for an exchange. Upon receipt of the defective rifle they set up a new order and it was shipped and received as scheduled.

None

I believe the folks at Pyramid are knowledgeable and professional dealing with customers.

great accuracy, even out to 50yds (1/2in). Smooth trigger. Good balance. Like the adjustable comb, makes fit right

Clips a little hard to load and insert in rifle. Also, I'd put on a conventional safety.

This rifle is QUIET! And ACCURATE! I am extremely pleased with both the Marauder and Pyramid Air. My first purchase and all is great. Excellent packaging and prompt delivery.

I am very impressed with this rifle. With very little effort I have been getting sub 1" groups at 50 and 60 yards. Also punches through a 2x4 at 15 yards. Should make a very effective hunting rifle. It seems to like JSB heavy pellets best.

My first Marauder purchase was a .177 with Crosman barrel. Vey accurate. I purchased this in .22 cal Lothar/Walther barrel. This combo takes accuracy to a whole new level. This gun came out of the box tuned to shoot 18.13 JSB at 890fps. With .241 accuracy at 30 yrds. Fit and finish perfect. Upgrading to the Lothar/Walther barrel well worth the price.

Nothing

I was considering a purchase of an FX Dreamline or Brocock Bantam. I decided to try the upgraded Marauder at far less money. Very satisfied with my decision. Thoroughly cleaned barrel and coated with some Ballistol prior to mounting my Hawke Vantage scope. Less than 10 shots to sight in at 30 yrds.

Excellent air rifle. Great accuracy and very quiet. Nice to use when in an area such as Miami where people are not so accepting of gunshots going off next door. Seriously the most quiet air rifle I have ever seen and very accurate.

The magazine is a little tricky and hard to get use too but review a couple you tube videos and you should be fine.

I HAVE HAD MY BENJAMIN MARAUDER (SYNTHETIC STOCK) FOR 3-4 WEEKS AND HAVE PUT ABOUT 3-400 PELLETS THROUGH IT. IT IS VERY ACCURATE WUTH CROSMAN AND OTHER PELLETS EXCEPT WADCUTTERS. THE TRIGGER PULL AS IT CAME OUT OF THE BOX IS ABOUT PERFECT FOR MY TASTE. IT IS HAND PUMP FRIENDLY UNTIL THE LAST COUPLE OF STROKES. I FIND THAT FOR ME IT IS GENERALLY BEST TO SHOOT BETWEEN ABOUT 2800PSI DOWN TO 1000. THAT STILL GIVES ME A GOOD SHOT COUNT AND IS JUST A LITTLE EASIER ON MY 70 YEAR OLD BODY. I THINK IT A HIGH QUALITY , STANDARD OF THE INDUSTRY PCP AND WOULD UNRESERVEDLY RECOMMEND IT TO ANY ONE THAT WANTS A GOOD LOWER PRICED AIRGUN.

THE ONLY THING I WOUULD LIKE IS TO HAVE A MORE ROUNDED SHAPE FOREND, AS WHERE THE LEFT HAND GRIPS IT. NOT A BIG DEAL.

IT IS AN AWFUL LOT OF FUN TO SHOOT!
