Page 10 - Benjamin Marauder PCP Reviews

This baby hits like a ram! I've seen those videos where this stuff smacks pretty hard but when I saw my baby in action, then I realized that the rifle I've purchased ain't a kid rifle. I went some ground squirreling this weekend and the performance was optimal! To be honest, I was expecting a lot less in accuracy and power but then I tried "El Nene" and when I heard hitting those squirrels at 35 yds... Just wow! I used benjamin destroyers and I'm thinking in getting as many as 4 or 5 cans of different pellets. If this baby is accurate at 35-40 yds with destroyers, I can't wait to shoot with domeds or polymags!!!

Just a little bit heavy, but I love it!

This would be beyond your expectations, that .25 barrel made from Green Mountain is really choked and accurate. I've purchased the combo from pyramyd and I have to say that it's the best of your deals. Get some polymags, jsb and benjamin domeds and have fun!

Quality of workmanship..I cannot believe how accurate this rifle is !

more shots per fill.

being kind of new to modern air rifles this is a real eye opening experience. I own older sheridan c02 rifles and benjamin trail xl's in all 3 calibers. I felt they all shot well and accurate . none of them come close to the remarkable accuracy and ease of shooting as this Marauder ! I now know what a good trigger feels like. Great work by Benjamin..Thank you to the great staff at PA !!

I have had my Marauder (.25) for about two years. It was my first PCP. When I first shot this gun I feared that it was malfunctioning. It was THAT quiet. The power is excellent, but power doesn't mean squat unless you hit the target. And hitting the target is a given with this rifle if the shooter does his job. The accuracy is astounding. The first time my brother-in-law shot this (at 35 yards) he feared he was completely missing the target after his first shot. I assured him he was stacking pellets in the same hole. It is nowhere near as pellet-sensitive as my springers, but does have its favorites. I've shot my best groups with domed pellets, such as the H&N Barracuda and the Benjamin. I have not modified it at all, though I wouldn't mind installing a de-pinging kit. The noise doesn't bother me but I know that can help create more consistent shot strings. Still, this gun is such a tack-driver that I just haven't felt compelled to tweak it. The price is also fantastic.

The stock is a little bulky for my tastes. The trigger is only so-so but at this price point, it's fine.

Pumping this thing up to about 2500 psi with a hand pump is a workout. I don't really mind, but I admit that once I got a scuba tank I haven't used my hand pump once.

very quiet out of the box

too heavy...trim some weight off some how.

very accurate and great trigger out of the box

THIS RIFLE IS AMAZING GREAT MATERIAL USED IN MAKING THIS RIFLE GOOD WALNUT STOCK ZERO RECOIL ACCURATE ABOUT 42 FPE STOCK INTENDED FOR HUNTING ONLY FOLKS I OWN A 25 CAL MODEL.

CHANGE THE HAMMER SPRING BY DOING SO THE RIFLE DOESNT WASTE MORE AIR THAN IT NEEDS TO.WITH THIS COMES MORE FPE ABOUT 15-20 MORE PRETTY AMAZING IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF.

INTENDED FOR HUNTING AND NOT FOR BEGINNER AIR GUNNERS.PERIOD

The rifle has a great fit and trigger. Very comfortable in all positions. Wide range of tunable velocities mean nearly any pellet can be made to shoot well. The magazine is flawless in performance. Everything is machined perfectly, fit and finish are top notch. The moderator is quite effective at all subsonic tunes.

Silkscreening of the white logo on the side looks crooked. The stock engraving and finish are a bit bland. I would include a chart showing various tunes with at least Crosman/Benjamin pellet types. There is a large community of users who have discovered ideal tunes for various pellets. A quick reference of these tunes would help find the sweet spot instead of running hundreds of pellets over a chronograph and measuring group sizes etc.

Don't let the quiet nature fool you, this rifle is more powerful than a magnum springer.

Accuracy, well-built, MADE IS USA! Able to be tuned to your liking.

Nothing.

I did many weeks of research before deciding on the Marauder. My last minute change to the .25 caliber was due to the .25 barrel being a better quality (choked) barrel. My first clip (8 shots) could be covered with a dime. Trigger is great, but is also easily adjustable to your liking as well. Both JSB Exact Kings and Benjamin Domed had the same point of impact. I paired mine with a set of Leapers mounts, 4-16X 50AO Leapers scope, UTG bipod and a Hill pump with micro bore hose. This rifle is truly a great buy. As always, Pyramyd Air was FAST with the shipping (I purchased the 10 for $10, and it still shipped the SAME day). Do your research, there is quite a large supply of information out there.

Great knock down power! I have the Benjamin trail xl 1100, titan gp, none of these breakbarrels come close to its accuracy. For the price it's a great hunting rifle. I wasso pleased I got the 22 cal.

Make the power adjustments all in one area on the gun and more simplified to use. Perhaps a dial or something.

This gun is awesome out the box. I would not adjust it unless you have knowledge of how to
Adjust correctly or you remember factory settings. Best if you have chrony tester.

Very high quality gun. Love it

There is nothing I would change

very accurate. nice trigger.

larger air tank

very accurate 3/8 inch at 50 yards, 5/8 inch at 75 yards havn't tested at 100 yet. nice small game hunter.

My first pcp rifle, love it. I regret didn't buy .25 cal. Very nice looking and accurate

Longer breech for longer mag to hold long pellets.

Whitin 40 yards be aware your pellet will go through a pest you shot at.

Accuracy is great. The crossman pellets that came with the package deal work perfect. Pump is great. 50 pumps gets me 30 rounds. Nice and quite.

Nothing

Pull hard when cocking. I didn't think the bolt was working at first.

Every thing except the exercise to fill it. It is very accurate. It is not as pellet sensitive as my other air guns.

Nothing that I have found yet.

You will love the rifle.

Smooth trigger and very accurate gun! This gun is extremely quiet and easy to operate. One thing that I noticed right out of the box is how well the gun is made. Very solid and feels good.

It would be nice if the gun was a bit lighter.

The gun is a bit heavy for me so I purchased a set of shooting sticks to stabilize the gun. Also, in my opinion, a sling is a must have. This is a great gun and I highly recommend it.

Fantastic rifle out of the box. Very accurate and hard hitting. Extremely accurate and very, very quiet. I have the .177 and could not be more pleased with the quiet, accurate performance of this PCP.

The bolt is a bit tricky until you get used to it. You must ensure that you have pulled completely to the rear in order to chamber a pellet. Other than that, no complaints at all.

You will most certainly not be disappointed in this rifle. For the money, you just can not beat it. And it's an American made air gun.

Hands down. If you want a good starter pcp this is the way to go. Beautiful work of art. without cleaning i was grouping within a quarter at 200yds at the range. People with live rounds made fun of me saying it was airsoft. they quickly shut their mouths after learning it was a .25 and it was an air gun... all the way to 100 yds i group on a dime with the jsb exact.

Nothing it was all that i wanted.

dont wait time on a pump. get a tank.

Extremely accurate, easy to charge with hand pump, good looking gun, very quiet

Make stock from walnut, stock dents to easily.

This gun was even better than I thought it would be. It is very accurate. Has virtually no recoil. I have put over 200 rounds through this gun with no problem. Not nearly as hard to pump up as I was expecting. I have been shooting the Benjamin hollow points through it.I have heard others say that the Benjamin hollow points are very inaccurate past 20 yards but I can hit a 4 inch circle at 75 yards with no problem. Extremely pleased with this gun.

Very powerful gun. It was a gift to myself. I ordered the .22 combo. The gun shots great. Great feels good the a steady a trigger. Order a extra clip. You can use up one pretty fast. Also the gun uses air. I turned 62 on my birthday bit to fill on 1st fill and ordered a hand pump. The 1st fill is a workout. After filling pump to 2000 lbs with a full pump at 2700 lbs. When I ordered the you get a scope but the scope that came was not what I ordered but it came in the correct Box. I know they would never believe me but the scope I did get was nice just smaller than what the combo said was nice. a nice Hawkes scope. Also I don't I would not recommend the gun to a gun for the younger because of the air you to need pump in in might be to hard.

Nothing. The gun is nice.

Other than the scope problem, Nothing. Very fast shipping as usual.

Love this gun, extreme power, just excellent, thanks pyramydair

Good the way it is , awesome gun

You need to invest in a (biggest one) HP tank with a 4500 psi fill , so u can run it at top fill all the time....

I like everything about this Rifle. The trigger, the shrouded barrel, the discrete sound of the shot, the (almost inexistent) recoil, the number of shots per fill, the pre-existent sling studs, the amazing design and above all, the incredible accuracy. Its impossible to be more accurate.

Absolutely Nothing. Don't change anything in this gun. This is an amazing piece of engineering that has reached its highest point. I'm sure that any attempt to improve this gun will compromise this perfect balance; - something that is extremely good. I know the limit is 5 stars although I give it 12.

Since I started into airguns I may have tried maybe 15 different guns and nothing compares to this one. All you folks out there should know is that if you have a chance to buy a Marauder, do not hesitate. Only an accurate gun , no matter what qualities it may have; - only one accurate gun can give you pleasure. This is the one. This gun will make you happy for sure.
