Page 15 - Benjamin Marauder PCP Reviews

Is the Marauder worth the $480 plus the $200 you'll need to shell out for a pump? Yes.

Can't think of anything.

Great power, great accuracy, great gun.

Things I like? EVERYTHING!!!!!! This must be one of the best pcp guns u can buy. What else would u want besides a more expensive beter looking stock.. Accuracy, power, perfect trigger, fully adjustable all comes with the Benjamin. Way to go crosman on this awesome gun. Can't wait for the next Benjamin rifle to come out some day...

As for the gun nothing.... But I wish they will sale different options on stocks. That's the only thing I'll change is a nicery stock. Perfect gun must have. Make sure u buy .22 JSB 18.1 grains. Best pellet out there

Stock is the only thing to consider when buying.. You will not regret buying this gun.....
A.W.E.S.O.M.E!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's by far, the best PCP air rifle that I've ever owned, and I've owned plenty over the years. It's extremely accurate & quiet ! The quality of the wood and the bluing on the metal parts is excellent. The trigger pull is light and crisp, not to mention it's fully adjustable for each person's individual needs and tastes ! The fact that you can either fill it with compressed air or co2 is also a plus ! Easily mounts any kind of scope on it's perfectly placed dovetail rail. I personally placed a Centerpoint 4-24x56 scope with Red, Green and black lighed reticle, also comes with parallax wheel. It compliments this rifle very well ! I could keep on going, but you guys get the point, " You won't find a better rifle for this amount of money anywhere, and it's even better than many rifles that cost 3 times as much !

Nothing at all !

Best Air rifle on the market, hands down ! A must buy !

This is a great gun for the money extramly accurate and hard hitting .

Not a thing

Stock is elegant and thick. I like the thickness since I have big hands. The. 25 Cal isn't really that loud like everyone claims it to be. Accuracy is great, I get quarter sized groups at 30 yards with decent pellets and tighter groups with beeman kodiaks and better pellets. Powerful, it takes two shots to half inch wood at 30 yards and it blows a pinky sized hole through it. I'm sure accuracy will be even better when I figure out all my fill pressures and just learn how to shoot it better. At a 3000 Psi fill I can put 24 pellets through and still be right above 2000 Psi with 31.02 grain pellets and can get 32 shots right at 2000 Psi with lighter pellets. Using the hand pump isn't horrible just takes technique. I recommend pumping at a moderate rate to minimize heat to pump. Its a fun plunked because of accuracy and even better hunting rifle because of accuracy and power. I've learned that if you miss your game shot its your wrong judgement or just bad shot not the gun. Also has a lot to do with your sight in distance because impact points change at different distances. I reccomend nothing smaller than a 4×16×50 because then gun will shoot the distance. Medium mount rings will work with that scope objective with enough room to put in clip. All around just a great rifle.

Nothing the gun is elegant, powerful, and accurate. This is a winner!

Just buy the gun. I went through 4 break barrels before I finally spent the extra money. The break barrels just wouldn't give me what I wanted and the Marauder does it without trying. Again buy the gun you wont be disappointed!!!

Everything

Nothing

I would recommended buying more than 3 magazines.Very good aim and power, one of the best rifles for the price.

GREAT GUN RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX. FOR THE MONEY YOU WILL NOT GO WRONG. MY DAD HAS ONE AS WELL, AND HE LOVES IT.

I WISH THEY WOULD PUT A EXTERNAL POWER ADJUSTMENT LEVER OR WHEEL. THEN THIS GUN WOULD BE PERFECT.

THIS GUN HAS MANY ADJUSTMENTS THAT CAN BE MADE. MINE WAS BEST SET FOR JSB EXACT JUMBO HEAVY AT 900 FPS.

Very accurate and fun to shoot. The magazine is great compared to loading one pellet at a time. The trigger pull is outstanding and the gun is well balanced. I have a new favorite airgun. If you buy this gun, buy the package deal from Pyramyd Air. The package deal you get everything you need.

So far in my testing, I like the accuracy and the quietness. I have yet to test for power etc. The gun seems well made and solid.

So far, nothing.

The first Marauder I received leaked air pressure even after I asked sales person to specifically check for leaks as I had a similar leaking problem with a different gun from Pyramidair several year earlier.. It would loose about 500 psi in an hour. I contacted Pyramidair and explained etc. The returm/exchange process was about as easy as it could be. Althought a replacement gun was on back order, it only took a few weeks to receive. I know they tested this one for pressure as it had pressure still in it.
Another note to mention is I was going to order online, but called to ask a question. I am glad I did, because sales person saved me more money by finding and applying coupons etc. Thanks Much Guys!!!

Everything. The .25 is simply awesome. The guns action is like cutting butter-smooth and lite! Its extremely quiet. Trigger is fantastic. The stock is beautiful. I went through 4 different break barrels before I finally hacked up the extra money and got it. It was WORTH EVERY DOLLAR!! I can get 24 shots from 3000-200 with the last 8 shots not dropping below 758 fps. Figure that up and it is 25 ft/lbs which is still double the amount for small game. The first 8 shots put out 958 fps factory tuned so thats 40.9 ft/lbs. This gun packs power,accuracy,quietness and beauty all in one package. This is the ultimate hunting rifle. BUY IT YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!!

Truthfully about the only thing I could think of would be to have it come with a sling on purchase seeing that it has sling mounts on it from the factory

JUST SPEND THE MONEY AND BUY THE GUN!!! You will never want to put it up. Don't use any scope with a zoom less than 16x and an objective less than 40mm. It will be doing the gun an injustice!!

When I shoot it infront of someone who has never seen it they all start laughing because they cant beleive how quiet it is. Actualy had it at full 3000 psi and had one guy ask if I had it pumped up or if it was a dry fire. This gun is accurate also. Dad and I both have one and we chalenge each other at 50 yards holding groups within a quarter (counting pulls and flyers). I LOVE IT!

The stock is bulky and it is a bit heavy once you have the scope and bipod (11.3 pounds yikes!)

Get the .25 cal you wont regret this purchase.

Accuracy; clean design; solid build.

None

Extremely accurate air rifle out of the box. Granted, I've only tried the Benjamin Discovery .22 Cal, 14.3 Grains, HP, but nonetheless, this rifle is dead on accurate.

3 shots 1 hole. Most any reasonable distance. Very quiet. Enough said!

Larger air capacity

You will be impressed maybe for the first time with this rifles accuracy.

Everything

A lefty option would be somthing for crossman to consider offering ...no big deal when bench shooting but would be a big plus for fast follow up shot when hunting.

This gun is everything you have read about! The accuracy is amazing, but what is even more amazing is how flat it shoots 10-60 yards is pretty much a hold on shot +/- 1/2 inch. Mine likes the JSB Exacts head and shoulders above the others and will do well under a dime size groupe at 50 yards with good conditions. It shoots all pellets good except destroyers. 100 yard shots on quarter sized targets are doable all day as long as the wind is light. Over all this gun is a ton of fun and extreamly accurate.

This is a accuary air rifle an you cant hear it when shoot it i get the 25cal an it do a good job on small game i shoot the H&N 31gr pellts

nothing

This is the gun to get on small game it is real accuary going get the 177cal next its worth the money

Overall fit and finish is good for the price of the rifle. Accurate and fairly hard hitting out of the box I have shot several .250 groups off the bench at 20 yards with NO WIND. Several squirrls have been added to teh pot with head shots under 20 yards distance but probally would prefer a 25 Cal as mine is a 22 caliber. Pellets are cheaper on the 22 vrs the 25 but stopping power is greater with the 25\Overall great rifle for teh money

Lighten the sucker up and change the drop on the stock

A proffessional rifle and NOT A TOY
takes a while to get to know teh rifles quirks and nuamces

This thing is absolutely amazing!!! I can not believe the accuracy, trigger pull and adjust-ability, I will brag on this rifle and Crosman for producing it.

I am not saying the weight is a downfall in any way, but if that stock was lighter I would not complain.

Everything. This rifle is incredible. Tons of features at a reasonable price. Shoots 1/4" groups at 20 yrds with the cheap Crossman Premiers in the tin. Also loves Kodiaks. Very powerful. Rolls my NRA Smallbore silhouettes like they were being hit with 22 LR. Very quite; pellet hitting the target is louder than the rifle report. Trigger is excellent with factory settings and fully adjustable. The list goes on and on.

Stock is a little bland but well made. Might be nice if they had an upgrade option for a better looking stock.

This is a large rifle. Fairly heavy at 7lbs, but the overall size will surprise you when you open the box. Not really a bad thing, but something to be aware of.

80 shots per charge might be pushing it. Maybe you can get there with adjustments, but not likely on factory settings. I get about 60 consistent shots with factory settings.

Pumping effort is at least double that of the Discovery but not too bad if you are patient.

Don't buy the Benjamin Pump (the reliability is terrible). Consider the Hill Pump instead.

Precission Shooting

The stock could be a little less bulky

This gun is amazing, so glad I got one, I'm getting 10 shot dime sized groupings at 50 yds, shot a squirrel out of a tree at 95 yds. Ive had a sheridan 5mm for 30 years and it has been a great gun but cannot even compete with my mrod .25 cal. Thanks Pyramid great service and prices.

i love the stock, it has a nice weight to the wood and the finish is excellent. Amazed with how accurate the Marauder is my brother in law hit a squirrel at 105yds and ive gotten a head shot on a squirrel at 95yds. The rifle feels comfortable in your hands and is extremely accurate for the money.

Watch the double feeds, there's no way to check if their is a pellet already in the chamber so you really have to pay attention. if an extremely light weight magnet could be put on the bolt that would be superb.

a air gun that no matter the price range this is the best pellet rifle for your money. Don't waste your time and money on a spring rifle. This is a great air rifle that if it were a few hundred more i would buy it again.
