Benjamin Marauder PCP Air Pistol Kit

I purchased this pistol for culling the iguana herd in our yard (we live in South Florida). We have been basically unable to grow anything we used to because of the iguanas. They especially love bougainvilleaI which we have surrounding our property on three sides and growing to heights to 30+ feet. I started with a Crossman pistol but it just wasn't powerful or accurate enough to do the job. The Marauder does the job and the sight that came with the package is a total game changer. I pick the larger iguanas out of the high up plants with relative ease. I mean WOW!!! We now have growing and blooming plants again especially the bougainvillea - my wife is very pleased to say the least and you know if she's happy we all are.

The hand pump is pretty difficult to actually use it requires a lot of pressure to get the recommended psi of 3000.I have since purchased a Rovair 4500 from Pryamidair and it is much easier and more accurate and obviously way easier to use. I would have been nice to have a kit that included the Rovair instead of the hand pump (obviously would have been more expensive but hey so much better.)

Well worth the cost.

The Benjamin Marauder PCP Pistol is my first foray into the world of PCP guns. It was great to get a kit so that I had an easy starting point. The Marauder itself is terrific to use and the trigger is excellent. I liked that it was very accurate at the distances which I was shooting at, which was about 10-20 yards. One of the best features is that it has a shroud which can also take an adapter to add another moderator on it. With just the shroud itself it is quiet but once I added a DonnyFL UNF adapter and then tried both a DonnyFL Tanto and Buck-Rail suppressor, it was so quiet that you can only hear the firing mechanism and the pellet hitting.

Having backup sights would be great so you do not have to get an optic immediately. Still, I was planning to add an optic anyway so the kit was perfect to get started immediately.

My son was visiting from another state when this came so we put it together. We had a blast using it so I bought a kit for him too so he could get started with air guns. (I also bought him a Crosman 1322 because everyone should have one of those.)

Accurate, relatively easy to pump up by hand, nice little package

A small picatinny rail on the foregrip for a bipod and a higher comb on the stock

This is my first PCP. It is a great gun and being able to take 30? Full powered shots on a fill is awesome. I am more accurate with the Marauder than I ever was with my Diana 460.

I did have to get a 2nd Marauder Pistol from Pyramid Air as the first was leaking from the pressure gauge. The exchange process was painless, I sent out the old one on monday and had the new one on Saturday. The new marauder was full of air when I received it, and has held since. Plenty of rounds down range and it is more accurate than me.
