Benjamin Marauder Semi-Auto (SAM) PCP Air Rifle, Wood Stock

It's semi auto. Really quite quiet. Very backyard friendly. Adjustable cheek comb. Pretty accurate WHEN it operates properly.

Magazine feed worked great for about 50 shots. Then it started jamming. Magazine would regularly become jmed in the weapon. I am using Crossman Premium pellets. VERY DISAPPOINTING!! I DID NOT BUY AN $800 PCP, only to have to return it within a week. The magazine is a big problem!! I would NOT recommend this weapon to anyone until the magazine issue is (proven to be) resolved.

I have three Benjamin air guns. A Trail, which was billed as being accurate...it is SO not. A .457, which is looking good so far. And now this dissapointment. Looks like Benjamin engineering & Quality Control are lacking! 2 out of three are duds????? I really wanted to like this gun. I wasted a lot of time and money outfitting a huge piece of junk!

I like the semi-auto ,the wood stock,and the trigger is ok for me any ways ,

Like many have said a way the cocking bolt could stay open to load the magazine,its heavy but im in a wheel chair and i bench shoot so its not a problem for me, make cocking a little easier its hard to cock,

I greased the Detent Ball and now its so easy to cock, before i was pulling it all the way back till it wouldnt any more,but now i learned its just a quick pull and its cocked,i have two shooting ranges ,one at 40 feet and the other at 60 feet, i have all kinds of different targets to shoot at, also my accuracy is all over the place, seen youtube videos where they shoot right on target ,it is so much fun to shoot i have 9 magazines,my only real complaint is that it shoots all over the place. But let me tell you i get all my guns from PA and i have bought a lot from them but if you dont have alot of money like me ,they finance thru AFFIRM fINANCE FROM 3months to 12 months ,i usally go 12 months but pay it off earlier.

High Shot Count, Wood Stock with adjustable cheek riser, shrouded barrel, Foster Fill, Manual Safety

Needs to be able to HOLD OPEN THE BOLT!! How are you supposed to clean, or replace the breech oring if you can't hold open the bolt? Requires three hands to load, one to hold back the charging handle, one to insert the magazine, and one to HOLD THE RIFLE! Get a bipod, you will need one! Get extra orings, if you fire the 11th time on an empty magazine, you will blow the oring out of the breech 1 out of 5 times.

Cheek RIser cut out is unsanded, you can still see the saw tooth marks. Trigger is OK, not great. Accuracy is OK (3/4" @ 25 yds, 1.5" @ 50 yrd) 875 FPS for 60 shots 14.3g CHP. After 1500 shots the trigger stopped resetting, The sear needed to be polished. After 500 shots the charging handle started to stick, needed to be worked on with a dremel, it was out of spec.
