Page 24 of 24 - Benjamin Marauder Pistol Reviews

accurate with cheap CP pellets. high shot count. bolt changes to left side great for right hand shooters. great trigger like marauder rifle.

quieter. wood stock and handle. for the amount of metal and plastic. should be much cheaper then marauder rifle.

fill cap should be screw on like marauder rifle, not clip on that can fall off.

I think the whole design concept for the Marauder pistol is brilliant. The fit and finish on MP (Marauder Pistol) is very nice for this price range aigun. The magazine fed bolt action will spoil a springer single shot person. From the factory my MP trigger breaks crisply at 2.24 lb. average by my Lyman digital trigger scale. The "Fun Factor" counts for a lot , I give the MP an 8 on a 1 to 10 fun scale. Overall it is a steal or $390.00. Thanks, Sparky

First, I would make the MP in .17 caliber along with the .22 caliber. I own at least ten .22 caliber air rifles and six air pistols in .22. I shoot my .17 caliber guns nintey percent of the time. I buy bulk lots of good .22 long rifle for half of what I pay for premium .22 caliber pellets. I would rather shoot a ten grain .17 caliber pellet at 900fps than a fifteen grain .22 calber pellet at 700fps. There is no comparison in the flatness of the trajectories between the two, or accuracy for that matter. Second, I would shorten the pull on the shoulder stock to around 14" from the extemeley long 15 15/16", which makes this gun awkward for me to shoulder and attain a reasonable sight picture. Third, Why not build a quality folding stock that locks up tightly? A person would then be able to carry their MP in a computer case, that would be cool. Fourth , I would make sure every MP was assembled to the factory blueprint specifications before it left the factory. The barrel band on my MP is not centered on the barrel (like my Marauder rifle) contacting the barrel slightly and the my trigger drags enough to not allow the first stage trigger pull to return to its place if released. If these things were changed. I think the MP would be a lot closer to world class. The Crosman Benjamin MP is not quite their yet, at least in my opinion. Thanks, Sparky

I just spent two hours working on this reveiw and it dissapeared, THAT REALLY SUCKS!!!!!!! I hate computers.

I like everything about this pistol,dead accurate,very good shot count,easy to fill to 2,650 with hand pump

Magazine that comes with gun .could be a little more higher quality,and make forearm and grip optional ,made of hardwood

This pistol has alot of hunting potential.

The pistol is not that loud less noise then a Crosman 2240 The 8 shot mag holds poly mags & eun jin pellets. POWERFUL My pistol is tuned to 25 foot pounds & shooting raptors out at 985 FPS

The stock & saffty! The stock feels really cheap & hollow. Crosman will not give me a clear anser about the materal used in making the stock. They keep giving me the run a rounds. Like they were telling people it would be polymer then changed to plastic & did not tell anyone. It is posted at many websites it is made of polymer. For a $400.00 pistol the saffty should be made out of metal.

The pistol is much lighter then it looks & inch shorter then my custom 2240 with 12 inch barrel & 4inch brake. Do not use Gamo lead pellets or lead free in this pistol as they fly all over. Although I always felt if the raptors were made heavy they might be a usful pellet. The gun loves good old crosman pellets, Eun Jin .22 Cal, 28.4 Grains, Domed, H&N Baracuda, Poly Mags, Beeman Crow Magnum .22 Cal, -This pellet is great out of this pisol but you will have to fire it in single shot the Skenco Heavy Long-Range .22 Cal-

Amount of shots per fill is great. I set a squirrel target at 30 yards and proceeded to shoot. I hit the target 60 times without having to compensate by aiming higher. My starting fill pressure was 2950 psi and ended at 1100 psi.

Nothing but have the magazines a little bit cheaper because you will go through them

All I can say is get one when they are available

I was fortunate to receive one of the first Marauder .22 pistols. Mine is #38 of the first 75 made. When I opened the box I found that it was already charged to 1000 PSI. It is a long gun even without the stock but well balanced. It’s also as quiet as I expected. I also own a marauder .25 caliber rifle. The pistol is a smaller version of the rifle. It’s very well made. Your going to need a scope, it has no open sights. The grip and forearm are plastic. There is no wood whatsoever. The pressure gauge is easy to read. I’m very pleased with it out of the box.

This pistol is new. I would like to see an addition of wood to the forearm and grip. The add on stock is a standard Crosman carbine plastic stock. I’m cretin that someone will make a conversion kit using wood. This gun begs for it. The pistol can be shot as a single shot or using the 8 shot clip. I think the clip could be made a little stronger it’s all plastic and a metal clip would be better. At present additional clips are not available. When the are get a few more.

This is a heavy gun, be prepared to use two hands. It’s long and big and best of all “Quiet.” The Barrel alone is 11 inches long. When you go to refill it with air, the dust cap on the end pops off. I spent about a minuet trying to unscrew it. I use a scuba tank to refill it, so I can’t tell you how many pumps it takes to fill the air reservoir.
