Page 2 of 38 - Benjamin Marauder Synthetic Reviews

Good weight, trigger pull feels crisp not too much creep. Accuracy is good with pellets I've tried so far but am still working on finding just the right one.

Rifle is a bit louder than expected. Thought would be quieter for the price. Not a big fan of the rotary clip (plastic) but once you get the hang of it, its not too difficult. Just don't get in a hurry. Should come with more than one rotary clip for the price and also should come with a degassing tool!!

Would have given it 5 stars overall if not for the loudness and no extra rotary clip and degassing tool.

Quite and accurate. You also get a decent shot count with stock tune in .22 cal. Velocity is around 870 fps with JSB 18.13 gr. I can hit a penny taped to a target at 70 yards. Confident taking a poke at vermin out to 100 yards. This is not a slug gun. Does not like slugs.

Nothing.

This is a well made PCP. I have owned this gun for 7 years. No issues.

great PCP for me

Safety should be moved from in front of the trigger. It has never been a problem but there are better places to place a safety at least I believe it should have a clear red for hot which it does not have. Good PCP safety should be fallowed with any PCP so its not a big issue in my mind. I just don't like putting my finger in the trigger guard unless I am ready to fire.

You also need a good sight and air pump.

Accuracy with the LW barrel is incredible. Stacks ten shots inside a 1/4" at 30 yards of the bench. Lighter weight than most PCP rifles. Build quality is very good (not excellent) in this price point. Noise level is so low the pellet makes more noise hitting the bullet trap than the gun. Perfect for backyard target practice.

More finishing/sanding of the stock seams and edges. Nothing major but a couple are annoyingly rough. Charge handle does not feel smooth. Might take some time to wear in but compared to my older Marauders this one is kind of stiff. However, at this price it is still quite acceptable. Safety lever could be better. Somewhere the was a change from older models to this one and it does not feel as natural anymore when selecting the firing position.

Accuracy does not seem to change much with different pellets but POI does. I found heavier weights can move the POI low and left almost 1/2" at 30 yards. Still very tight groups so adjusting aim to compensate is easy.

Everything!

Nothing!

Excellent rifle in this price range.

Very accurate right out of the box!

Nothing

It's good looking and very accurate.

I have the woods walker model which is much lighter than this one. This full size marauder is pretty heavy.

It dosen't like to feed the whole 10 round magazine. The last 2 or 3 pellets get pinched and won't load.

If you are considering a PCP, just buy this one. It has plenty of power for squirrels, is quiet as a church mouse, and is incredibly reliable. I received advice to avoid regulators because of the increased complexity, and I ignored it. That was a mistake. Just buy this PCP airgun and you will be happy with your purchase. I would recommend the upgraded barrel, more for the scope mount that is much more universal than the dovetail mount that it's hard to find rings for.

larger air take so that I don't have to fill it as often. Keeping it below (yes, below) 2500lbs seems to offer better accuracy.

I have a RAW airgun at more than 3x the price, and I prefer this one for most purposes.

Lighter then my .177 in wood.

Buy it. Now.
