This Wildcat 0.25 cal is in excellent condition - low use, it has approximately 500 pellets through it. Selling because it is too much power for my needs (and my yard). Accuracy is what has been advertised for this rifle. The pictured scope/rings are not included in the price. The rifle is...

I have for sale a generation 1 Marauder. I don't keep records of every tin of pellets I go through, but would conservatively estimate less than 1K shots through this rifle. It has worked consistently with what you have likely read about this guns performance - see typical targets in...

Thanks to all - much appreciated.

Other than posted prices for currently available rifles/products, where can one find going rates for a given rifle/scope, etc? I've searched classifieds, but there doesn't appear to be a whole lot out there for Gen 1 Marauders anymore. I'm looking for a guideline for current values - don't...

The first air rifle I owned, I purchased from a friend back in about 1972, a Slavia. It was kinda beat and I'm sure the seals needed work, but what did I know back then - it was fun. Didn't have anything new until about 1986, bought a Beeman R10 - it was great, but due to a deal I couldn't...

I know the OP question regards filling options, but this relates directly. What kind of shot count are folks getting for 22 or 25 with the "compact" format?

Yup, just the thought of the simplicity, lighter weight and lower cost is mighty attractive. Deserves a try, at least. I have a strong hunch I'd like it. I'll watch for the annual SWFA sale.

Might be overkill for your use, but I really like the glass/bright optics of the Legend Ultra HD 4.5-14 x 44. I have this in mil-dot and do like the etched reticle thickness (not too). Bought it for a Marauder - for some reason manufacturers aren't clear about minimum focus in the specs, so I...
