    Benjamin Marauder Regulated .22 Video Review by AEAC

    
This will be my last post in any of the review threads. I was under the impression that this was a review, not a commercial. If it is "Steve's job to promote" the products,.... he sells.....then I totally completely mis understood the nature of the videos....they are commercials and not...

    Umarex Gauntlet: Super Tune Kit Installation (VIDEO)

    
Mine does not seem to mind leaning on the barrel as well...I just lean it in the corner walk down to change targets or whatever and I don't have to mess with a thing....this is indoor at 25 yards....so perhaps it is too close in to see anything? I don't know. Outside I usually leave it on the...

    Gauntlet .22 pellet preference

    Mine inside of 30 is not picky at all, just about anything but the most rot gut pellet will do quarter sized groups at that distance. At 50 it starts to get a little more picky. I have been out of about everything in JSB land so all mine has had is H&N stuff. Barracuda match it seems to like...

    Benjamin Marauder Regulated .22 Video Review by AEAC

    I have to ask why would I want one....My current Mrod with "one of those" 22 barrels shoots as well as this one...I would say better, I can adjust the power on it....and it knocks on the door of $700. Now I look at the Gauntlet, a gun that costs half as much, will group better. Has the same...

    AEAC's regulated Marauder teaser

    I am sure it will be fantastic....little will be wrong with it, and it will be the answer to all of our "cheap" PCP air gunning needs.

    Besides accuracy...

    This will be a fun list....I could care less how loud it is, I shoot center fire rifle out my back door....no one cares. I think if I had to say one would be weight.....but really I am a bench shooter now.....perhaps ease of cocking if it is a spring gun.

    Why are they not more popular?

    
Crown is the new kid on the block....with some "new" features....features that the Marlin Mod 60 has had for decades, but put it in an airgun, and poof new....well it is new for airguns, and I expect it works well for the same reasons it works well in rim fire. I think there are very few guns...

    You might also look at this stuff....I got some stuff of theirs as well....much cheaper (cost wise) over the stuff at HD or lowes, They are VERY well built, heavy good steel, I am really amazed at the quality of them....good stuff. I got some tall cabinets that stuffs go in, as well as two...

    Inexpensive and easy to assemble backstop

    
The key is a little space between the carpet and the backstop....that air space will quiet it down.

    Inexpensive and easy to assemble backstop

    
When it starts to fall apart too much...or you just say lets do a new box....suggestion as I just did this: Wear a mask....the rubber actually gets dusty....I am guessing rubber bits and lead dusts....not that great. Forget about picking up the box and dumping it....mine was in such bad shape...

    Why are they not more popular?

    I read his question as to why "high end" guns are not popular....not just FX. If it is why $1000+ guns are not more popular see my post, if why FX is not eeler1 is on the money....if for whatever reason that small market that is the $1000+ air gun buyer thinks....or better FEELS that the gun...

    Why are they not more popular?

    
This is spot on.....you can get a "real" gun for that. Taking deer and other large game is IMHO thought as marginal at best. Punching paper....why when a decked to the 9's 10/22 will be less money and be a real gun. In most places air guns are thought of as real guns, so again why not just...

    Umarex Gauntlet: Super Tune Kit Installation (VIDEO)

    I am looking forward to your video, I am real happy with how mine shoots, 820's and it groups real well.....so it hitting harder is something I really don't care about....now shot count, that one I am going to think hard on.....almost 50 more shots on that tank is just mind blowing. It brings...

    Why to wear safety goggles...

    I wanted to relay another safety glasses story....not really airgun related, but eye ball related. I am restoring a 1963 VW Bug, think body off pan....think if it was not a 63 I would not bother.....really just something to do and spend money on. Anyhoo..... I have just welded in an inner...
