My First Pcp was a Benjamin Maruader. This was 2010. Having had around 20 springers in my stable. This first gen m rod was my first ever pcp. .22 cal. Those first Maruaders were hit or miss mine was somewhere between and I promptly sent it away. To be tuned and it was. ( Greg Davis was the tuner if any can remeber that far back )

After that it was a floating barreled shooter ( it was a comprehensive tune ). It shoots 14.66 HN. @ 910 -920 fps
( 5.52or 5.53 head ). Nickle size group at 50

I have some modern carbines and bullies nowadays and they are fun. A couple days ago I broke out my old first gen Maruader. Still holding air and shooting pretty accurately. It’s simple and it’s still good. I even like the way it looks. You always remember your first love.

I’m sure others here have had a marauder so share your love for them.


mine seen here with a Barska 3 x12 / Bipod and tank trirail

I have the gen. 2 in .25 cal. (green mountain barrel) with a Boyds stock on it, I think I've had it for about 9 tears and have never had to replace any "o" rings yet. It is a tack driver! Yeah it's a tad heavy but I just love this gun! There's a reason why this gun has been around so long, screw the naysayers.

I know right. Great trigger, quiet, accurate , highly tunable. Yes it’s heavy -ish and not so powerful. It was the every man’s gun at almost entry level cost.

It and the Discovery help to usher in the “PCP for everyone”era.

It took a while to convince myself that I needed a PCP. After reading many old threads on here from some well seasoned veterans, I got a Marauder in 2019. Then added some internals like the Huma regulator, Hill light hammer and matched springs, it soon became one of my favorites. I have over 15k rounds through it. Its been super reliable, easy to work on and I should be able to get parts for at least my lifetime. I've come close to "upgrading", but the Marauder does so well, its hard to justify.
