Here's to hoping they're addressing the .22 barrel accuracy issues.

That's amazing. I've only had one lackluster experience with a .25 Marauder, but I've never stopped looking at them and the results that people get with them. I am exceptionally curious to see how these will work. One would think that if they're making a "Field and Target Edition", which sounds very similar to "Field Target", that they may be represented with pretty decent barrels. It's shocking, in a good way, to see a company put out less expensive guns with some of the higher end features. In this case, I'd say a very high end feature, since the only gun to date that I know of with an externally adjustable regulator is of course the Impact. Can't wait to hear more about these and especially reviews about the actual production pieces.

I think the gen2 .22 barrels didn't have the issues of the gen1 .22 barrels. I know mine shoots great in .22.

My gen 2 .22 barrel was crap as quite a few others I've heard of. However im excited for this new Mrod. Don't think I'll get one as mine are modded heavily and can shoot as good as I can but it was stated these are the most accurate Mrods ever. Now if that's true or not we'll see but maybe they have some upgraded barrels.

I wonder what the cost will be for the regulated version. For a little over $200, you can buy a Marmot Militia barrel in .22 cal and have 1/2" groups at 50 yards all day long. I can get 30 shots per fill at 30 ft lbs with an ES of 20 fps. I've decided it is not worth regulating my Marauder to get a little better consistency with less power.

I am not so sure they are going to make any significant changes in the barrels. By virtue of them adding a regulator, the pellet velocity will be more consistent. At a 100 yards, a 1.9 percent variation in speed makes for about a 1 inch difference in drop (at 25 cal, around 840fps average velocity, with 25.39 grain pellet). In other words, with a regulator, vertical accuracy will be improved, with no change in the barrel whatsoever. I like the fact the new regulator can be adjusted without taking the rifle apart (unlike other regulator upgrades which require a partial disassembly of the rifle to adjust them). Easy changing of regulator pressure seems like a great feature at first blush, but remember, it also may mean re-zeroing the scope when you change the pressure (velocity). At close distances, such as 25 yards, the change in velocity will have a less significant affect on point of impact.

Sounds like Crosman is aware of barrel quality issues and is working on resolving it with in-house expertise. If that's the case, along with a regulator, the new model could be a game changer.

Ballistic,
If they raise the quality all of their barrels to be as good as the 25 Caliber Green Mountain barrel, there will be a lot of happy owners. If they exceed the quality, they will have ecstatic owners. I took my 25 Cal marauder to the range on Sunday. Those shooting powder burners couldn't believe the groups they were seeing at 50 and 100 yards with the Marauder. Several came up to take turns shooting (and shot equally well).

If they not some pounds off the wood stock and length then maybe the mrods would be worth it until then Crap!

Hey.....anything to make these things cheaper is good in my book. Will be intresting to see what the price point ends up being.

I suspect the Field & Target Edition with regulator is going to be at least $100 more than a standard Gen2 MRod. I think a $100 premium is reasonable but anything more than that might be hard to swallow and starts competing with regulated entry level guns from the likes of FX like the Streamline... Just speculation at this point..

Does any know if the regulated pressure is externally adjustable or is it factory adjusted and you can just turn the regulation on a few off? I'm trying to decide whether to put the money instead towards a Lane regulator and LW or Marmot Militia barrel.
