I really, really, really, really, really, like my 1st generation .25 Marauders. I liked the first one so much that I bought a second...quick before they go to a cheap barrel is what I was thinking. My first is tuned for power; around 850fps with the 25gr King . My second is tuned to give 750fps with the hunter Extreme pellet (I found that it takes 750fps to make them open reliably). That tune yields considerably more shots (32 to40). That's plenty of power to bump off pests out to 35 yards.
The .22 and .177 Marauders had so many problems that I bought BSA and AirArms .22 guns and I really like those too. I just didn't want to deal with the hassles of an inaccurate Crosman barrel.
Crosman could tempt me with factory installed LW barrels. My Talon SS and AirArms S410ERB and S510Carbine all have LW barrels and they shoot far better than I can.
