I have two Urbans. I like them so much I bought a spare. It is a superb little rifle, excellent all metal and quality build from BSA of the UK. It is also accurate. Very accurate. And reasonably powerful at 22 to 26 fpe. There is not much to tune on it, hammer spring adjustment is hidden. The trigger is okay and can be upgraded with the GT triggers. The shot count is upward of 30 good shots on a nice, flat bell curve. The more you wind the hammer sping in, the steeper that curve becomes and skews also. The rifle is also very compact and fairly loght. But, where the Urban looses to the marauder platofrm is adjustability, power, parts and service support and the Marauder is much quieter with the easily accessed shroud system vs. the easily damaged and not so easy to replace molded on "pickle" suppresor. And the Urban is significantly less money than the Marauder. he Urban .22 may be more accurate than the standard Crosman barrel .22 Marauder but experience has proven to me that the .25 Marauder with Crosman barrel is equal to or more accurate, but that is a .25. The Marauder has by far the better trigger and is significantly more quiet. Both rifles are simple and easy to tear into and again the Marauder is the winner because it uses hardware store and easily identified O-rings and has parts support a phone call away. The Gamo Urban does have somebody answering the phone and at least for me on two occasions I was able to beg and plead and beg some parts to be ordered. And the Gamo lady who answered the phone was very nice.
Edit to add and not directed to any person. There is nothing junk or junky or cheap about either a Marauder or Urban. You may not like them, they may not be the right rifle for your needs, for any of a myriad of reasons people pick and choose based on their preferences. As soon as I hear Marauder/Urban and junk, POS, cheap, in the same sentence I am going to discount that review. Unlike some very expensive rifles, the Marauder and in particular the Urban, do hold their POI when carried about. Well, remove the Urban plastic barrel band, ha, it simply needs no support, the barrel and receiver are surprisingly rigid which is why the little rifle is very accurate in use.
