Marauder still good?

[davhowrd]

Is the Benjamin Marauder still a good rifle to buy or is it an outdated design? Probably still one of the quietest rifles from the factory, might be the only plus.

With some tuning and mods, you can easily see between 60 to 100+ fpe in a 25 cal. And still maintain accuracy beyond 200 yards.

Has anyone tried the semi-auto Marauder?

My local dealer said they jam.

I don't care what anyone says ,the Marauder is an awesome rifle!

Wow. I don't even know where to start.
In the power-burner world, the ultimate 'tinker-toy' is the 10/22, right? If it's made, it's available for the 10/22.
In the airgun world, that's the Marauder. They're not outrageously expensive to start with. The design is simple. It's efficient, accurate, and acceptably powerful ---right out of the box.
But....If you have but a modicum of mechanical ability you can turn it into an absolute screamer, and for not that much money!
Over the past decade, I've owned six. I'd build one out the way I wanted, someone would see it and want it, I'd sell it thinking I'd buy something better......
and I always seem to come back to the M-rod.

If you love pellets, it's an easy gun out to 100yds. If you're better than average, it's good for more.
If you're a slug-slinger, you're good for 100+ any day of the week.
For better or worse it's the only gun I own that will feed any piece of lead available. Including Polymags!
Would I recommend one today? Definitely! Positively! It's a GREAT first PCP. It's a great platform for us tinkerers.
and......pests absolutely HATE it!
