Marauder platform has been out a dozen years, or so, and was a very popular starter PCP. While still cherished by some aficionados, the popularity of the bolt-action, dovetail scope mount and long/heavy PCP design is fading. Lots of mods are available but monies spent are rarely recouped. WM
Yeah all that may be true however eveytime I take one of my Mrods out to shoot I always marvel at its performance , trigger and ease to shoot well ….the Bolt action only sucks on a bullpup.
So I beg to differ …. Old not obsolete!

I do not get the "old" thing either since the gun is still in production. I have PBs that were last produced 100 years ago and a few that were designed over a hundred years ago yet are brand spanking new. What gives with air gun people and "old" is kind of weird.

These are new, they are only a few years old, still in diapers almost:



This is old, 71 years old to be exact purchased the day I was born for me and designed in the 1890s and is the longest produced shoulder firearm, the Marlin 39A:



This is new yet old, just out of the box, designed by JMB in 1892 and in this case produced by Rossi since the 60's and I just bought it, a Rossi R92 (1892) in .44 Magnum:



The M-Rod does not need a huge tank hung on it to be relevant, it just needs a hybrid or aluminum air cylinder to give good balance and light weight. Bolt, side lever, the bolt works fine with the cocking thumb assist, even better than side lever.

As stated, aficionados exist, however, those considering modifications to an older platform should be aware that waning consumer interest might make resale, if ever desired, difficult. WM
