Hello from Northern California. I've been shooting my whole life and have done some 10m pistol competitions but I am new to precision rifles. I just picked up a GEN II Marauder and am loving it so far. I can see myself upgrading in the future but way in the future.

Eric,
Welcome, Sir, glad you're here. Lots of knowledgeable folks ready to help. FYI, been having a problem with frustrated new members over restrictions to PM and Classified access, 10 quality posts and ten days, is the deal. I apologize if you're already aware, and for the inconvenience, just that we needed some protection from scammers and deadbeats. Best Regards, WM

Welcome, Eric.
Airguns are capable of amazing precision when compared to powder-burners. You could add a Lothar-Walther barrel to your current gun and see significant improvement.

Thanks, but I already have the LW barrel. That is what I looked for exclusively when searching. I bought it off e-bay and put a Hawke 4x32 scope on it. I've only shot it at 25 yards so far due to limited yard size but it stacks pellets at this range from a bench rest on bags. I plan on setting up 100 yards in the parking lot at work. I want to try the 100 yard standing golf ball challenge.

Nice! Looks like you're already where you need to be. That setup should serve you nicely.
Looking forward to seeing some groups.

Have you removed the trigger torsion spring? If used to 10 triggers you might like t do so, Crosman copied one of the better match triggers and the 1st 100 came with "match triggers" that spring being the difference. You should be able to get down to 4-6oz and keep it crisp. Only takes a minute and is reversible.
Also if you did not purchase a regulated model the $69 drop in reg from Lithuania is excellent.

Welcome to AGN. A lot of good information on the forums. Great choice on the first PCP rifle. Have fun and don't shoot your eye out!

This sounds interesting. I like the trigger but lighter is better so if there is a simple mod I will check it out.

What is hammer bounce and do I need to eliminate it? I'm currently getting 40 shots from a 3000-2000 psi charge (hand pumped) and it's as accurate as I want it to be.

Your hammer is bouncing on the poppet stem. This one shown is Daystates . The hammer hits the valve twice because of the bounce.

Greetings from another new member and welcome to the forum. My first (and only) PCP is a Fortitude, kind-of a poor cousin to the Marauder. A little 'trigger tweaking' was necessary for it as well. There is a lot of good information here so when you aren't shooting, spend a lot of time reading through the many helpful posts.
