Think I’ll stick with the piston

[Tmburke1]

Think I’ll part ways with my Marauder. Very heavy and tedious to recharge with a hand pump. CO2 bottle set up is too spendy. 
Now I’m having a hard time finding a .25 pellet pen. Hopefully there is one our there somewhere.

What do you use a pellet pen for?

 

[Tmburke1]

Holds the pellets in a hollow tube; kind of like a straw. A push block follows on one end. Pushes the pellets into the chamber one at a time.

???mrods use a magazine, show us a picture of your mrod

 

[Tmburke1]

Yes Marauders use a magazine. However I am going to sell the MRod and replace it with a Hatsan 95 Vortex (break barrel)

The PCP discipline is just too tedious. Plus, I’ll still have my Disco ready for service

Yup pumping is tedious werq for sure and why I got my inexpensive Yong Heng compressor. If you can manage you will never look back.

I shoot my springers now and then but they don't do so well at 100 and 200 yards. PCPs rule out there.

LOL!

I guess it depends on which PCP you own, but even at my age (past 60) I don't find hand pumping to be all that hard.

In fact I recently blew a 4500psi rupture/burst disc using a hand pump! Not intentionally of course. https://www.airgunnation.com/topic/replacement-burst-rupture-disc-for-nova-vista-freedom/

I have two PCP rifles. MRod and a Disco. The M-rod packs the wallop I need for effectively dealing with game here in the mountains. Rifle is just Toooo clunky. The Disco is a quick handler and a joy to shoot. 
.22 just doesn’t get it done all the time. That’s why shortly the Hatsan 95 in .25 will be replacing the M-rod which will hopefully find a new home.

Possible 25 caliber pellet pen from Amazon. Don't cut the end too much just barely enough to squeeze a 25 cal pellet through. Can always make the hole bigger but not smaller.

 

[Tmburke1]

That gave me an idea. 1/4” piece of PVC and some sort of small dowel. Project in the wind

Consider $7.99 is for a dozen and free shipping by adding other items to make $25.
