Just curious if there is one airgun that stands out as a clear leader? I’m new to the hobby shooting a Marauder which from my short experience would say could be the least favorite.
What would you say?
What would you say?
Most popular HFT air rifle?

You want a Tuna with good taste ?
"Most popular" would be a bit hard in FT. If you could pry loose someones prized Tasco Custom shop 50x & turn it down, THAT would be a great HFT scope indeed- tried one- not the latest greatest but best.
Let it be known at a match you NEED a scope, believe I was using a Simmons White Tail classic (with the BIG mil-dots a rabbit could hind behind) and a fellow shooter who was serving Lunch later at his house said he might have something. After lunch off to his shop complete with way over 100 used scopes.
Also something to be said for how Paul in LA likes to run shoots, type rules. Pick a focus range and never touch it again during shoot.(which would lend to an FFP if spending money). Shooting a regular fixed 10x and naturally the right shooter can take 1st.
Do just go shoot, try, and ask around.
Or, does your budget allow you to go big$ ? March? Used hand select Tasco custom shop.

Haha, don't short change the Marauder. Philip Hepler won the Hunter Class at the Nationals last year with a Generation 1 Benjamin Marauder with a $200 UTG Accushot 4-16x56 scope.
But the Steyrs, Thomas, and Daystate Redwolf would be considered top of the food chain.

If you look down the line of a bunch of FT shooters, you will see all sorts of rifles. If your Marauder shoots good, use it. Lots of major matches have been won with them. Good luck and have fun.

I’m looking for a used Redwolf. Shot one for the first time Friday. It was for sale but had walnut stock. I want the red or blue laminated.
My wife told me today to just buy a new one. Now that’s a good wife.
