My new Gen 2 Marauder .22 - startup and impressions

For the comment about the marauder needing better grain in the stock, it’s surprisingly nice after a refinish. Wish Benjamin wouldn’t stain them with that mud color. I know it’s not everybody’s preference but I like lighter colored stocks, here’s mine after a refinishing:

That is one beautiful stock!

That did turn out nice! What finish did you use over the stain?

Marauder is a great platform. Mine's about 7 years old, and probably has 5000 or 6000 rounds through it. Just modded it with a regulator, hill springs, and hill hammer. Now, get 60 reliable shots with JSB 18 grain at about 830 fps. Extremely happy at the moment! I also have an Impact, but Marauder was first and still love the gun. Great choice!
