First impression of 22 Marauder
Posted: Wed Jun 02, 2010 10:52 pm
Got my 22 Marauder today after weeks of research. I got the 10 for $10.00 deal,3 Mags and the Benjamin hand pump. Don't know if it was the 10 for 10 inspection or I just got lucky but the fit,finish and function are perfect. Mounted a 4X16x40 Center Point scope ( I have 3 of these and they are great for the price ) The gun came with 2200# of air. It was tested at 2500#. 890/925 fps with 14.5 gr. Discover hollow points. I did not add any air to sight in at 20 yards. Took me 5 rounds to hit a 3/4" dot with the next 5 rounds. I was impressed. I then picked off 6 doves offhand from 35 to 50 yards. 5 of them fell straight down. I missed the first 2 because i was holding a little high. Very flat from 20 to 50 yards with only 2000#. Now the negative part. I am 68 yo and pumping this thing to 2500# is a chore. Because of the reviews I read I bought a 80CF 3000 psi al. scuba at a locaL Dive shop. I ordered a Kingman yoke with Foster conecter 5 days ago from Az. Air Guns. It has not shipped and they will not respond. I paid $99.00 plus shipping. Probably My last purchase from them. I will stick with Pymamid in the future. I have 5 German guns that cost way more and the quality is superior. This is my first PCP and will probably not shoot the springers much any more. I bought a Benjamin Super Streak about 6 months ago. It is a grear hard hitting Springer that someone can get a great deal on. I love the 22 Marauder !!
