Benjamin Marauder Premium Combo, Wood

6. After further examination of the barrel the barrel was loose it took three full turns to tighten the barrel up, however this did not correct the barrel sag. I took the barrel band off and I put a nickel sized rubber O-ring of thin diameter on the barrel and then I put the barrel band back on so that the O-ring was inside the barrel band. This corrected the barrel sag which centered the barrel in the barrel band. This corrected the problem with the scope elevation adjustment. I re-zeroed the scope and was able to get the scope cap on. 7. After thirty shots the rear trigger guard screw fell out. I removed the the stock from the gun and found the side of the wooden screw hole had been broken out and some sticky substance had been used to try a to hold the screw and rear trigger guard in place. If they would have used a threaded insert for for wood this would not happen, furthermore you would be able to use a standard screw to screw into the insert. Very disappointed with my purchase.

Pros
AirGun Depot did an excellent job on handling my purchase and shipping was very Quick. And the Quality issues below have nothing to do AirGun Depot but maybe AirGun Depot might want to start inspecting the the products they are purchasing for resale to insure that you are selling a quality product. Extremely poor Quality Control from Crossman. It appears that Crossman does not have any Quality Control in place. 7 Quality defects straight out of the box.

Cons
1.Stock sling stud had a black rubbery substance clogging the hole up. I was unable to get the sling swivel inserted until I cleaned it out of the hole. 2. (Adjustable Cheek Piece ) Same black rubbery substance was in one of the allen screw holes and the allen head was full of it. I had to clean it out to be able to insert the allen wrench to adjust the cheek rest. 3. The stock does not have a have a relief groove cut into the stock to be able to insert a degassing rod to let pressure out of the gas cylinder. 4. The stock does not have a relief groove cut in the side of the stock to be able to adjust the air pressure. You have to remove the gun from the stock to adjust the air pressure and reassemble it before checking the velocity and accuracy. 5. The barrel was sagging down and touching the bottom of the barrel band. By the time I zeroed the scope in I could not get the scope cap back on. The accuracy was poor.

Received the gun pre charged and ready to shoot, except for mounting the scope. I was happily surprised with the high quality scope, and easley mounted the scope. I had it sighted in within 30 shots. So nice and enjoyable to plink without having to adjust your position with a break barrel gun. I'm glad I invested in a compressor as It's so fun and quick to shoot, you'll be charging it often. Last invest in extra magazine's as you'll not want to stop shooting to reload after only 10 shots. After the first day I ordered 3 more magazines.

Pros
High quality gun at a remarkably great price.

Cons
Front barrel mount has a 16th inch gap all the way around, causing a slight uneven pattern. I wrapped some tape around the inside of the mount, and reinstalled the mount. This tightened up the pattern. Also a cheep finish on the gun stock, so I sanded off the old finish, stained and applied 3 coats of lacquer. Wow the gun looks awesome now.

If you're interested in shooting on the cheap this is the best deal for you. So many different rounds to play around with problem right now is finding them a bit of a challenge, but compared to powder and lead,primers $29.00 for 500 pellets is still a great way to enjoy your time behind a scope. Spend the money invest in a compressor, play with different pellets and fine the one your gun likes and you can stack shots on top of each other.

Pros
So happy with my .177 that I ordered.22 Both are fine shooters out of the box.

Cons
Instructions are lacking glad there is plenty of u tube videos on how to load and tune the gun. My first pcp so it's a little more complicated than expected.

This is a very accurate air gun it will stack pellet on top of pellet straight out of the box. Will drop rabbits and squirrels with easy very happy with my purchase. Shoots diabolo heavy 25.39 pellet well

Pros
Great for plinking cans or taking small game though I doubt it won't take larger with a well placed shot will go thru 3/4 plywood

Cons
None

Excellent - easy to understand and operate - lots of power for a 22 - multiple pellet selections which makes it very versatile. I like all the support videos available too - I need that.

Pros
Powerful and versatile - accuracy is superb - feels good in my hands - comes up nicely to aim point and trigger is excellent right out of the box(got lucky here)- 6x24 mildot a great match on here is perfect.

Cons
Wish they would send a degassing too with it - and the new depinger is good for noise reduction but sounds like a bell - 2" piece of vinyl tube takes that out.

Got it in .25 call , all I can say is it is a very accurate rifle shooting jsb heavys out of it and have dime groups at 50 yards , got the combo with the scope could not be more pleased with it and air gun Depot

I'm very impressed so far. After mounting the scope, I sighted in inside my 4 car garage. The loudest sound was the pellet hitting the 2x8 behind the target. After about 30 shots, it was roughly sighted in and needed a longer range for fine tuning, but before I could do that, a few pesky ground squirrels wandered into my pasture. Three shots, three dead squirrels at about 35 yards. Batting 1000 so far. Now, the loudest thing was the hammer strike. Just a little metallic click -- unbelievable! The scope is also great. It is a variable 4x16 with an adjustable objective and lighted crosshairs in red or green with adjustable intensity. Fantastic combination. I also love the 10 shot magazine for follow-up shots (none necessary so far). I bought a large air tank with the rifle and filled it at the local dive shop, clearly the way to go if you can afford it. I had to call in for help about the operation because I didn't realize that the substantial hammer spring cocking occurs while pulling back on the bolt. The telephone help was also very satisfactory.

Pros
Really accurate, Unbelievably quiet.

Cons
If you need to carry it hunting, it's a little heavy but it does come with a nice sling.

Cannot tell you how happy I am with this purchase, like others before me have said, you cannot go wrong with this rifle. Mounted the scope and had it zeroed within 10 pellets. JSB Diablo Exacts. Super quiet and easy to pump up, as far as I was concerned anyway. I purchased a MK4 Hill Pump and had no trouble at all. The gun came with around 900 PSI in it and ten minutes later of easy pumping I was up to 3,000.

Pros
Everything as far as I am concerned

Cons
None

Just got this PCP and a hand pump. It does take a bit of a workout to get it to 3k psi, however, once you're there, it doesn't take too much to keep it between 2k - 3k psi. Only had the chance to roughly sight it in, however, it is EXACTLY what I was looking for in a backyard air rifle - super accurate, super powerful, and super quiet - I'm amazed at just how quiet this gun is! It's pretty heavy, but I wouldn't trade it for anything else I've tried - worth every penny.

I bought the second Marauder for various reasons. It performs as the first one I bought. Within the box the rifle came in was a target showing a 5 shot at 10yds. My shots at 25 yds were just about the same. I have noticed that the pressure gauge has NOT indicated a full 2800 psi fill. I have the 90 ci tank with 4500 psi but when I fill my Marauder, the air gauge ONLY shows a rating of 2500. I feel that Crossman should make sure that ALL parts are working properly before sending them to the customer.

Pros
Good for residential use, very quite, nice woodstock with the engraving and finish. P.S. would recommend a tripod and good scope.

Cons
Crossman needs to address the O-rings within the workings of the gun. Holding air pressures of 2800 psi, with the close tolerances is hard on them. The fill adapter on the first gun went bad after 15 months. The slide in clips needs to be looked at as I tried to load a Diablo .25 pellet to be fired. It got jammed halfway between the mag and the barrel. I had to drill the mag apart to get the damaged pellet out. The pellet (recommended by Air Gun Depot) had a burr on it, just enough for the bolt to catch it and twist it sideways & jam! There must be a easy way to get these mages out by not destroying them.
