Page 6 - Benjamin Marauder Pistol Reviews

Good trigger, light weight, well made.

A bit too pellet picky.

Beeman Kodiaks grouped the best for me. Around 1 inch for an 8 shot group at 30 yards.

It feels good in your hand. Shoots very good out of the box.

A taller stock for your cheek rest would be better.

After market moderators make it even quieter.

Gun arrived with a bad leak, it lost 500 psi over night 3 nights in a row DOA.

I purchased .22 cal Benjamin Marauder PCP Pistol, mostly for target practice, Out of the Box very accurate.

Make a .177 cal,

Purchase the 20 shot service is worth the price. My 12yr son is shoots freehand, 8 shots side by side and same hole with the Benjamin Marauder PCP Pistol and UTG 1.25-4X32 1" Handgun Scope. We use high wadcutter precision pellets. Similar results with Crossman hollow points but the paper tears more.

This pistol was my introduction to PCP, and I'm hooked. No recoill. No noise. And multiple shots without having to pump it up or reload. Small and light, but powerful and accurate enough to humanely eliminate small pests. I don't know of another pistol that can do what the Marauder Air pistol can, at any price.

I'd like to see this use the same 10 shot magazine the Marauder PCP rifle uses. A larger reservoir, maybe using the foregrip and barrel surround to hold air; and slightly longer barrel to maintain good look and accuracy.

Don't forget you can't use this without a specialized high pressure pump. It may look like a bicycle pump, but puts out 3,000psi. A shop compressor won't work either without a costly add-on. So count on about $150 or more to use this pistol. The Benjamin hand pump works without any additional adapters or fittings.

Easy to pump with a hand pump. Lightweight and maneuverable. A million aftermarket parts are available for it. Shoots JSB 18 grains really well out to 40 yards and maybe a little further.

I'd like to be able to buy it in other colors or even just a real tree camo one without having to buy the scope that comes with it. I'd like to be able to add a rail to the foregrip too.

Super quiet. The first two mags are so quiet that the pellet impact downrange is louder than the gun itself. As the air chamber gets lower on pressure you get a louder report.

quiet

valve system functions poorly above 2500 psi, seriously underpowered below 2000 psi, cheap materials thoughtless design and poor construction continually bring Marauder back to the repair table, poorly balanced and difficult to carry

very disappointed mislead by the 5 star rating and sales pitch, unable to activate star rating system 1 star, 1 star, 2 star

Seems accurate. Only shot twenty rounds Gand then It stopped shooting!!!!!

Have one that worked and a little less noise with the .bolt operation.

Buy at least one extra magazine. Eight shots go by fast.

My first PCP air gun. Love it so far. Came with 1000 psi. Took about 60 pumps to get it to 3000. I shoot 24 shots between 3000 and 2000. First and last just as accurate at 15 yards. [basement range setup] Consistent 8-shot, dime size groups. I put a 3x9 scope on gun and bought an AR-15 style stock and adapter. Made the gun easier to adjust for my shoulder and hold. Holds pressure at 3000 psi when I leave it for a few days. Love the trigger. I have made no adjustments to the factory setting. Feels great the way it came.

Nothing about the gun. Works great. After using the standard stock and AR-15 style stock, I would make my initial purchase with the AR-15 stock. Just more adjustable and comfortable.

Don't be afraid of using a hand pump on this pistol. I am sure the larger Marauder rifle is harder to fill, but this pistol is not a problem. I am 6'1" and 220lbs. I would expect that someone under 150 to 160 lbs. may have a harder time.

This gun is crazy accurate, it is by far the best gun i have. it is my the First pcp gun, I like everything about it.

Nothing

The air pump that i bought along with the gun is only for the young, it is a good pump, But not for the young or the elderly. The money it cost for the pump, for a little more money I could have bought a scuba tank and adapter. Witch I did. It will make the gun a lot more enjoyable.

Everything, best air gun I have bought so far for the money. I shoot this more than any other gun that I own.

More options for better stocks. The stock stock is good and works well, but It would be nice to have a nice wood forearm and rear stock to match, for a good price.

Mine took me a lot of pellets to find the ones it really likes, but after I did it is accurate out to 50 yards. Great for hunting from 10 to 50 yards if set up right. My best pellets are B&N hunter,barracuda match, crow, and polymath shorts.

Good power and accuracy, I usually get 3+ mags of shots between fills. Very quite, I plink in the backyard all the time and I don't think my neighbors even notice.

It gets a little heavy with a pistol scope on it but it improves accuracy.

Gun has some power, make sure your aware of what's behind your target and backstop

Nice gun

Needs more power haever spring won't open valve up all the way at 3000pis if you go over the 3000 psi buy just a small amount all that open stock and they can't even give you a place for extra mag they need to do more thinking how to improve could be a great gun instead of nice gun

It's light compact accurate what's not to like . I use it as a carbine fits in a backpack replaced the stock screw with wing nut and washer . Makes it easy to take a part in the field with out any tools . Added one strip of black duck tape to butt of the pistol grip this gother rid of the play in the stock people complain about not a big deal .

Nothing much maybe more air . But the shot count is plenty for hunting .

This gun is really great for spot and stalk hunting . Plenty of power for small game out to 50 yards even a little more the trick to getting the hold over right .

Nice right out of the box and with just a bore sighting was knocking squirrels out the top of trees the next day.

Firm the grip when in carbine mode with another screw

I bought this after watching Rick's review on YouTube, He was right, like this better than the Marauder.

I really like this pistol. Previously I have only owned multi pump rifles and while I prefer them over break barrels this pcp pistol is certainly changing my mind. Straight out of the box I can shoot between 30 and 35 pellets on one charge of 2500 psi. After ordering additional clips I can go target shooting without having to reload or additional pumping until everything needs to be reloaded and recharged. Small varmints do not stand a chance with this tack driver after I installed the Red Dot scope and got it sighted in.

I needed to adjust the trigger for my preference, but that is expected for each shooter. It does not have hard sights so some form of scope in necessary.

This pistol is heavy, so the addition of the stock is very helpful. Its like having a small rifle.

High quality and very accurate.

Add open sights.

Dealing with Pyramid Air was great. I am new to air guns and their educational information made me confident in what I purchased. Great prices and quick shipping. I am a very happy customer.

Quiet, portable, easy to shoot, accurate.

Change the way that the carbine stock mounts. It's too difficult to put it on and take it off in the field. It's just 2 screws, but still, when it's cold and you drop one on the ground in the woods consider it gone.

R.Arms Innovations makes some nice aftermarket stocks for the P-Rod.

Shoots every pellet I have tried accuratly. I have a Bug Buster scope on it, this is a little short and would work better with an extended dove tail out the back. I zeroed it at 20yrds and with a few pillows as a rest I am hitting a dime to quarter sized group over and over again. I have shot the Crosman Premier, H&N Baracuda Match .22 Cal, 21.14 Grains, Predator Polymag .22 Cal, 16.0 Grains, Pointed, and JSB Match Diabolo Exact Jumbo Heavy .22 Cal, 18.13 Grains. All with the same grouping without having to make any adjustments to the scope. I have not tried any longer distances yet.

Make the AR style stock standard with a foldable option. The current one is very limeted, I tried it but prefer to shoot it without the stock.

I liked the feel, the cheap magazines ( Compared to my FX PCPs), the way it cocks, the adjustability of power, the fine triger that is adjustable, and the accuracy.

Put a front and rear sight on it.

It is a fun gun to shoot.
