everything about this rifle

equip this gun with a weaver rail from factory

this gun for me is incredible. zero break in time, sighted in in 4 shots. have shot 13 different types of pellets thru my .25 cal. the worst pellet, the crow magnums still were under 1 1/2" ctc at 50 yards. 8 shot groups. i was shocked to find that the predator polymags are the second best pellet, with a one hole 8 shot group at 50 yards about 3/4" dia. these results are straight out of the box with factory settings. fill pressure i use is 2900psi. excellent gun for the price. i couldnt be happier. if your are sick of dealing with springers or gas ram air guns. you will fall in love with this. my first hunting shot was an insta kill, head shot on a squirrel at about 35 yards. it was dispatched before it dropped the nut it had in his mouth.

I have purchased the .25 and love it. My particular Marauder likes pellets from 31 grain to 35 grain. Like most air rifles you have to find the pellets that work best in your particular rifle. With that being said you should also consider purchasing a chronograph and do a lot of testing and tuning. But don't let that discouraged you this is a great gun right out of the box.

Not much. Good gun for the money.

Read the manual and when you are done read it again. Then go have fun.

Fit and finish, adjustability

Bolt action stiff, but that should get better with use.

This gun is very accurate out of the box . Great gun to get started in the pcp gun world .

Very accurate out of the box shooting h&n barracudas 21.13 out to 58 yds 3/4 groups,40 yds 1/4 group shooting .22 caliber

Easier velocity adjustment and step by step manual clean and adjustment and when and why to adjust

Do your homework before buying, my .22 was quite but for back yard friendly go with .177 did not like crosman premiers 14.5

I purchased the Ultimate Bundle from Pyramyd Air. All components have worked as advertised. The rifle is deadly accurate firing the JSB Match Exact King Diabolo pellet, maintaining 1 inch groups at 30 yards and 1.5 inch groups at 60 yards. The trigger is very smooth, especially when compared to my Benjamin Nitro Piston Trail. Starting with a 2900 PSI fill, point of impact is consistent through 14 shots with a slight drop in elevation on number 15. Filling this rifle with the bundled Benjamin hand pump, while a little time consuming, is not as bad as many report it to be. Especially after the initial fill is accomplished. Recommend some gym time for those of you having trouble with this aspect of the PCP experience.

The bolt action is a little "crunchy" and not as precise as it could be.

This is my first PCP air rifle. It is everything I hoped it would be. While a little more work than a break barrel gun, it is definitely worth the effort for the gains made in power, accuracy, and effective range.

Very quiet and accurate.

I had to return my gun because it leaked air.

Very good customer service from pyramid air for the return. Very stress free.

Super accurate, very quiet, easy to work with, hardy, easily the best PCP air rifle on the market.

bolt takes some time to get used to, but works great.

Just a wonderful gun, i would recomend everyone to buy this rifle.

good quality. fun to shoot. nice trigger.

nothing

very nice pcp air rifle

The .25 new style is a great gun. Fit and fell are great. Accurate out of the box. Green Mountain barrels have improved the .25. Sound level is backyard friendly. This gun can produce great FPE.

I have thoughts about the flexing of the barrel. Understanding the theory of a free floating barrel but the storing of the gun is critical. If adding the barrel extension it does swag the barrel. Different barrel clamp maybe and larger air capacity.

Great gun for the money for a pcp. I have no issues with the accuracy of the gun. Many tweaks out there that at inexpensive to improve the gun. This gun can be converted to a bottle gun to increase shot count and air supply. Tube extensions are available as well. Very playable gun for the home tuner. FANG

The Marauder is very well made and accuracy is incredible. I sighted scope in with 6 shots and placed all 8 pellets from the clip in a group of less than an inch from 40 yards. The rifle is quiet and powerful.

Nothing.

Only problem has been that I didn't fully cock it and a pellet was loaded without cocking. Removed magazine to cock without putting another pellet into chamber.

Accurate, quiet, really packs a punch!

This gun is HEAVY for a petite woman like me.

I recommend a scuba tank for refills, unless you're ready for a serious pump workout! (Honestly, hand-pumping gets old really, really quickly!)

Nice size, very quiet, baffles actually work, so much better than the benjamin discovery accurate Get the JSB exact diablo for one hole groups at 25 yards..

Nothing

Jest awsome

The power and accuracy are impressive. The shrouded barrel is amazingly quiet- the only thing I can hear(besides the impact on the target) is the striker hitting the valve.

A bigger reservoir for a higher shot count, I'm gettin about 25 good, consistent shots- plenty for hunting, but for an afternoon of target shooting, less time pumping is better!

It's worth the extra investment to get a tank for fill ups.

I liked everything about this rifle. When I opened the box I was greatly surprised how much better it looked in real life. The rifle feels great also.A definite keeper.

I would like to see a Picatinny rail on receiver.

They will be very happy with the Benjamin Marauder .25 synthetic

This Is my first pcp air gun ,it was very easy to sight the gun in and so far depending on the pellets the gun will shoot 1/2 inch groups all day long. I just wish I would have bought one along time ago, there light years ahead of the break barrels i've owned.all thats left to do is find the pellets it likes the best and I'm sure the groups will tighten up a little more.Very good quality for the money.

I'm not crazy about the clip but it has worked fine so far.

A scuba tank is a must for me i tryed a hand pump and it just doesn't cut.

Light, accurate, and fair priced. Shoots better than I can hold it. Very accurate rifle, very easy and fun to shoot. This is a great hunter.

The floating barrel is a concern, but seems fine and holds it's accuracy. For-end of the stock seems flimsy but seems to do its job.

Great value. I would suggest a tank or a better quality hand pump for refilling like the Hill Pump MK3, Up to 3300 PSI. This pump is work, but very manageable, if you don't wait till the gun is below 1 bar to refill.

Good quality, simple to use, comb riser works great, extremely accurate, great trigger, stock is very comfortable to use, the loudest noise you hear are the pellets hitting the target(bulleye), I like this gun as much as I liked my Benjamin Franklin Model 347 back when I was kid.

Not much, maybe make the magazines out of metal instead of plastic, I haven't had any trouble with them though, they work good.

The only thing you need to be careful about, when the gun is new the bolt is a little stiff, when you load a pellet go all the way through the magazine if you don't and try again you will double load pellets, if this happens just push them back out with a cleaning rod. Also do not use a brass brush to clean the barrel, the O-Ring for the bolt is in the loading port and it could damage it. But this is a great gun, it lives up to all of its hype.

Amazing accuracy,very quiet and reasonably priced

Nothing

This gun is a must have. My previous gun was a break barrel, which I thought was great until I bought the marauder. WOW what a difference. Just be sure to get an air tank the hand pump gets tiresome.
