The bench-rest tests sound phonied-up, but believe me (or bet me), they're not: 90 feet, 5/16" group (center-to-center) of ten rounds. Repeatable. This is with Crosman Pointed 14.3gr pellets. (I've tested those, too, with a .01gr scale, and it's not worth sorting the lot out --- they're very, very consistent, with statistical outliers that don't really bear too much notice.) I believe (this is based on my experience) that the combination of the pellets' skirt thickness and alloy, combined with Crosman/Benjamin's barrel choking, yield those results.

The shroud over the barrel makes it look like a 0.50 buffalo rifle, which I like a lot! Pressure manometer is a nice touch, as is the screw on end cover for the air intake valve. I would improve the design and quality of the trigger, as it seems to come from an ordinary...Read more 21 of 22 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Benjamin Marauder Air Rifle air rifle (Sports) Great rifle, accurate, very quiet, a bit heavy if you install a good scope, air hungry, 20 shot (powerfull ones) and i need to refill again from 1000 to 2000lbs, lot of pumping, (about 70 to 80 strokes) make me tired very quickly, so if they offer a elecrical pump in the future i will buy it!!! make this pcp perfect....
Like Crosman Premier's hollow-point... Benjamin have great products.. |
