Crosman on the Move
If you haven't noticed lately, the Crosman corporation is on the move with new products designed to re-establish the company as a force in not just the kid/youth airgun market, but in the adult airgun market as well.
First, of course, there was the Benjamin Discovery, Crosman's first PCP airgun that also features a dual-fuel feature allowing it to work on CO2 as well. And now, fresh on the heels of the Discovery is the Benjamin Marauder, another dual-fuel airgun that has the online airgun world all abuzz!
The Marauder has some of the more desirable features that airgun shooters enjoy. Here are just a few of them:
* Fully adjustable, match-grade trigger
*10-shot automatic indexing rotary clip
*A built-in pressure gauge
*Quick connect foster fitting complete with cover
*A custom-choked barrel with internal shrouding to keep it quiet!
The Marauder is an attractive gun that only a few folks have enjoyed at the time of this blog entry. Crosman continues to fuel the interest by selling the first 100 guns to a lucky number of people who took all the rifles available in almost record time.....just a brief portion of an afternoon and all were claimed! These lucky 100 people are making quite a few posts about their new guns that have begun arriving, sharing their impressions with the general forum members. So far, the vote is an overwhelming "yes" to Crosman's latest effort.
As soon as possible, I will be taking one into the field. I hope to get one for spring squirrel season where I'm at, but if not, rest assured that I will give a full report on my impression of the Marauder and its capabilities. I'm mulling over placing it in competition against my Air Arms S410E model that I have yet to shoot. The two guns are remarkably similar in their function as well as their look. Some other members of the airgun forums have posted similar comparisons already, but everyone will have a different take on how each gun feels to them.
Crosman has put several videos online on their website, discussing the features, loading procedures, tuning functions to adjust power and shot count, trigger adjustment, and a sound test of the Marauder's report....which is very quiet from what I can tell and from those I've talked with concerning this rifle.
So start saving your pennies....realizing that you won't need as many of them as you might for one of the European models that has all the features that the Marauder has. And drop back in for some hands-on reports about the Marauder's behavior as I take it into the field for testing!
