If you buy a marauder and pump you are going to be in the 650-700 range,plus scope.I had a couple friends that balked at the price,but both had guns worth far more that they hadn't used in years.I told them to sell one and buy something they would actually use.I've had a few springers-RWS and Beeman and there is no comparison.Pumping the marauder can be a pain- fortunately at 275 I have enough weight to help.I don't believe a 150 pound person could use the pump.
