Benjamin Marauder .22 Caliber PCP (pre-charged pneumatic) Pellet Rifle, No leaks and is accurate. Includes Three 10-Shot Magazines and a De-Gassing Tool. $350/Shipped to your door.
{New these go for $483 (Amazon), with one magazine and no de-gassing tool.}
For approx. 40 shots;
With Crosman 14 Grain (the standard weight pellet for .22 cal.) 956 fps
With JSB brand 'Heavies' 18 Grain 909 fps
The Pictured Groups were shot at 25 Yards.
You will need either a 'high pressure' air hand pump ($60 up on Amazon/ebay), Or a Scuba Tank (can be found used at a very reasonable price), Or a Carbon Fiber (SCBA) Tank, Or a shoebox high pressure air (HPA) compressor (avail. through Amazon/ebay) to fill this Rifle. Note a tire pump/compressor will not fill this (pressure is too low). I ponied up for a carbon fiber tank and get it filled at the local scuba shop.
While I feel an HPA air hand pump is rather onerous to fill one of these I keep seeing posts by 60, 70 and 80-year-old men who say they use an air pump to fill their PCP Rifles... Guess they were made of tougher stuff back then.
I used this for Skunks and other predators around our place at night to keep from waking up the family, as it is very quiet and much safer to shoot than a rimfire (where I live).
I have this listed on another Forum, so I will go by timestamp.
