It has been a while since I went hells blazing, stuffs to the wall crazy, so I figured it was time … There And Back Again I spent last week in Calgary, which explains why the site experienced a severe slowdown. Thursday and Friday marked the first time in over 150+ days (8 months) that [...]
I got in some trigger time yesterday with my new .22 Marauder; the new replacement from Crosman. Did I mention what a stand-up company Crosman? Not only do they backup their warranty, they made things right for me by sending me a replacement. I have read on the forums (mostly yellow) that Crosman has sorted [...]
My new Marauder arrived fresh from the factory today. Actually it would have been here yesterday, but no one was home to accept the signature confirmation package from Mr. Brown. This was a super quick resolution by the fine folks at Crosman. I sent my July Marauder (709xxx357) to Crosman on Oct 6 via UPS, [...]
Crosman is now offering a Single Shot Tray for the Marauder. I ordered one last night. At $14.99 the price is not bad at all, but shipping charges of $9.84 are a little over the top. Hope this arrives a few days after my new Marauder. I love the repeater magazines; in fact I have [...]
The Crosman warranty department told me that my Marauder was beyond repair. Actually, the quote from the service rep was that was “a good amount wrong” with my Marauder. Crosman is shipping me a brand new replacement; should be here next week. Hats off to Crosman for being such a standup company and making things [...]
My Marauder completed its journey to Crosman earlier today courtesy of UPS. Unfortunately no one is available in the warranty department today; not sure if that is the case for Friday in general or just today. So now the real waiting begins. Will be interesting to see how quickly my Marauder is repaired or a [...]
After failing to fix the leak in my .22 Marauder, I decided to send it to Crosman for repairs. For what it is worth, I would like to say that despite these problems, I am overall very pleased with the Marauder. This is my first experience with a PCP, and I think the Marauder provides [...]
I have not posted any .22 Marauder groups, so I decided that a post or two was in order. I got in a lot of trigger time yesterday (and am still getting more today) as I tried various things to fix my leaking Marauder. While I do have a problem with my Marauder, there are [...]
It looks like my new .22 Benjamin Marauder has a leak, which sucks considering this was my entry into the world of PCP. Plus I cannot seem to stop the bleeding. It looks like any time I pump the gun over 2000 psi, the pressure slowly (or not so slowly depending on how these things [...]
I came across this informative “first look” Marauder article at airgunweb. If you’re reading this review and you’re like me, you’ve already read every other review you could find on the internet, so let me attempt to describe just how quiet it really is. The “ping” of the hammer and spring releasing the valve is [...]
Today my Hill pump replacement screws arrived from Straight Shooters. That was fast! To recap, my order arrived last Thursday, but the Hill pump packaging was missing the screws that attach the base of the pump to the shaft. I am sure this was not the fault of SS, but they quickly sent me some [...]
I shot a couple of clips – Beeman Crow-Magnum and RWS Meisterkugeln (wadcutters). The Crow-Magnum pellets sprayed a little; at 22 yards they probably covered a half-dollar size area with one really bad flyer. The Meisterkugeln pellets did better, offering up a quarter sized area mostly in a semicircle pattern. One thing of note was [...]
Going to ATL today for the first Falcons home game. Who cares if it is preseason? I am ready for some football! I had an opportunity to run about 4 clips (40 pellets) through the Marauder. I am glad I got the extra clip because I below threw clips and a rapid pace! I am [...]
First Marauder impressions. Completely random; things I thought would be interesting to others interested in a PCP or Marauder. My .22 caliber Marauder is 709120357, which I think means that it is #357 of July 2009. No screws The Hill hand pump did not include the screws to connect the shaft to the base. Needless [...]
Impressions forthcoming, but there was a bit of initial disappointment. The Hill pump was missing the screws that connect the base to the pump shaft, which makes it almost impossible to fill the Marauder’s reservoir. Disappointing at best, but Straight Shooters said they would send me another set of screws. Happy Friday!
