Refurbished, Benjamin Marauder, .22 cal

The one I bought was new and pricey. With the scope and an extra magazine it came to around $800 with shipping. I have consistently hit squirrels at 50 yards with some shots not having more than the size of a silver dollar showing. The power is great and I plan to shoot a coyote at some point with it charged to 2500 to 3,000 pounds of pressure. I also learned that it shoots at 900 ft per second. It allows it to shoot so quiet that the loudest sound is the click of the trigger when fired. It has baffled chambers to reduce sound. My former pellet gun was about $300 and it was far louder at 1000 ft per second but lacked the power in foot pounds to kill and drop the critters on the spot. It also was not as accurate. My wife has shot the new one and put one pellet through the same hole when grouping on a target at 30 yards. It is an exceptional air rifle. The only drawback is that it is pretty heavy but for our use it is fine and yes, it will drop a coyote if it is a head shot!

It arrived a day early, my first purchase with Airgun Depot., but more to come. Very good service, they added a Hawke scope to the package at the last minute (my mistake) and everything arrived very well packaged.

Pros
As for refurb. no problem, it just made the deal sweeter! Not even a scratch on the fine wood stock. Half inch touch-up near the refill valve took me a week to find! She came in orig. box, all sealed books etc., frankly I would not know the difference had it been new!! Now the performance-very very good, 1 inch groups at the gun range at 50 yards..thats first time out with Hawke 3-9x50 scope. 15 grain crosmans ok and some older Korean 28grain heavys shot best but a little robust to load, probably due to the diameter...but they hit hard!! And has anyone mentioned its quiet? LOL I get about 20 power shots per fill.

Cons
The gun is a little heavy but not bad, frankly it gives that solid, quality feel. As others have said, not crazy about the magazine and you have to pay attention or double loading could be a problem..Pay attention and mag functions fine, not a big deal.

I had wanted this gun for a while. When I got notified it was in stock, I grabbed it. I bought a decent scope that I hope does the gun justice. It is a heavy gun, no 11 year old child will be aiming this and keeping it steady. Nor will they be pumping it up by hand. Takes all of my 200 pounds to put the final several hundred lbs. in the gun. I have shot some pretty decent groups at 30 yards, once I got the scope dialed in. It took me a while and I had a lot of adjustment to do. I don't get as many shots per tankful as I thought I would. 30 shots max and more like 25 when I notice the shots really dropping. I might have to adjust some settings and see what that does. I hope to see how it performs on some pesky ground squirrels and birds soon. Next purchase will be a pad to rest this beast on. If you like airguns, I don't think you will regret buying this.

Pros
Being able to fire 10 shots at a time is very nice. Appears to be very consistent with accuracy until pressure gets too low. Nice trigger pull and checkered finish on wood stock.

Cons
It IS a heavy gun. Takes quit a bit of effort to hand pump up.

First of all, mine came in like new condition. Just looking at the quality is incredible and U.S. made!!! All I can say about shooting it is awesome, right on the money!!! As for being quiet, it has to be the number one rifle for that hands down. There is nothing much to say except I see why this gun keeps getting #5 ratings.

Pros
EVERYTHING!!!

Cons
It makes me realize I don't need my other 5 pellets guns!!! The other thing is I do not have time to shoot it every day!!! NOTHING TO DISLIKE! :^)

I think this was a blemish instead of a refurb. There was a very faint mark on the grip and the whole rifle appeared unused at all. I haven't shot it yet but would consider this an outstanding purchase with shipping faster than expected. Always good to deal with this company.

Pros
Perfect condition
