WOOT
My first PCP and one of the best.
Anyone looking for a M rod NOW is the time.
I know 3 different websites selling them for $399 (that`s what I paid)
I have a few questions though.
One is how long can air stay in the gun,or is it better to let the air out each day?
Two where can I find a pump for a good price,or if anyone here selling one? |

Way to go!!!! You are gonna love it. They are very addictive I have 5 pcp guns. The answer to your question is you want to leave air in the rifle at all times to keep seals in goog shape and to keep any fowl out of air tube like dirt etc. What cal did you get. My Question to you is where did you biuy at 399.00 Both mine were 499.00. Get you a good Hill or FX pump . Check around and you will find them on the web or classifieds. Might want to get ya a used air tank at Scuba shop. Enjoy your new toy!!! |

What adapters would I need to use a tank,and woyuld I be able to buy all that at mac1.
Im going to be going to mac1 on the first.
We should meet up if your not busy.
Also the hill pumps where can I can those at?
As far as where to get a M rod for under $400
Go to Nextag.com there are a few sites with like 5 in stock.
Here is the link actually
http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&q=benjamin+marauder&cid=9486058080827301468&sa=title#p
It seems like 4 retailers for a supply on the 24th.
Please I ordered from had 10 now have 6.
Even better I seen another place that has the Marauder for only $385 wow. |

If I have to spend that much on a tank,I might as well get a pump.
Don`t really want to carry around a tank hunting in the desert.
I was hoping to get a tank for like $75 or something
Anyways what PSI should the Marauder be left on when storing . |

i keep 2000psi at all times. call and see if tim is open on monday. i'm not sure if he is. pm yourdaddyjoe and ask him about a 4500 psi carbon fiber tank. that's what you'll need for a max fill.
if your hunting in the desert how much would you shoot? this gun gets 30 good shots per fill. once you have a tank you'll never go back. something for down the road maybe. 
you fill it at your car then go back and refill. 
what glass are you gonna put on it?
my bsa with rings was $150. |

Cool...your gonna love it!This is going to require some self restraint on my part though....the price is going down...gotta sit on my hands"gettin shaky",perhaps splash some water on my face,and lock myself in the storage shed outside of WI FI range to keep from hitting the checkout button.I need to hit an AA meeting...(Airguns Anonymous)I'm getting the itch to fill another spot in the closet....  |

You can use a compressor,to fill it"Not your garden variety"They are big bucks,were talking over $2000..However PA is supposed to start selling an electric unit sometime in 2010,that is supposed to be wallet friendly.The tank,and yoke is your best bet.
I personally use the pump.it's not hard at all,at least for pumping up to 2000 psi,which your Marauder will be set up for,from the factory.You can adjust it to 3000,and you will get more shots per fill.The Disco is a 2000 psi fill,so what I do is shoot down to about 1200 or so,"my power curve is about 1800,down to 1300".This gives me a good 30+ good shots..then I just top it off.Takes about 50 strokes from the pump.
Some people like the pump,and others don't,so you have to find what works for you,and what your wallet can afford.That being said you gotta post the pics when you get it!Getting a new shooter is one of the best things ever.If I'm not careful here coming up,I'll have some pictures up as well..the pull of the PCP darkside is strong...  |
