    I just got a.25 marauder in wood and it’s so pretty! Mine is on the way to airgun revision for a full build!! It’s a great rifle out of the box but who doesn’t love quiet, more shots and 75 fpe ?? I’m glad to see you doing a review on these. Stay awesome brother

    Dammit Nate! I told myself I didn't need another PCP airgun.
    Now you come out with this video!
    You've got me wanting a SAM! Or maybe a F/T Loather Walter?
    The wood on those is just too beautiful!
    Well done My Friend! ;-)
    I'm a huge Marauder fan! My .25 Synrod has just been lights out from day one! I have owned it over 10 years!
    Dime to nickel size groups at 50 yards with JSB Hades all day long, and it's not even regulated! Never a problem with it, ever!

    You can still get the. 177cal at Airguns of Arizona with the LW barrel.
    It would seem crazy to produce the Field Target version only in 22cal. Because Field Target competition is dominated by 177cal.

    I bought my SAM after watching your video 3yrs ago. These latest versions have pretty stocks! My SAM loves the 16gr pellets. AA Diabo, and 15.89 Exact Jumbo express Diablos. From 3000psi to 1500psi pellets of 14-16gr fly great. Drop below the regulated range and the 14s have fliers galore. The 16grs pellets drop to 740s FPS, but still group great. Just today I shot 10rnd group with the AA 16gr Diablo at 25yds way under a dime. FX radar chrono has the both grain weights flying 800-815 near the 1500psi mark. Seems under 1500psi and out of regulator range. Keep up the awesome videos!

    Overall one of the better reviews I've seen. ESPECIALLY with using an actual decibel meter showing us how quiet it is. Thats huge and well done. Why should a semi auto version be less accurate than the field target version? Due to more moving parts or is there other reasons?
    I was curious about this rifle (its why I searched out a review of it) until I saw the safety inside the trigger guard. Its absurd and stupid to put a safety inside the trigger guard. Its just begging for a negligent discharge. Made even worse with the power that these pcp guns are running now. While this is simple for manufacturers, its ridiculous and is going to get someone hurt. The only time you should have your finger inside the trigger guard is to get ready to and or fire it. Pyramid air replied to this comment on one of their videos. They dismissed it as saying that many manufacturers do this. I dont care how many do it, its still not safe and its a bad practice.

    between these two vs accuracy with the Walther barrel ! Decision, Decision, Decision ! 🙂

    I almost forgot about the Marauder😮. It was my second pcp once. And yes ,regret I sold it. But thats the way it went. Mine was the old version. It was in .25. with I believe the "Green mountain"(?) barrel. Awesome accuracy. Only the trigger was a bit too far for my hand. Later they made the new stocks to adress that. But these here are even more excellent. Solid as a tank. You cant go wrong with a Marauder. 🤔 With some bigbores I hardly use its time to sell them. And get me a Marauder again. .22 will do Just fine.

    Nate!! How goes it my brother from another? Randog here in Cali......just in envy once again on how much fun you get to have, as I sit here watching you just blast shit away in your backyard. Hey, ....quick question. Why is the FT model super accurate, even though the SA version is very impressive as well, I was in complete "Awe" in watching how freakin accurate the Bolt action was. Just incredible accuracy. I notice that the grouping are just tighter than the semi auto. Since the construction is exactly the same, and every thing is the same, what makes the Bolt action more accurate?? Your thoughts.
    Thanks Nate!!
    P.S. Love the Cowboy sounds!!!!

    • @AirgunChannel
      @AirgunChannel  Рік тому

      any semi auto firearm or airgun will always be less accurate. Also the Lothar Walther barrel on the FT contributes to accuracy. On a bolt action, the system is closed and the same effect on the bullet each time. (for Snipers), in a Semi Auto it can vary slightly and also the action will wear over time, also changing it. That's why snipers use Bolt action rifles. The semi bolt springing back is different than the closed bolt that never moves (against the bullet).

      True. But in Europe, for instance, in most countries you can buy them in 177 caliber without permit and hunting licence needed...etc. And ammo is cheap. For 22 here (Croatia) you need a hunting permit or gun club membership, safe for storing guns, doctors approval, police approval, gun registration processes with gun check by police gunman...etc.

      @@AirgunChannel For all these years! pcps or airguns are evolving on technology in almost all airgun manufacturers, with brand new innovations in the working parts & also the aesthetics of it, but Crosman has no improvement, there have been minor changes like better stocks! but the trigger & trigger guard is poorly made, aesthetics wise you can compare it with the JTS, Dynamic, & the Benjamin Cayden, which I think is their name brand, but was made in Turkey, by Kral! all the last 3 iv’e mentioned al though I haven’t hold one of those, but in the picture, they are more nice looking than the Marauder!!!
