got one on the way... .25 marauder PCP. supposed to be a real tack driver and good for hunting. i'm hoping to take out a small piggy here soon with it. anyone tried hunting with airguns? im excited to try and take something larger than a rabbit. grabbed me some 43.2 grain pellets just for a nice headshot. and i want to see how bad it will smack a rabbit with a 43 grain pellet lol.

 

Wow it has an external pump? That must be a beast. What kind of FPS will you get out of that? What PSI does it operate with?

 

i will definately have to chrono it. it should easily spit a light .25 pellet around 850-900. i hear it can shoot .177 over 1,100 but i dont care to shoot those tiny pellets. i'm after the knock down power i wanted a big bore gun, but sound became a factor. this gun comes with a factory shroud. i will try and chrony it. i would be happy with low 700fps with a 43 grain pellet. for target i plan to try pellets between the 25grain to 34 grain. if i want to sling them out really fast i can drop in some 14 grain bullets but the loss in accuracy wouldnt be worth it.

fill pressure is 3,000 psi but some crank it up to 3,200 psi.

 

Is that 3,000 psi per shot or does it have a multi-shot reservoir?

 

multi shot.

half way down this page is a cool video of a guy dog hunting. takes some pretty long distance head shots (for a pellet gun)

Lol awesome. I've always wanted to get a serious one just never looked into it that much.

 

I've hunted smaller game with a .22 cal pellet rifle, but never really tried anything bigger than squirrel, rabbit, etc.

 

Dont know if your going to get into modding it, but theres a TON! of bitchin performance and cosmetic mods for that airgun.

Take a peek into this Crosman/Benjamin PCP: Marauder Magic eraser mod....

term to know, for your shroud = lead dust collector. Think bout it....
Some forums will ban you for using the typical name for air rifle shrouds.

Theres alot more, be warned modding that pcp is just as addicting as your truck.

 

heck, we did squerrel and rabbit as kids with $35 walmart bb/pellet guns. it definately wasnt a humane kill but we got the job done.

 

thanks i will check them out...and i hate my truck
