doctorxringBenjamin Marauder PCP Pistol/Carbine
I've been having a great time with my new Marauder PCP pistol/carbine. I picked it up on sale for $300 a couple of weeks ago. It has turned out to be an exceptional air gun. Very light and handy. As pictured here with scope it weighs 5 pounds. Very crisp and light trigger. Very accurate. 25 shots at 630 fps average per 2600 psi fill. 8 shot rotary magazine. I give Crosman/Benjamin two thumbs up on this gun.

carpetman1doctorxring---Put up purple martin housing. This has two great advantages. If you get martins, they are great to have--only eat bugs. I really enjoy them. The housing will also attract lots of targets--sparrows, starlings and gracko's. Go to
www.purplemartin.org to learn more. I keep my peep sighted Sheridan handy and mostly use it. Sometimes I drag out my RWS model 52, but that thing is heavy.

Hot CoreNice report. My buddy Quag had some interest in one of them, but we couldn't find any references to how well they shot.
Nice shooting too.
