no pic just the story..
i saw the bastard out the kitchen window last night. i turned on the illumination on the scope on low power. he was purched on my ducks 2 foot fence looking in my direction. i got a side view of his diseased body.
with the mag set at 4x i put the cross hairs on his chest....
PPFFTT. dead.
the kodiak moving around 770fps spun him a few times throwing him back into the ivy. i haven't found him yet.
mrs. sniper will be gone 3 more times this summer.
next hunting session i'll try crow mags.  |

Marauder! Why you dirty ...
Good job. Here's the problem- if it's so quiet you couldn't hear the shot, and you haven't found the carcass- is anything really dead? (some kind of airgun Zen thing here maybe?) |

| The kodiak might be moving so fast that it simply go right through the rat... have you tried wadcutters or more domed pellets? |

i've not had problems feeding anything so far. i've only tried EJ'S 28.4 single shot. they do fit in the mag though. kinda slow-680fps.
next hunt will either be with crowmags @ 830fps or preds at 860.
the preds fit fine. |

scratch that dummy. i had only tried preds single shot. they don't fit the mag damnit. neither do EJ'S. you can load the EJ'S but the mag won't cycle. just a hair too long.
but it looooves crowmags. got a fat one the other night and it kinda exploded.  |

The way Sniper talks about that Marauder, I don't think he missed it, I think he just hit it so hard it popped into an alternate dimension.
Seriously, I've got to decide between a Disco and a Marauder, I can't afford both.  |

I love the Marauder,and want one bad.I just want to be able to shoot the Preds without cycling issues.I have a Disco on the way,and they are actually pretty quiet once you install a TKO 6.5 inch brake. |

I agree Sniper,the Maudi is a better gun.I have a Disco on the way though for the time being.Got a Killer deal,with the pump,and all.Over a hundred off retail brand new.I know they are loud,but they are pretty tamed down with the TKO brake.if I don't like it,I can always keep the pump,sell some of my springers,and get into the Maudi club.Damn you for having one!It's all your fault for making me have to get a Marauder!At least that's what I'm going to tell my wife! "Just kidding"
My only concern is that you say they don't like Predators.I love them!Any other pellet that the Marauder doesn't like?  |
