Thanks again for the information, I may just start with a Marauder and see where the addiction takes me...

One thing I picked up over on the Talon board was the use of pure lead bullets. Not the same as the "hard cast" bullets we use for powder burner reloading. Several of the big bore long range shooters over there are casting their own bullets using only lead to keep them soft enough to spin up properly and stabilize from an air gun barrel. I have seen from 25 cal to 257, 7mm, 308, 9mm, and 45. One of the guys shooting a 257 posted video of some 256 yard shots on soda cans. Think about that, and where the options could take you. How about a varmint gun that could easily make 200 plus yard shots on say prairie dogs, or a monster for hog hunting. Starting with a Condor platform, you can really build almost anything.
