Update: now with video scroll down a few to get the youtube link…

Pretty much a copy past of what I posted on the yellow forum…

Marauder #26 in 22 caliber came via UPS yesterday! My first shot was into the lawn and I could not believe what I heard. I thought it was a missfire or partial fire because I saw the pellet go into the grass but all I heard was a ping and murmur/humm from the Maudy followed by a sound from a tuning fork (low pitched hum). I went back to my piano and figured it was in the key of “g”.

I don’t have a chrony so I used the next best thing…a 1/4″ plywood book case with another 1/4″ used for the shelves and fired at a downward 45 degree angle. Well, I got the same ping and it went clear thru the plywood like it wasn’t there!

For my next shot I didn’t pull the bolt all the way back (needs some getting used to for me as well as some wear-in) proceeded to push the pellet into the chamber and nothing happened when I pulled the trigger. I figured out that I didn’t pull the bolt all the way back. So to prevent another pellet from entering the chamber, I pulled the bolt back (all the way this time), removed the magazine and fired another shot at some plywood. Pretty much does the same damage as my stock TalonSS but the report is quieter (GTB on the TSS). To me this gun’s trigger is very smooth and the overall shooting experience is “buttery” (except for the bolt action that needs some breaking-in).
I was in the market for a Daystate repeater but after seeing and getting this Marauder, that gap is now successfully filled for me happy.gif
