Two incredible PCP rifles and not an eye to shoot them with!

Here’s what’s happening. My left eye, my former dominant shooting eye is pretty much history for any kind of clear vision.

Three weeks ago the surgeon following up on my left eye, examined my right eye and found a tear in the retina. He fixed it with a laser, and told me to come back in a week. The next week he found three more spots and had to laser them. Come back in a week he said, so I did. He found two more spots and decided to laser the entire retina in place.

Now I can’t see to drive, all my vision is too blurred to see clearly, much less do any shooting. He said my right eye may take up to a year to get clear vision back. The problem with laser repair inside the eye is that it destroys cells and damages nerves when he literally “burns” a scar to hold the retina in place. There’s never a guarantee you’ll get 100% back after it heals.

In short, I can’t see squat for the foreseeable future. Yes, I can see close up with reading glasses out of my right eye, if I limit my time of use.

Today, UPS will deliver a fully customized Marauder carbine that I ordered many months ago. The machinist/gun builder, a man of good reputation over on the Crosman forum, had some real bad times take place, and I eventually gave up on receiving the rifle. I ended up telling him to forget the money, and try to get his life back in order. Classic woman problems, and the guy was in a dark place in his life.

Well, he recently contacted me, had gotten rid of the woman, got a new job, and, by way of thanks, finished my rifle. He included a bunch of really fine additional mods on it to make up for the difficulties. I’ll post pictures later today when it comes.

I now have $3K worth of PCP rifles and can’t see to shoot either one. The Marauder is repayment for a kindness, and I can’t sell it. You’ll see why later today when I post specs and pictures. There is nothing like it anywhere.

I’m considering selling the Edgun, so someone can at least be using it, and IF my right eye vision clears sufficiently, I’ll probably order a short version next year.

Anyone interested PM me. Remember this has a tiny hairline crack in the paint, as posted earlier with picture.

Hoot

PS: I’m not posting this elsewhere because I really want a forum member to have first chance at it, not just someone passing through. It cost me $1612. Of course it’s considerably more valuable because I owned it.
