Blizzard vs. marauder..

But yeah a frame extender might be difficult with the talon frame since it would have to be rather long.

I compared the new barrel to the stock 12 incher and the holes for the set screws are definitely not as deep so its not that I mixed up the screws I was very careful not to. I suppose it’s possible I did but I will have to take a look at that tomorrow.

It looks like an incredible intro gun for new people and a great hobby gun. I’m hopeful to find out what kind of accuracy it gets and I hope the velocity with the gun is using crosman premier pellets (the 14gr ones).

That sure is tempting. It seems from the review that the MTC is a better scope with more features but it was too much money. I don’t care about the extra cost I just want to get a nice scope that I’m going to love for a long time and I think the MTC just barely comes out on top over the sidewinder 30 if you were to disregard money.
