these guns are notoriously accurate, and its a repeater, as to 1250 fps you might be able to find someone to tune it faster for whatever you need that fast for, then use the adjustable power for accuracy.

tons of shots,
only a hundred bucks,
even less if you can find one used,
plus all the accuracy and comfort of a gun you are already use to shooting
its not a repeater but all you have to do is load, aim, squeeze, repeat

I get 40 good shots before filling and the extra tube length is a benefit over the carbine which gives less shots.

yea that is the way i am leaning. i have seen some posts that say the marauder can do just as good performance wise, but compared to the s410, the fit and finish leaves much to be desired. you hardly ever hear bad about
the s410. now i just need to save up some money and figure out which one i want.
