Pumpe, pumpy , pump, pump, you are going to get some exorcize. Good luck with that. Or, you could spend another $500 on a scuba tank and valves. Air gunning is so much fun.

Welcome to the forum.

Pumping up the marauder isn't that bad really that is my opinion others may vary, you have to take your time anyway so the pump doesn't heat up.

Did you get a Gen1 or Gen2 Marauder? And what caliber? I just received up my NIB Gen1 Marauder (.177) this week, and have started getting it ready to tune and mod. Love these rifles; fun and easy to work on, great aftermarket support, you will love yours!

Agree ^^ I have the 25 but I have de-tuned mine to around 37-40 ft.lbs to run from a 2500 PSI fll down to 1500 and get 3 mags (24 shots) all in that same power range. Lots of support, aftermarket parts if so desired, even good regulators, and top of the line valves for the power hungry. Not to mention sock options, everything from DIY, nice wood, aluminum chassis. Your gona love your new rifle.

Jeez.... and if you tuned up, what figures would we be looking at

Rualert · May 22, 2015, 02:35:35 AM

Well out of the box it was right at 42+ ft.lbs and several over on the Marauder forum have tuned theirs up into the 60 ft.lb+ range, and with a few mods they can really be pushed. It all depends on how much you want to mod it, and how deep into the gun you want to go. I have seen the bottle conversions do some incredible things, with tons of shots. Requires that you cut the stock for the bottle conversion. The 177's have been tuned for tons of shots for field target use. Crosman's A-Team have posted their tuning method that they use for their competitions. Tons of great stuff out there, and here, just keep asking and we will all pitch in to help you get where you want to be.

Wicked Air Rifles has a very nice 500cc bottle conversion. Pricey, but big bottle...basically a AirForce bottle. I'd bottle a M-rod. Considering getting a Cothran 2250 pcp tube and putting a bottle on that.

Just my Lincolns * 2
