IS ANYONE USING THIS?

The Benjamin Marauder air rifle can be tuned. You can adjust the trigger and the rifles velocities for different fill pressures.

A few people do, and seem to like them. Others have tried them and ended up taking them off and selling them, It has to be a good fit for your use - while it does provide more air and shots, it comes at the "cost" of adding a little less than a pound of weight to the far front end of your gun. Given that most of think these guns are a little on the heavy side, that is not something that a lot of us are willing to do. But if your use is mostly benchrest, or you have converted to a bullpup, the ergonomic impacts are minimal.

Some also don't like the appearance of it, as it makes the fill port cap extend past the front of the stock shroud length - to get back to "normal" looks, a longer shroud - or at least an extension - is needed, and then the gun is even longer too.

You probably wont want to trip with that on the end of your gun.
99% of the time it's the shooter, not the gun.

In the 25 cal, it gives maybe 4 more shots at your current tune.

In the 22 cal, it gives maybe 8 more shots.

But it is expensive, adds lots of weight to an already heavy gun, and adds length to an already long gun.

There are better ways to get more shots per fill - like re-tuning for a different shot string. A chrony is the first optional accessory any PCP owner should buy (after the essentials of gun, scope, mounts, pellets, and fill set-up).

Ray
25 W-rod | 08 shots @ 70 FPE -2% | 3100 fill
25 M-rod | 40 shots @ 35 FPE -4% | 3100 fill
22 M-rod | 51 shots @ 25 FPE -4% | 3100 fill
17 M-rod | 50 shots @ 19 FPE -4% | 2500 fill
25 P_rod | 16 shots @ 29 FPE -3% | 2100 fill

All right, it doesn't look like I'll be getting one of those. You're right when you say the Marauder is already a little heavy
