This is what he said about the Marauder

Went by Crosman and spent time with heads of engineering and marketing discussing their new rifle, the Marauder. I have to say that this is a company that both knows and listens to their customers and is developing a great line of hunting rifles. As has been mentioned by others, this rifle is a multishot with a 10 round magazine and a fully shrouded barrel. The stock is a nicely finished hardwood that is a complete resdesign over the Discovery. It appears that between the Discovery and the Marauder they have an excellent entry vehicle into the market. Like the Disco, the Marauder has been optimized to work at a lower (2000psi) fill pressure, it can also be adjusted for optimal performance at higher fill pressures (up to 3500 psi). The adjustable match trigger felt very nice, but will wait until I can get my hands on the gun to comment further. Multishot, barrel shroud, adjustable power…. Even though I haven’t shot this gun yet from a conceptual standpoint this group is getting their ducks in a row. Crosmans VP of marketing stated to me again that the company is in this market for the long haul and not looking for immediate success. They win my vote for the most responsive big company in the field.
