Hey guys
Just joined the site, planning on ordering an 'entry level' gun tomorrow and had a couple questions.
From what I've read here/there/everywhere, a Benjamin Marauder will suit my needs perfectly.....for now lol.
I need to eradicate some pesky varmints, specifically rats and gophers and ground squirrels oh my. Looking over the options I think I'll be getting
the Field and Target version/synthetic stock/22 cal. Walther Lothar barrel. I was going to order one today but when browsing the various
online stores I was seeing Marauder models I hadn't noticed before. And now I'm questioning my choice of model. I'm interested in hearing your opinions
on the other models. And the auto-indexing.....how is that achieved? Is it rotated when the bolt is pulled back? Is it air-powered somehow?
Another question I have is about the Picatinny rail to mount the scope on. Is it long enough/robust enough to mount a serious scope on? Specifically, I was toying with
the idea of getting an ATN Thor thermal to mount on it, although I just saw another thread here that puts a big question mark on whether that's doable or not.
