Crosman is pretty sad indeed,....just look around and you see even small companies coming out with new model consistently, Crosman has been riding the Marauder coattail for decades putting out a slight new version of it once in awhile .......like every 6 years or so
Best they could do is gettin a Turkish company to build couple guns from them, pretty sad on the overall skeem of things IMO

How about their Icon? It's basically a beeman Cheif II with a different stock and when I called crosman for parts one day and asked them if they merged with beeman they said nope. Well, they all get their parts from the same places I guess. The tube, breech, barrel all look identical. Sound exactly the same with the drrrrtttt door stop sounding hammer bounce!Crosman is pretty sad indeed,....just look around and you see even small companies coming out with new model consistently, Crosman has been riding the Marauder coattail for decades putting out a slight new version of it once in awhile .......like every 6 years or so

I think they are all built from a small pool of parts probably in the same facility and assembly line. Avenger —-origin. DAR (as much as they might deny) JTS. Beeman——crosman——bara. How they keep these things so cheap.

I dont know why people dont just copy the wildcat stock like the dreampup and akela did. That's a nice looking stock for a bullpup imo.It is different. It's taken the ugliest features from various guns and put them all into one turd.
I thought all Edguns looked pretty neat...until I saw this one.
Looks like somebody took a chit on a mini grenade launcher,but hey at least the lever is not next to your cheek.

Spoken like a true fan boi, let me guess.. you have a panthera on pre-order and think that it’s the most beautiful rifle made to date

I saw the specs in the YouTube video and it weighs 9.1 pounds. Add a scope and you're well over 10. I'm a big guy and no weakling either, but I'm tired of all these boat anchor guns.

I'm with ya on the weight of these guns. If a stormrider or a disco can be lightweight and have thin wall tubes and not explode, why can't they make a gun with a larger tank that's not 4lbs of thick wall steel. It's my biggest complaint for my Kral guns is they're heavy as hell. Who wants to lug around an 11lb rig with a scope that's capable of keeping up with the gun?

I never would have bought my Cayden if I had realized what a tank it was. The only thing it's good for is long range bench shooting. I like my Stormriders and my Bullshark much better.

Guys that think a PCP is better than a 22lr for hunting seem to think nothing of lugging some of these things around. For the most part we just have to deal with swollen and heavy for quiet and safer.

I think PCPs are better for some hunting in some situations. I still prefer one in the 5 to 6 pound range myself. I have several that fit the bill and do very well for me.

I'm over the bulky, bloatedness of them. If BSA can make a compact and lightweight mag fed repeater, so can other manufacturers. I've been shooting my 13 fpe bottle gun more lately than the boat anchors. Building another 2260/disco variant and its under 6lbs with a 4-16x40 on it.
