I've got a complete Marauder setup for sale in the classifieds here. I can sell the rifle individually for <$500 if he would be interested in that.
Can't go wrong with a Marauder.

Buy the Air Venturi Avenger and never look back. It's the most bang you will ever get for the buck and with a few little mods competes with the $uper expensive guns.

Take a look at Dar air rifles. 3000 psi fill. The .22 and .25 $300. The .177 $269 and extra mags (great mags) are $20 bucks. Not much action here on them but the guys on Gta love them. You would have $200 bucks to scope it. Love my .177.

I agree or maybe it's cousin a Kral Mega (there are different ones to choose from). I have two Krals (super jumbo and knight) and hard to beat in the $500 to $1,000 range and the new craftmans series from Benjamin is for sure one to look at in the 4 to 500 range

If your buddy is ready to act right now and will accept a .25 cal, AOA has a 95% condition used, wood stocked Marauder in their pre-owned section for $399 (+ ship):
AOA Used Marauder
I've gotten loads of great used guns from AOA. And maybe only 1 or 2 which didn't meet my expectations when I received them. And AOA took those back for a refund, or refundable credit, without hassle.

I’m happy with my Umarex Origin, Does great with CPDM’s & it comes with a hand pump. I’ve done a little bit of work on it but not much. I just got it back to today, I drilled the barrel port, turned the valve stem down, turned the probe down & replaced the valve spring with a tab bit lighter spring. I’m gonna shoot it over the chrony tomorrow & get a full shot string. Shot these group right after I got it back together. Slight right to left wind.

I agree, the Urban was my first and it was so solidly accurate that I couldn’t believe it. Kills out to “range finder measured” 80 yards. I moved on but the Urban gives up nothing in practical field accuracy to my two Brococks. The Urban is a BSA PCP, easily pump able and solid.

With the Marauder I see used ones listed by Gen is there any differences that one should be aware of if looking at these?

I would look for something preowned, you can get into better quality airgun. Sometimes something like a $800 gun for $500.

Benjamin Marauder pistol. Great shooter, and easy to fill with a hand pump. Great economical entry into PCP airguns. It can be the only gun he needs to buy, if your buddy don't have gear acquisition syndrome.

The Gen 2 Marauder has a better trigger and the bolt is easier to pull back than on the Gen 1.
