Hi. I have a Benjamin Armada in .22 cal. It is the same rifle with different body work. Purchased in May 21 from Amazon for 700.00 with a bipod & CP 4×16-40 scope. Loved it from the moment I saw the box.
So far, I have added a better scope, Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6×24-50, a two inch longer Lother Walther 12 km barrel from Mountain Air (Roy), a Huma regulator from AoA, changed almost every spring in it, customized it so I can perform external adjustments. (not needed for the Marauder.) Then I drilled a hole in the air tank and added another gauge so I can see tank & reg pressure. Joined the Phoenix Air Gun club, shooting matches almost every weekend, and can practice in my yard to 60 yards without bother. At 62, one of the most satisfying things I've ever done. The best part is being able to work on it as well as shoot.
I haven't shot any other besides this one, so what's best one, I not the guy. Limited budget, having a blast.
Chasing the little black dot will suck you in.
In closing, let me just say,
IF I BOUGHT A SAILBOAT INSTEAD, IT WOULD NEVER BE WINDY.
