Benjamin My 1 of 1 Benjamin/Crosman Marauder FT rifle.

Congratulations, that thing looks like a piece of art.
Thank you, I am super stoked about it. Benjamin went over and above for sure for a "give away contest"
You know what that pattern/dip is called? Pretty awesome looking.

I am not sure, it looks really good, at first I thought it was a bit flashy for my taste but it grew on me very quickly.
Sweet looking rifle buddy! I sure do wish they would offer a gen 2 side lever. I got a couple that I would convert. Best of luck.

I can understand people wanting a side lever, I dont mind the bolt action on my PRod at all but surely do prefer a side lever.
 
It is single shot platform, I am ok with it though , for its intended purpose its going to be just fine!

100% agree.

Single shot is ideal for those of us (or for disciplines like field target) that care more about hitting what we're aiming at in the first shot.

I actually prefer single shot over mags. When I use mags it feels like I'm loading them more than shooting.

Mags and their operation also have the occasional tendency to slightly deform pellets which is no bueno in competition

Even when plinky sometimes I find myself in a more rhythmic state when single loading, last rifle I had with a SST was my Taipan Compact. Everything was just so smooth and precise.
 
Well I had a little time to spare after work so peri and I went and enjoyed the 17* with 6mph winds and the snow before the sun went down completely.

This is a very, and I mean very new territory for me. I have never shot a projectile this light.

I zerod it very quickly (will fine tune this later) and got to printing.

I have A LOT of learning to do about ft and figuring out my hold overs etc.

All in all I am impressed, the trigger is superb, the cocking action is super smooth, this is a very, very nice rifle BUT... 55 yards looks far with a 10.5 gr projectile LMAO 🤣
