My Benjamin Marauder

[ezmuzic]

Couple of pics of my Marauder in .22. I have barely fired it, went all out with buying this, the scope, magazines, dive tank and case and unfortunately never get to shoot it!

It really is a great PCP but not if you don't get to shoot it!

beautiful gun , you can just cuddle with it if no time to shoot ? Why no time to shoot or maybe you have to travel to shoot ?

Google shooting clubs near you i see at least 3 or 4

I hear you. I have such a passion for airguns, with some decently unique and fun guns, but it's a 3.5 hour round trip to shoot them here in Chicago. If I were still single, I'd be shooting every weekend, but alas other obligations take precedence.

I shoot rifle and hunt so no time to really get into the airgun

I shoot all my other guns there, just no time to be shooting air rifle now, mainly shooting AR15 for hunting.

I hear you, the time I have to shoot is taken up with my shotguns and AR's. These are my hunting weapons, I really thought id get into the PCP but unfortunately I just used it for plinking in the yard and then packed it back up into its case, it was a very expensive toy with all of the items!

I'm lucky to have a 75 yard range at my shop where I work. One of my co workers is a shooting freak more than me so we shoot at least once a week. Either before or after work. Hopefully you find some where near you to go and enjoy your new rifle.

I have a bunch of rifles that I rarely get to enjoy so I feel your pain. A couple of plusses about the marauder is it is quiet and if it's down tuned it gets even quieter and you get more shots. It depends on what you find and your living situation. Say you find a 20 yard convenient shooting spot for paper and light plinking you can dial your rifle down and do it. I have a small 13 yard range in my basement where I can tune and sight scopes in and occasionally shoot lower powered stuff.

What barrel do you have on it? Thanks. S7

Apparently you can't shoot airguns at home, you don't care to shoot as much as most airgunners do, you're not trying to improve your shooting skills, and/or you're well enough off to afford thousands of rounds of centerfire ammo.

All that said, "don't get to shoot it!" isn't a bad problem to have.

Absolutely can shoot in my yard, I have a 30yrd range for archery. I just never get to shoot anymore unless I am at the range, I'm fine buying rimfire for my 22lr or 223 for my AR at the range but its a waste to have this great setup sitting in a closet and not being used by anyone, feel free to look at the listing when it gets posted.

Good luck, maybe make some time for a couple weeks before you post on the classifieds. You might change your mind.

The good news is, like "real" guns, once you sell them you've typically lost only 10-40% of your investment. Some prefer to consider such losses to be the price of RENTAL. But being first and foremost a Realist, I consider such losses to be what they really are, bad investments. I find an easy way to quantify exactly how bad to be relating any given loss more or less proportionately to the percentage return on investment.

Negative ROIs can be depressing. Condolences.

Good luck with the resale! Mrods are pretty dated even the newer style so expect to sell it cheap. Probably have trouble selling it all as a package deal as well. Most of us have tanks, compressors, etc.

Not trying to be a Debbie downer, just stating the reality of it.

Very expensive and too formal of a setting for me. The range we go to is a state funding conservation area and the range officer is a sweet elderly gentleman that let's my wife and I stick around as long as we want.
