hey fellas, yall finally talked me into a brand spankin new marauder in 22! well, maybe not personally, but after going through the forum a lot.
so it came in today, along with a Benjamin pump. I did not see a degassing tool. and the tag that was attached to the trigger guard said that it had been tuned for a 3000 psi fill at the factory. it came with a couple hundred pounds in the tank, so I used the handpump to fill it to 3000psi. it was not as bad as I thought it would be, but then again, I am a normal sized guy {for me anyways} at 6' 215lbs. I did not count the number of pumps to fill it.
took some jsb 15.89gr pellets to run a shot string over the chrony and here are the numbers
826fps shot 1 at 3000psi
837fps shot 5 at 2800
840fps shot 10 at 2750
845fps shot 15 at 2600
847fps shot 20 at 2500
845fps shot 25 at 2350
837fps shot 30 at 2250
841fps shot 35 at 2100
831fps shot 40 at 2000
822fps shot 45 at 1850
813fps shot 50 at 1750psi
so from the whole thing, all 50 shots, it looks like I can fill to 2900psi, and run it to 2000psi, for 40 shots between 831 and 849 for an extreme spread of only 18fps. then it took me 115 pumps to get back from the 1750 to 2900psi.
I was kind of hoping that it would have been set up for a 2500psi fill, but the way this looks to me, im not going to mess with it as long as it shoots ok, as I have not put it on paper yet. but 40 shots at 24-25 ftlbs will do everything that I want it to do, which is mostly pest removal {gophers, prarie dogs, pigeons} and rabbit hunting on a buddies ranch.

Sounds pretty good out of the box. There should have been a plastic bag in the box with the degassing tool, along with some additional paperwork. No tears in the carton? I keep mine set at 30 ft lbs for 20 good strong shots, use the disco for more but less power.. Good luck with the new rifle. Mine likes the JSB 18.13 others prefer the 21.1 barracudas. Let us know how it does.

Wow, that came already set up with a nice bell curve - you got lucky! Hopefully it's accurate, too. If so, you REALLY got lucky!
You might want to be careful about going over 60 pump strokes per session. This can be hard on a pump. I'm using a Hill, and they told me to do no more than 50 strokes, and then letting the pump cool for 15 minutes.
Lastly, I think Crosman stopped including the de-gassing tool within the last few months. You could always buy one from PA if you really needed one.
Have fun!

I love my MROD, but the reason is I put a regulator in mine. I only get 40 shots though. I think I need to play with her a little more though to get my shot count up. Right now I am getting an Average of 702 FPS 23.18 FPE 13.6 Extreme spread with a Standard deviation of 3.47.
I highly recommend Airgun Exporter for the regulator.

So I just got back from the first outing with the synrod!!! I am in love with this rifle!!
Had my boy with me, and he was shooting a 2400 in 22 that I put together. we got a total of 14 gophers and 2 pigeons.
I haven't put it on paper at longer ranges with sandbags yet, just my 10 yard range, but found that it likes the jsb 18.3gr the best so far. so we took a carboard box with us, and right off the bat, took it out to 30 paces, and was an inch high, shooting off a shakey fence it put 3 shots into about 3/4". made an adjustment, then put 3 shots into half that size group. then shot off to the side of that, and then aimed at the hole and hit it, so figured that was close enough.
the longest shot of the evening was at a gopher at a ranged 58 yards, which then turned into about 60 before I got the rifle and sticks up and ready. I had about a 15mph left to right breeze. held a little high and to the left, missed but saw the shot, corrected, and then got him in the head on the second shot! in front of my boy, and the rancher and his mother!
and the nicest part! I pumped it to about 2950psi before I left my house, shot all evening, about 15 shots, and it still has 2600psi!! and the fast repeat shots! no pumping between shots like with my 392's!
now to order spare magazines, and look into a bottle and place to fill it!
