A while ago I picked up one of the marauder pistol and 2x20 scope combos from crosman . Its my first multi shot pellet gun as well as my first air pistol . I'm happy with it so far other that the fitment of the grips . They move alot . Any of you guys have similar issues ? What did you do to fix it ? I've considered some aftermarket grips but left had ones are fairly hard to find . Thinking that a slip on rubber grip might help .

Might try vaustin928@yahoo.com for some nice grips.
-
My grips moved a bit also so I put several thin strips of 2-sided masking tape (carpet tape) on the metal frame where the grips and frame contacted. Haven't had a problem since.
-
Put a size 006 O ring on a the pegs. No more movement.

You firing that at the range or in your basement?
I used to live in Portage and grew up there.
Moved south of Schoolcraft two years ago just over the county line. I have lots of room on my property to shoot now plus no more Portage ordinances!
As for your grips, they really shouldn't move that much if the scews are tight. That grip frame same mounting as 1701 and 13xx and I have those Benji grips on my 1377. They were direct swap for the ones it came with and don't move for me at all.
Anyway, you might also enjoy the skeleton stock on that Prod with a third screw drilled and tapped into the grip frame on the bottom.
Did that with my 2289 and it's solid as a rock, plus I hit more things that way.
Otherwise I like the o-ring suggestion.

In the basement for now until squirrel season opens Then I'll be out in gobles near timber ridge on the property that I have permission to hunt on . With the way our state airgun laws are now they are legal to shoot on private property as long as a proper back stop is used to ensure that the projectile dose not leave the property . Townships can not regulate it on private land any longer . It was part of the airgun reclassification package last summer, SB979 if I'm remembering correctly . I don't shoot in the yard though I don't want to bother the neighbors or cause any issues with some one thinking its a firearm .
I've been thinking of replacing the scope with a nice red dot sight so that I could use it with or without the stock . The stock is a bit small for me though . The eotech for rimfires and airguns would be awesome but more than I paid for the airgun in the first place . Next time I'm out near harbor freight I'll get one of there sets of o-rings to try them on the grip frame .

As others have stated, a good set of wood grips is the best solution.
If you are getting rotational movement, the o-ring method works. I didn't like the "squeeze" creep with the plastic grips. I filled them with epoxy and used a slip on grip, for my AR carbine Prods. Wood for the pistols.
