Title: Mrod, synrod, gen 1, gen 2??
Post by: tonyrich on October 23, 2015, 07:16:00 PM

I'm clueless on the differences. Thinking about getting a Benji pcp but am confused by these different names.  I would like to get a .25. Is there any mechanical differences in them?

Get a 25 caliber.

Either gen is fine.  Neither one has a good depinger, so you may want to add an after market one.

Synrod= Synthetic stock version of Marauder.  Gen 2 is the newer and improved version that is currently being sold.  :D

In Gen 2 you can get a lightweight syn stock or more sturdy wood stock.  Both have adjustable cheek/comb risers.  Gen 1 is only available from the used market and have wood stock with no adj riser.   Gen 2 has a better baffle system, reversible bolt, better ergonomics, and some minor mechanical differences.  The Gen 2 25 cal can get a flatter 40fpe tune.

Thanks for clearing that up. I'm sure to be back with more questions.  :)

 ;D The Gen II trigger is quite decent with very little effort
