Decision time for tax return

When it gets here, I will be getting either a marauder or condor in 25 cal.  Small game hunting up to size of fox or coyote.  Any reason for one or the other?  It would be my first PCP.  Currently selling off some of my PB guns so difference in price will not make a difference.

Probly going to get request for more info.
Those are two completly diffrent guns by far.

A Condor can make a lot of power
Mrod can too but multishot breech.

What distances are you shooting?
Will you hand pump,dive bottle or a compressor fill?

Please do not over look the Sumatra Seneca  either.With its non choked barrel it really likes slugs.The .25 cal is a beast.

In most cases a .22 Condor and Sumatra can rival a .22 rimfire power.
If Coyotes is a common hunted game Id honestly step up to a .357 bulldog for the price but you suffer from low shot count.
I take out coyote at short range with a 32fpe .22.
Have a look at the Hatsan BT65 series guns also.

Range up to 75 yds.  Pump fill until I can afford a compressor.  I also need the exercise.

Just decide on either  1 .Eventually your collection will not be 1 pcp airguns anyway. They are both pretty easy to disassemble.  I have both and like them both. Out of the box power the Condor .22 or the Condor
.25 will out perform the Marauder(unless it's modded). If you get the Condor .22 , you can add a .25 cal  24 inch Lothar Walther barrel for $208 and you have 1 airgun frame with 2 interchangeable barrels. I had to install a Talon tunes   Condor Top hat to be able to decrease it's power on mine.

One is made in China (I have three) and the other made in Texas.

A 25 cal Mrod is basically a 40FPE gun in stock form, so would not recommend that for coyotes at 50-75yds.  Myself, probably wouldn't take a shot at a coyote with Mrod past 35yds.  I would select my Sumatra carbine 25 cal or bulldog for yote duty.   I'd use neither of them on small game, such as squirrels. 

Pumping won't be that big a deal when hunting, where only a few shots will be taken.  The initial fill from zero, tuning the gun and sighting it in, will be the "fun" part of pumping.  Plinking or target shooting will also be an exercise program.
