Discovery VS. Marauder

[jimmie lee]

Another reason to consider the Disco .22 is the 2000 maxpsi. Pumping is a breeze, especially when you fill to the sweet spot which could be as much as 300 psi; less pumping. I chose the Disco over the Marauder for the same reasons as Squirrelkiller and I already had a  powerhouse in .25.

The Rainstorm out performs the MRod & Disco in all areas. It is shrouded and much quieter than the MRod and quieter than my Disco with the BNM Breech & Shroud. The side lever is butter smooth. Trigger is adjustable as it the power.
I had a MRod when I got my Rainstorm and the MRod went to the Classifieds within a week! The Rainstorm is a little more money but worth every cent.
I am not saying the MRod or the Disco are not very good rifles but just that the Rainstorm is in a different class. I still have two Discos, one being my custom 16"LW Barrel Disco Double Tube .25 BNM Breech Carbine modified w/higher strength valve bolts making it capable of 3000 PSI fills that will out perform any MRod and a .22 Disco with a BNM Breech & shroud. The Discos are just a great light weight rifle that are a pleasure to shoot.

^ Did you guys have the .25 Mrod, or the .177 or .22?

i still have my mrod .22! when the mrod was my first and only pcp,i was pleased even though it was heavy and ugly!Once i got the rainstorm , it was  another dimension!The rainstorm lever is just awesome(cycle smoothly and doesn't feed two pellets ever),high shoot count, very light rifle, beautifull design and stock, the magazine is not cheap plastic like the marauder!!THEN AGAIN,A MROD IS 440$, i can't complain much!There is a two stage adjustable trigger on the evanix but you have to remove the indonesian stock.
I can't talk about Discovery,i never shoot one!

I'd bump up my post that's above stating that the .25 Mrod barrel is higher quality than the .22 or .177 Mrod (pertaining to the "rifle" style of Marauder), but we can't bump posts in a thread, lol.  Most of us know this of the .25 Mrod's barrel quality, but some don't.  The .25 Mrod's barrel is outsourced.  One of the GTA pros can chime in on this.  I'm thinking it's made in USA but I'm not sure.

The .25 Marauder will compete with guns 3 times its cost.  Best bang for your buck, in my opinion.  Plus, you have Crosman's excellent USA customer service for the cherry on top.  For a slim wallet, Marauder .25 is a steal of the decade.  Just my opinion.

My Rainstorm was more quiet than my Maurader .25

The Rainstorm Trigger can be made real light

^ I don't doubt the Rainstorm whatsoever.  I'm actually ignorant to it, to be honest.  It just might, and probably could, outshoot a Marauder .25.  I'm just talking best bang-for-buck.  I have never even shot a PCP, but I've read a ton.  Tons of options in guns.  The original poster started with Discovery .22 and Marauder .25.  We have no idea what his bank is .  My slender bank, on the other hand, won't go anymore than an Mrod .25  .  I have nothing against you all getting better guns .  But, anyways... .

If the Disco and MRod are what is your price range you will not go wrong with either as they are both very good guns for the money

with that said buy the mrod. dont look back, you'll love it. feature for feature the mrod has more to offer than the discovery. by the time you mod the discovery you could have bought the mrod. unless you are looking to mod something, in which case i would get the discovery.

Couldn't have said it any better!

Yeah, can't afford a rainstorm. Probably go with the marauder.
