Marauder vs Avenger/Flash/Gauntlet2?

[elguapo99]

I've been considering the P35 or P15 because they check the light weight box for me. My Avenger is light compared to my Kral and Hatsan but not as light as my Prod. My Katran also checked the light weight box. I stay away from those 8 lb guns anymore. My buddy has a Gauntlet and it's a beast in the weight category.

Just looked up the specs on the Flash and it's not bad in the weight category at 5 lbs for the Non-QE version and 5.5 lbs for the QE version. I love my Hatsan AT44S-10QE, quiet, accurate, nice trigger, but the only drawback for an old guy like me is the weight.

I spoke to Crosman service tech a few weeks ago and while he was waiting to talk with another tech concerning my question regarding my M-Rod I asked another question concerning the Crosman barrels and the 362 pump rifle. He told me that they had made some production changes to their barrel processes that should generally result in improved production consistency. So then I asked well, consistently accurate or consistently inaccurate? He laughed and said, they are improved. I do not know what that means. I think several years ago, perhaps coinciding with the drop of the GM barrels, this change may have been phased in? That part is speculation on my part.

Shooting pellet rifles at 100 yards, it seems to me, again being hardly an expert, that the greater the shooting range, the greater other factors aside from the barrel come into play. Like the design of the projectile, the BC, spin rate and environmental factors and the trigger puller. The (slow) lock time and the lengthy dwell of the projectile within the rifle could also allow plenty of time for bad things to intervene, no matter how consistent the barrel. Then harmonics! These are not rigid systems.

Shooting a pellet gun at 100 yards is not an easy feat point blank. I'm still working my way there. Those you tubers sure make it look easy though lol, take 8... okay got it this time. Think about that for a moment.
