Benjamin New Entry Level PCP - Maximus

[Bicycleman]

I see that Pyramyd Air now has the "In Stock" date set at June 16, 2016.  Crosman still has May 20, 2016.

I had been considering the Maximus. I bought the Mrodair .22 varmint instead. I'm really liking it so far. I haven't had a chance to stretch it out past 10 yards to see its accuracy performance. At 10 yards its ragged little one hole groups.

That is a nice alternative but I havent been all that happy with MRodair's support so far.  So I will stick with someone with good customer service

That's definitely a good point. I think it would be wise of Mrodair(Mike) to pay attention to us on this forum to improve his customer service. I hope that this rifle can also be sold by another US vendor. No issues so far but my  rifle is only a couple of weeks old. I believe Mike T of tko has had some more hands on time with this rifle.

With the talk of buying something else because of the Maximus delay and also the talk of M-Rod air guns, possibly I jumped to the conclusion he was looking to buy the M-Rod air Varmint because of Crosman's delay, and I was stating that M-Rod air has had issues with delays.

[Bicycleman]

If ever you have had work done to your home, car, road in front of your house, the bride near home/work, etc. you realized that delays occur.  The same thing happens with businesses introducing new products.  Pyramyd Air may have some issues that will not allow for immediate delivery once they receive stock from Crosman.  It certainly would be nice though if Pyramyd Air chimed in here and give us a little bit of news.  What do you think?
The delay is not a big issue for me since I had not planned to have the rifle ready for Spring Squirrel Season anyway.

It's possible the preorders are higher than suspected.?? Life will go on for me either way.  FYI higher means more of them ordered, not speaking about price.

[Airgun.Sniper]

 $200 is high??? Im not sure what you mean by that. I believe the marauder is over priced due to the fact it is massed produced. And when ordering parts the most expensive thing is the stock....hmm i maybe wrong

I think he means the volume of pre-orders, not the price.  For example, maybe they were expecting 1,500 people to order and instead 10,000 ordered.

X2, nothing was said about the price.

Would be surprised it the market version had a threaded barrel...know they made some that length for the UK market (which wasn't too thrilled with the 12 foot pound version).

This one I think is going to be with an untheaded barrel and a Cr. 2260 type front sight.... but at least it's longer...so muzzle farther forward of the air tube...so better able to take a "fat" LDC without getting in the way of the fill hose.

Any way I look at it, the MAx has a nicer stock line...that fish-belly wood stock of a Disco has never pleased me.

The US version will not have a threaded barrel.  Chip Hunnicut has confirmed that detail.

Is " will not" like,  I will not reply to this post?

  Wont know until it comes out. All things are speculation

Not idea why, but I've always liked that look on them. I hope to be able to get one myself some time in the future.

The details about the barrel are known.  Chip Hunnicut has confirmed the details.  The US version will not be threaded.  You can read it for yourself here:

  Am I correct that the new Maximus is a bolt action single shot, while the Marauder and Discovery are repeaters?
