Mrod or Disco

[acornscout]

Thinking on getting one or the other. With one has the best track record with the least amount of problems.

What are you using it for? The discovery has a better track record if you ask me.. Marauders in .22 have serious quality control issues with their barrels. I'd prefer the marauder over the discovery.

I want to get another Marauder.. some really good mods out for that rifle now, worth getting it again!

Another option is the Prod. I have one of those, really awesome carbine. You'll need to replace the hammer spring out of the box but that's all.

Disco comes with a pump for $100 less then the mrod which comes with no pump...

If you ask me they are both good solid foudations to start with.. disco id deff go 22 and mrod id go 25

I have a disco in 22 a real tack driver.

my disco is way more accurate then my .22 m rod (i got a bad one).  the m rod will be more powerful if you tune it up but in its stock setting my disco with the heavier hammer spring pumped to the end of the yellow is faster and shoots much flatter.  m rod is alot more quiet then the disco, m rod is also heavier.   the m rod trigger blows the discos out of the water.  right now my m rod just sits in a case since it has no accuracy, im ordering a LW barrel for it soon and it should be a real shooter after that

if i was going to buy another m rod t would be the .25 since they dont use crosman barrels

The Disco sounds like a great air rifle, but the Marauder has a shroud (quiet) and magazine (for repeating shots), and a quality trigger, so I would go with the Marauder every time.  And use a 4500 psi SCBA tank to fill if you can.

If you are going to hunt, get the 25 Marauder.  It is ready to go with factory settings.  If you like shooting paper only, get the 177 for its high shot count and inexpensive ammo.  The 22 is a big gamble.  You may get a good one, but more likely, you will get one that needs a barrel replacement to shoot accurately.  If you really want to use the hand pump, the 177 is probably the way to go.

The 25 and 177 seem to be nice rifles right out of the box.  22 is hit or miss...literally.

I also bought a P-rod and that is also hit-or-miss.  My first one couldn't group at all and leaked air around the nanometer, but the replacement is winner - accurate and no leaks.

If you have the money, get an M-Rod. If your on a budget, get a Disco. Same barrels if I'm not mistaken. The Marauder, however, is much better looking. If you get the Disco, look into a TKO muzzle break.

Thanks guys. I was going to use it for hunting nutters instead of my power burners. Thinking about the 22. Cal. This would be my first PcP rifle. My Titan does ok but just looking for a new toy and every body is always talking about these. Sound is not a big issue. And I don't mind using the hand pump. But what is the price on a replacement barrel for the disco or m-rod? Thanks for the info.

About $27 dollars shipped to your door. If you ever need to replace the barrel on the Disco get it from MellonAir he charges $30 but he re crowns them etc.. Mrod barrels from Crosman I don't know any other places that have them.. but if all else fails get a LW barrel for the Mrod.
