Marauder has an adjustable Cheek piece too, much lighter, a CF pony 4500 psi bottle is easier to carry than an extra tube, less to go wrong and way more overall shots.Maurader .25 has a proven record of great accuracy, I owned one and it gives nothing away to the Hatsan .25There's a huge cottage industry to support the Marauder, all kinds of specific parts are easily available to transform the gun to whatever your needs/wants dictate
what pellets are people liking in the m rod? guessing jsb kings would work? h@n working well also?
Take it from a Condor owner that just went through a similar decision. You are going to want a repeater, and you are going to really appreciate removable tubes. Add an ldc and you will be in heaven at those ranges. 50+ fpe out of box with 25 shots per fill, room to grow,accurate as all *(&^, and quiet like you wouldn't believe.
Ordered the .25 syn rod with kings and h&n barracudas just going to steal the scope from the hatsan for ithope I like it, would have held off but the disco just went from the slight leak it had after I re did the orings to leaking like a mad man again. starting to think I might need to replace the o ring in the valve or just get a new valve and see what happens. Good news is I should have this before the weekend

A fellow NYer's interpretation of convoluted NY airgun law. ie this will not keep you out of jail! Under penal law, airguns are not classified as firearms. Under penal law, suppressors are illegal on firearms.Under DEC hunting regulations airguns are now legal for hunting small game.Under DEC hunting reg, if you use an airgun for hunting, it is subject to the same DEC reg as a firearm. My interpretation is this only applies to what the DEC calls out in their reg. It does not mean that because the DEC classifies it as firearm, that it now goes back to penal law. A shroud extension is not a (*^%/suppressor. Call your DEC regional office and discuss. I have found talking to them on the phone, that they are very helpful. A stock 25 cal Mrod will be quiet enough for hunting in the woods. The 500' rule would apply for using it for hunting.

Lucky the land I hunt for the most part is private and surrounded by friends and other hunters. Could fire a shotgun over and over and no one would give a &^^& around here. Plubic ground is well over 500' from anyoneHAve seen many mrauders at the local gun range so idk, should be fine.
