I have been much impressed by the accuracy of my .25 cal Benjamin Marauder, so much so that I have followed the development of the newer semi-auto Marauder (only available in .22 cal). I finally bit the pellet, so to speak, when Midway offered a good discount on the newer second gen semi-auto (and free shipping!).
I intend to eventually purchase a night vision scope that would be interchangeable with some of my bigger rifles. I think this semi-auto rifle would be a hoot to shoot rats with at night.
The only problem that I have encountered is that Midway will not ship night vision equipment to Commiefornia.
We will be moving to a more sensibly American State in the coming new year, so I guess I'll just have to put that on hold.
In the meantime, testing this gun reveals consistent shot velocity at around 870fps from the factory, uning 14.3 grain domed pellets. I shoot around 40-50 shots before recharging the gun.
And yes, the semi-auto feature works without a hitch.
Very impressed.
