About the Benjamin Marauder
The Benjamin Marauder is an American pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) bolt-action air rifle produced by Crosman under the Benjamin brand. Introduced in 2009, it fires .22 caliber pellets from a 10-shot auto-indexing rotary magazine and is prized among hunters and target shooters for its choked, shrouded barrel that delivers high accuracy with integrated sound suppression. The match-grade two-stage adjustable trigger and quiet operation made it one of the most popular entry-level PCP rifles on the market.
The Marauder helped popularize affordable PCP air rifles in the United States, bringing the quiet, repeating, high-accuracy capability previously found in expensive European airguns to a mainstream price point.
