    Marauder

    In May I bought a new Marauder in 22 from Airgun Depot. My son bought one both on same order. a friend ordered the same. both of their guns will shoot less that quarter size groups at 25 yrs. mine is almost 2 1/2 inches. Ok change shooters same results. if we go to 40 yards mine will hit a 2in tgt maybe three times then shoot one low left then high left then high right the back on tgt then low left. change shooters and the same thing. the other guns keep hammering the target. I have cleaned the bbl with no success. What is the fix? is it a bad barrel ? Will Crossman replace it or ? Just looking to see what others have done if they had the same experience. I have heard that this is a hit or miss. on these guns. shotgun patterns are not acceptable. what is recommended. aftermarket bbl at $200+ is not acceptable. will corpsman sell a bbl. no I have not called them yet.

    I have 2 bore scopes and have looked at several barrels . From Korean to LW. I have seen some really poor looking bores that had good crowns that were accurate . And I have seen some really good bores that had poor crowns shoot poorly . You might check the crown on your new barrel before you install it .Marvin

    If you have not seen this or crowned a barrel you might watch this . Many have done it and had good results .Marvin

    Try looking at the baffles inside of the shroud they are
    notorious for being misaligned look for any chipping or
    scratch marks on the inside of the baffles .

    new barrel here and installed. sights in and shot several groups today. 30yds. 10 shots covered with a nickel. 40yds 10 shots covered with a bottle cap. This will do anything I need to do. think it is going to be ok.
