Benjamin Marauder Semi-Auto (SAM) Synthetic Combo

The Benjamin Marauder Semi-Auto PCP Air Rifle with synthetic stock is an eagerly-awaited additional option for the well-received SAM, the semi-automatic version of their top-of-the-line air rifle. It’s designed from Benjamin’s popular Field and Target platform, and although it bears a strong resemblance to the classic Marauder airguns, it has a brand new interior with enhanced parts that enable semi-auto functionality.

This new version features a synthetic stock that weighs less than the hardwood stock version, while maintaining the same reliable operation and features. The air rifle’s 10-shot magazine was designed with the goal of nearly consistently avoiding jams, and it includes a regulator that yields stable velocities across large shot strings, plus a hammer spring screw that adjusts the power level.

The combo includes the Marauder rifle, a CenterPoint 4-16×40 AO Rifle Scope with 1″ tube and illuminated TAG-style reticle and Picatinny rings, and a Premium Sling with two swivels. It’s ideal for hunting and pesting because of the combination of the sling’s portability, the scope’s accuracy, and the air rifle’s rapid follow-up shots.

Testing reveals that the average shooter can expect a cyclic rate of about 300 rounds per minute, depending on how fast they can pull the trigger, which makes for fast follow-up shots. The air rifle comes set from the factory at a power level that yields about 50-60 shots at approximately 900 FPS and 22 FPE, but is capable of 30-40 shots at up to 950 FPS and 28 FPE at maximum power.

The fully-shrouded barrel produces shots that are quieter than expected, and the rubber recoil pad provides a comfortable hold. The Picatinny optics rail easily accommodates a scope, and the adjustable trigger aids accuracy.
