Benjamin Marauder Wins Reader's Choice Award

BLOOMFIELD, New York-- Crosman Corporation is proud to announce its Benjamin Marauder rifle was recently recognized for a Readers' Choice award by Game & Fish / Sportsman Magazine for favorite airgun.

Game & Fish / Sportsman Magazine annually surveys their 400,000 readers to determine what hardcore hunters consider the best new gear. The 2015 survey had a record number of qualified hunters cast votes in categories covering bows, shotguns, coolers, atv's and eight other categories. This was the first year an airgun category was included in the survey.

"Hunters trust Benjamin Airguns when their adventures take them beyond the backyard and we are honored to have the Marauder be recognized by the readers and hunters of Game & Fish / Sportsman Magazine as the top airgun," said Jennifer Lambert, Vice President of Marketing.

The Marauder is a precharged pneumatic (PCP) rifle available in three calibers and two stock finishes, wood and synthetic, each with an adjustable comb for a custom fit. This well-balanced rifle is filled to 3000 PSI and delivers up to 32 shots in .177 and .22 caliber and 18 shots in .25 caliber. It has a choked and shrouded barrel that provides both precision and ultra-hushed operation, making it the most accurate and quiet in its class. The two-stage, adjustable match-grade trigger makes every shot smooth and crisp, while the innovative magazine allows for fast follow-up shots.

The Benjamin Marauder is also available for a limited time on crosman.com in popular camo finishes Muddy Girl® by Moon Shine

Camouflage@, Realtree® Xtra and Realtree® MAX-1. For shooters interested in Marauder performance in a tactical package, Lambert recommends they take a look at the Armada, which offers a Magpul® M-LOK rail and AR furniture.
