也许是个好消息？！这样就不用纠结于discovery和marurder之间了，当然价格还是决定性的因素。

ROCHESTER, New York, (January 15, 2013) –Crosman Corporation, long known for creating innovative, high quality products for the shooting sports, has introduced the new Benjamin® Marauder®Synthetic.  This rugged, lightweight and well-balanced air rifle, being offered in .177, .22 and .25 calibers, complements the extremely successful hardwood Benjamin Marauder pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) air rifles.

“The newest Benjamin Marauder PCP goes lightweight with a newly designed, ambidextrous, all-weather, synthetic stock,” says Crosman Product Manager, Tom Clark.  “Creating a lighter gun became a priority when we realized that hunters and target shooters alike were looking for lighter choices compared to traditional hardwood stocks.  You’ll notice other exciting enhancements to this air rifle’s design including an adjustable comb,” said Clark.

“The commanding new Benjamin Marauder Synthetic offers all the features needed for pest hunting and taking small to medium-sized game,” says Clark.  “The ambidextrous raised comb is adjustable for a custom fit.  The rifle also has better balance for improved carrying in the field or for long days of competitive shooting. The choked, internally shrouded, rifled barrel provides both precision and ultra-quiet operation, producing the most accurate and silent rifle in its class. The two-stage, adjustable, match-grade trigger helps make every shot smooth and steady, while the innovative multi-round magazine allows for fast follow-up shots.”

“The bolt size has been increased for ease of use and, with a built-in pressure gauge and quick-disconnect Foster fittings, this gun is quick and easy to fill.  That means you can refill and return to shooting sooner,” Clark said.  “Depending on the caliber you choose, you’ll enjoy muzzle velocities ranging from 900 to 1,100 fps, shot capacities of 16-30 per fill, and foot pounds of energy from 21, with .177 caliber, all the way up to 50 fpe with .25 caliber,” he continued.

“With the new Benjamin Marauder Synthetic, hunt to your heart’s content, shoot targets, or compete with these powerful air rifles.  ‘Go beyond the backyard’ and enjoy quiet, accurate fun with this great addition to the Benjamin Marauder family.”

The Benjamin Marauder Synthetic in .177 and .22 calibers, have an MSRP of $599.  The MSRP of the .25 caliber is $649.  They will be available at retail in the summer of 2013.

What is 'bad' about wood stock, apart from weight? What is good about being "all-weather"?{:7_214: ...

俺都买了，的确轻了点，大约一磅。
加上镜子还是很重的 9.2磅

真是不轻。但是“all-weather”很重要么?考虑将来入把木托的气枪，除了重，还会有什么不好的地方呢？不能 ...

沾估计是没问题，大雨淋估计是不行。
可是谁会大雨天去打猎呢？
概率太小了吧

所以觉得这个“all-weather”比较噱头。个人觉得好的木托会使得重量更平衡一些，不头重脚轻，立姿时更舒服 ...

那倒是没有，这个合成托平衡还是很好的。
