would this be feasible?

my thinking is.... (I want a marauder....obviously, so I want help justifying it. LOL)

My wife likes to shoot the local German clubs' 10 Avantis at the little metal gamo flip up targets. they put on a public shooting gallery at the festivals. she's pretty good at it too.

I'm interested in 10m pistol with them, I have a izh46m. no problem.

She likes rifles.
I was looking for a reasonable <400 rifle for her.

the avantis I really dont like. they are so cheapo.

the marauder is pcp/co2. i have a 80# co2 fill station already.

Can you turn DOWN the power on the Benjamin?
Some 10m traps are not designed for high power air rifles. The sheet metal will take a beating...or worse.

yep can turn it down.

I think you can get it pretty low fairly easily

Can you put an aperture sight on the front?
I think this will be the next problem to solve.

Presumably you can mount an aperture sight on the rear scope rails.

Then you have to alight the front and rear sights vertically. This may require riser blocks.

The Marauder's accuracy appears to be phenomenal. I will have one this Christmas. How's your's shooting??
