ROCHESTER, New York, (April 1, 2011) –Crosman Corporation, long known for innovation and quality in the shooting sports, today announced the giveaway of a .25 caliber Benjamin Marauder PCP air rifle on the popular website NRAhuntersrights.org during the month of April.
According to J.R. Robbins of NRAhuntersrights.org, “the lucky winner will receive a one-of-a-kind Benjamin Marauder hunting airgun package. Engraved with the NRA logo, the precharged pneumatic air rifle helps celebrate our Annual Meetings this year.” The NRA/Crosman giveaway includes the engraved .25 caliber Benjamin air rifle, CenterPoint Hunting and Outdoors 3-12x44mm scope with mounts, Benjamin 3000 psi air tank, hand pump, and .25 caliber pellets. “Everything you need to power up and get shooting immediately,” said Robbins. The suggested retail price of the entire hunting package is $955.00.
Crosman Vice President of Marketing, Bob Hampton commented, “Participation in this NRA program provides a great opportunity for us to reach hunters and educate them about the viability and enjoyment of hunting with airguns.”
“With its precharged pneumatic powerplant generating up to 900 fps, and over 30 foot pounds of energy, the Marauder air rifle is capable of taking prairie dogs to fox-sized game, at or beyond 50 yards,” said Hampton. The bolt-action Marauder features an eight-round, auto-indexing magazine, a two-stage, adjustable trigger and a rifled barrel. “The beautifully engraved hardwood stock has an ambidextrous raised comb and a ventilated, rubber butt pad,” he said. The internally shrouded barrel maintains a stealth-like presence, “so that when you pull the trigger, the loudest sound you hear is that of the pellet hitting your quarry,” Hampton said.
“We invite you to enter the Benjamin Marauder Gift Giveaway by visiting www.nrahuntersrights.org. Scroll down to ‘Gift Giveaway’ and follow the simple instructions,” said Robbins. There is no cost to enter and entries will be accepted during the entire month of April. A winner will be announced May 1, 2011.
