Marksman 1745SF

#1 Post by Gotrice23 »

I've searched all over the web for a rifle that I have. It's called the Marksman 1745SF. Has anyone ever heard of this rifle? I bought it at CT. It was apparently the last one that they had.

Is there anything special about it? How come CT isn't selling them anymore? Is there anything wrong with it?

Nothing special that I know of. It was just a 495fps break barrel. Marksman probably stopped making it. I don't know much about this rifle as I'm not a big marksman fan. But I can probably find out more about it for you.

I heard a while ago that Marksman has sold out to Beeman.
But i am not 100% sure.
If i am wrong please correct me somebody.
It is probably why it is hard to get information about Marksman products.
I was told that most of the entry level breakbarrel share the same powerplant of the 1790.
If it looks like the Beeman GH500, they brobably basicly the same or have the same power plant.

Wait, if Marksman stopped making it, wouldn't it be worth a good amount of money in the future?

This is a pretty stupid picture of my rifle. My webcam isn't big enough, so I had to copy and paste pictures.

You mean this air rifle:

It is not a bad little rifle and pretty accurate if the barrel is fixed up. The one I have had a manufacturing defect which squished sections of its straw barrel when they put on the mounting bushings. I could never get it to shoot consistent untill I chopped off the damaged barrel sections and remounted the barrel with new custom fabricated bushings.

Here is a closer look of my 1790 power plant.
Does it look similar to one of your rifles ?
I am just curious :oops:

Yeah, the safety looks very simlar, same goes for the part on the front of the rifle when it's "broken" (3rd picture).

It is exactly the same action. The only difference is the stock and sights.
I like the target stock version you have.
It is a nice plinker, easy cocking and low recoil. The safety is nicely located and easy to operate. :D I wish the trigger is a bit nicer. :cry:
