How loud is the average Marauder .25 air rifle? The distance I am shooting is 50-75 yards, stretching out to 100 every once in a while.


If memory serves, a .25 Marauder can be tuned to about the 55 ft-lb level by just changing hammer springs. But that was using the JSB Exact Kings. Not sure if the new heavier pellets would improve on that. Other tuners were getting higher FPE out of them, but that required either new valves, or porting the stock valve. A fair amount of fiddling.

Don't worry about the sound of the Marauder. In all likelihood, the impact sound might be louder than its "report".

My .25 Marauder shoots good enough for predator head shots at 75-80 yards - just over an inch with a field rest. Not sure how it would do at 100 though.
