25 yard and under pcp

Marauder pistol is loud without an aftermarket moderator. Though it would definitely work for the backyard shooting you describe, I wouldn't call it backyard friendly out of the box.

There is a sweet deal on that pistol at PA bundled with a red dot, which I think would work great in your application but a green dot laser might be even better under 20 yards.
There is a good deal on a Brocock S6 at AOA under $400.00 no sight with it but moderator included.
Personally unless you just want to hunt with a pistol, I'd spring on that Brocock in a heart beat. Get a nice little red/green dot and you are in with a mouse fart quiet squirrel killing machine.

My first one was an mrodair varminter in 177 and used a scuba tank to fill. Got one of their pistols too. The varminter was reasonably accurate and pretty good shot count. Dispatched plenty of squirrels and starlings. Unfortunately it was just the tip of the iceberg as far as pcps go. Support equipment and several rifles later...

OK just when I think I have it all figured out??? What are everyone's thoughts on this little guy.

I agree with johnl57. The S200 is a superb rifle. Small enough to be super comfortable to carry, and adding a LCD will not make the rifle unwieldy like many other riles with add ons. The trigger can be adjusted to lower than I would want on a hunting rifle. They have a CZ barrel which is one of the best barrels out there. You can de-tune the rifle and shoot ten meter competitions, or keep it in the 12 FPE range and use for field target or silhouette. It's also very easy to hand pump and very efficient with air. The single load model is 500 i$h, comes with nice target sights but is easy to scope.
One of the better bargains in the pcp world imho.

Since you are looking at the brocock, I'll mention this. Just last week, I bought a Kalibrgun rifle from a member here. I love the rifle and the guy was super nice and easy to deal with. He goes by the name puertorico. He was selling three rifles. One is a brocock and I believe it is the contour 6 with green stock. I believe he only wants 375$ shipped. You might give him a call or text.

I have quiet a bit invested, but now I'm set.
2 Benjamin Marauders (.177 and .22), but if I could only have one, it would be the ,22.
I have a scuba tank and all the connections and a Shoebox compressor to fill the tank to 4500 psi. The scuba tank charges the air rifles.
I once had a hand pump to fill the rifles, but that got old - FAST.
Oh, and my two mrods are dead-on - farther out than 25 yd.

Also worth considering is a clean used gun.
I picked up a mint Air Arms S510 last year from AOA for a fair price. It was still more than your budget but it is worth every penny I spent.
You can get a nicer gun when opening up to used and there are several palace to find them.

Just a teaser you could buy something like this
a little more money but an excellent gun that is a step above the marauder.
