best all around game rifle?

looking for an all game rifle, around a paintball guns decibel, repeater, able to store fully ready, no asian made. primary use is for pesty squirrels from 5-50 yards. and on rare occasions much farther and sometimes bigger game up to boar size. am currently looking at the Benjamin Marauder .22 & .25 caliber, Benjamin Rogue ePCP .357, as well as the Evanix AR6 .22. Does one of these best suit my need? Am I going to have to go with more than one rifle? Are there other rifles that would be better suited?

Sounds like you want a .22 rifle shooting CCI CB Long cartridges. They're extremely quiet and are around the same power of a PCP airgun.

Although the Benjamin Marauder would work too.

What I was saying is...a 22lr "cartridge" firing rifle using .22 CB Longs. Not an airgun.

But a .22 cal Marauder would be good for taking care of any pest.
