Answering this question is not as simple as it sounds. I suggest you read the attached link ( http://www.straightshooters.com/general-airgun-information.html) it gives some great information about effective ranges with a .25 caliber pellet. Also I applicate the statement that a .25 is big bore pellet. Unfortunately it is considered small bore. A big bore would be a .45 or 50 Caliber pellet. Also remember that the air rifle power plant has a lot to do with the range. I own a .25 cal Hatsan break barrel and a .25 Caliber Condor PCP air rifle. Obviously the Condor has a further range than the Hatsan. This is why manufactures don't publish the range of the air rifles. there are just too many factors to consider like Barrel length, Weight of the pellet and power plant of the air rifle.

What is the effective range of an air rifle?
Air rifles ranges vary depending on they're caliber, power, power plant and the pellet being used. It also depends on your application, The hunting range of an airgun is usually less than the target range. For a .177 caliber air rifle shooting at 1000 fps your maximum hunting range is probably about 40 yards. Your target range is probably about 100 yards max, since you don't need the power to take down the game at that range. For a .22 caliber air rifle shooting about 800- 1000 (with a 14.3 grain pellet) Your hunting range is more based on your gun's accuracy, than it is power. I would say the max is about 75 yards. Target could be about 130 yards or more. For a big bore, your range is usually about 100 yards or more depending on the game.
