Ernest & AZ are generally regarded as two of the best (if not the two best) PCP tuners in the US. PM me if you want AZ's contact info. AZ doesn't do computer, so you have to call him if you want to reach him.

I'm old school and still just know AZ for accuracy work on any ole rifle. If a different brand I could add a tuner or two but ............ .
Do keep in mind "accuracy " tuning can get costly as there is always a chance you'll be needing a barrel. You need to develop a relationship with your tuner , you must accept their advice on and on.
Many FT shooters would love to shoot just as close to 20fpe as possible! Just a few years ago this was often done , for a reason no one I know of have absolutely figured out yet, very very few current made rifles/barrel shoot "best" at a full 20fpe (935fpe with heavies) and some well know tuners will now just tell you straight up, Nope cant do 20fpe AND best accuracy.
Sometimes even after the best works on it, due to micro burrs/other the barrel may still require cleaning every 50+ shots , rare as a good polish should take care of that but not always THEN, do you want to buy a new barrel or go forward? Then lot's of fun when you have a proven good barrel installed and , opps, still needs some tweeking.
That said I'll bet any decent tuner ( you might search the BR world if looking for even more optiuons) can find things you haven't even noticed such as any rattle or movement of any part during firing,sets up vibrations that , may, effect harmonics and with FX seemingly running at 100% of capacity there is certainly some chance one or two rifles may not have been assembled in a 100% blueprinted mannor, tuners really help out there.
And last , 5-6 weeks would be a great tune around time .
Keep us posted on your journey.

Rare is the occasion in life when best, cheapest and quickest all align! In my 53 years on the planet, I can't ever recall it happening once

Will Piatt is also a great tuner. Pretty darned good field target competitor as well. Google will find him.

I have had airguns tuned by 3 of the tuners suggested above. AZ did a great job on a 177 Airwolf recently. The Airwolf was in AZ's shop for over 60 days and AZ has a ton of work so there is a wait. He will move you up but that has to be spoken about before shipping him your gun.
Ernest recently tuned a Cricket rifle. The rifle came back repaired and shooting better than ever. As Ernest stated he is working on his website and there is a wait for his services.
Brain at K&S is new to tuning and is Ernest's apprentice so if he runs into something he is not familiar with he calls Ernest. Brain did a great job on my older Cricket Compact 177. I explained the Cricket was being used for FT this season and needed a quick turn around. Brain had the gun tuned in 6 or 7 days.
Not only did he tune the Cricket he tested accuracy with 5 different 10 grain pellets(barrel was new and just installed). The paperwork below arrived with the Cricket.
I would recommend all three tuners. If you want your Wildcat done quickly Brain at K&S would be my suggestion. He did a first rate job on my Cricket. If you have time Ernest is know as the bullpup whisper for good reason.

I am thinking of getting a marauder for my first pcp. Would it be a good idea to just have it tuned and gone threw right off the bat. If so who has contact info for a good guy to have it done

Eaton id try it first . You might b surprised how well a factory gun can shoot . And if it needs a little work a Marauder is very easy And kinda fun to work on
