Crossman Quest C1K77 - $95 bucks at airgundepot.com





Winchester 1000xs - $145 at airgundepot.com





My FAVORITE ----- Ruger AirHawk - $99 at sportsmanguide.com








All of these guns are 1000fps and NON-c02, which means VERY POWERFUL. These are also great prices for a pellet gun with 1000fps. Guns like this are commonly almost $200.








And don't listen to Skip. It's legal, but you first of all have to have a hunting liscense and have to check with the dfg what your local laws are. Some animals are seasonal only (ie. cottontails and crows have a season). But most of the time you're fine shooting a pellet gun, as long as you've got a liscense. Good luck!I would like to buy a powerful air rifle... What would be one of the worlds best air rifles for hunting rabbit?
Personally I am not keen on air weapons for hunting purposes, generally they lack the power for a humane kill. For rabbit I suggest a .22LR. For crows a .410 shotgun.





Check what the law permits in your area and check the start and finish dates of the season.





Here in the UK rabbit are considered vermin and can be shot at any time but may not be true where you are.





If you really must use an air weapon the check out the Gamo range.

it is illegal to hunt anything with an air powered rifle
gamo makes great guns for that just look on their website
