It depends on how much you want to spend? What's "affordable" to you?



From high to low $$$

Evanix Hunting Master AR6

Beeman R1

Weihrauch HW100

Air Arms TX200

RWS - 350

RWS - 34***

Gamo CFX

Ruger Air Hawk

Crosman Quest 1000X. Storm XT or Phantom

Tech Forch(TF)34

Crosman 2100

Daisy 880



***IMO, the "Diana" RWS 34 is the best "value" air rifle in the world. You get a high quality, powerful, accurate, durable, spring piston sporter that will last several lifetimes. When your kids hand the 34 down to their kids, it will still be a great rifle. The 34 comes with a lifetime warranty and since the Dianawerks has been building quality airguns since 1890 there is a real good chance they will be around to stand behind that warranty.

The RWS 34 can take small game(rabbit, squirrel) out to around 45 yards*.



*As an example

Jim Champman - Hunting with his favorite small game air rifle, the Beeman C1 .177(850fps)

He takes a jackrabbit at 44 yards, with one shot to the head.



AIr rifles are like fingerprints, every one of them is different. Even if you and I had the exact same rifle, there is a good chance they would prefer different pellets.



Domed pellets are "generally" the best for hunting purposes.



Good quality pellets at a reasonable cost.

RWS - Superdomes

Beeman - Silver Ace

JSB - Exact

Crosman - Premier Domed

Airgun hunting

From the State of Texas game Regulations. You can use an airgun for some things, but if you are hunting other than the animals listed below, you can get into trouble. Your State may have similar regulations.



From the Texas Outdoor Manual:



Game animals and game birds may be hunted with any legal firearm, EXCEPT:



pellet guns and other air guns are NOT LEGAL.

fully automatic firearms are NOT LEGAL.

firearms equipped with silencers or sound-suppressing devices are NOT LEGAL.



EXCEPTION:

Nongame Animals (Non-Protected): Any lawful firearm, pellet gun, or other air gun is legal.



NONGAME ANIMALS (Includes, but is not limited to the following):

Armadillos*

Bobcats*

Coyotes*

Flying squirrels

Frogs

Ground squirrels

Mountain lions

Porcupines

Prairie dogs

Rabbits

Turtles



Yes, in Texas Mountain Lions are not considered game animals, nor are they protected. But I personally would not want to shoot one with an air gun....(grin)What type of compressed air pellet rifle would be good for small game hunting?
