What is the best air rifle for hunting?

It depends on the size game you want to hunt. Gamo makes a line of small game hunting rifles like the big cat or the Benjamin trail XL. If you are looking to hunt larger game look at something that fires a larger .22 or.25 caliber pellet. If you want to go for really big game then look into the PCP (PreCharged Pneumatic) class of air rifles. Like the Marauder .25 Caliber. Marauder also comes in .177 and .22. Or the really big Sam Yang big bore 44 (it's a 45 caliber air rifle) and will bring down an elk. I suggest you read the owners reviews on the attached web site below and make a selection.
