Pellet Gun Question - Which Gun?

Question

out of these guns, what gun would you say is the most accurate, well made, and consistent. I mostly hunt small game (crows, squirrels, rabbits, etc..)

Crosman: Storm XT, Phantom, Quest1000x

Gamo: Sport Carbine, Big Cat hunter

Ruger Airhawk

(might not get bigcat because its a little too pricey)

Answer 1

none! get any .22 cal pellet gun that shoots at least 800 fps. i think beeman makes a dual caliber for a great price. a .177 just seems to always give way to much penetraition  

Answer 2

I'm not a huge fan of Gamo, but, on your list the Big Cat is the best.

The Gamo Sport Carbine(640fps*) is not a small game hunter, it's a plinker.

*You should keep in mind that fps numbers are always inflated by the use of light weight pellets. Gamo likes to use their ultra light weight PBA Raptor pellets and even then they "exaggerate"

Of the Crosman guns, the Phantom is the best "all around" rifle

Ruger Air Hawk* - This one is new and I have not had the chance to handle/shoot one yet.

*Bass Pro Shop has the Air Hawk "combo" for $99.99

I know you said the Big Cat was to pricey, but, you ask about a "well made" small game hunter. The Benjamin 397 is a very well made small game hunter(both are around $140). You would just have to decide between a multi-pump pneumatic and break barrel. There are advantages to each.

If you really want a powerful, accurate and very well made air rifle you will have to spend a little more.

The "Diana" RWS 34* is built to last several lifetimes, and it comes with a lifetime warranty to back that up.

*The Dianawerks has been building quality airguns since 1890 - Dynamite Nobel RWS is one of the most respected airgun makers in the world.
