Pellet Rifle Decision help and info needed please

[totman]

Ok, I've had a Beeman pellet rifle for a long time, the only problem with it is that its not powerful enough for small game(it shoots 500fps and has trouble killing chipmunks). So now I want to upgrade and get a faster firing, harder hitting, andmore range/accurate Pellet rifle. I have some Rifles I like, tell me what you think and/or pros and cons of the rifles-
Winchester 1000x - http://www.pyramydair.com/p/winchester-1000x-air-rifle.shtml
Remington Summit - http://www.pyramydair.com/p/remington-summit-air-rifle.shtml

Crosman Quest 800 - http://www.pyramydair.com/p/crosman-quest-800-22-cal.shtml

Is there a Pellet rifle big enough to take down a small coyote or game its size? Whats the bigest game I could take down with any of these Rifles? Which would you chose? Are these reliable?

Sorry for so many questions.

Ok first off there is not a air rifle that I know of that could take down a coyote or even a fox. The biggest I think you could get to would be a coon. Second are you looking for a .177 or .22caliber air gun because the options you listed have both. Gamo makes a air shotgun/ air rifle combo that would do for birds, squirrels, etc etc. Kinda pricey tho. Check out the video: http://www.gamousa.com/Catalog.aspx?Product=71
Good Luck.

They make some heavy air rifles in Europe; don't know where you could buy one though.

I have been looking at getting a air rifle to hunt coyotes in semi populated areas... I have done quite abit of research and you need to lean toward one of the big bore (.25 or even .50) with at least 50fpe. I have decided on a .25 (Falcon LightHunter)but just have not wanted to part with my $$$ yet... but most likely will have one by this fall.

The following isan articleon using the big bore air rifles to kill coyotes, whitetail and hogs (http://www.airgundepot.com/big-bore-article.html).

There are plenty (well some anyway ) of big bore air guns that will kill anything from elk to mice . I use my air gun as somthing of a backup , so I havn't upgraded to somthing fancy yet . I'm using a Winchester 800 , I have taken many rabbits with it . For power , I think it's great . The trigger sucks though . It's the hardest trigger I have shot . Depending on your budget , I'd go with an Airforce Condor . The rifle isn't too much , but having your own "air supply" will set you back quite abit more . Do some research before you choose . There are some great 9mm rifles , but again the charging could cost you .

at cabelas they had a 9mm air rifle there made by RWS that shoots a 60 grain diablo style pellet at 900 fps. I did some pecking around online about these and in europe they use these to take deer. so surely they'll take a coyote.

Ok, so it seems I will not be able to kill a coyote with out a very pricy gun. I want to spend UNDER $200. Do you guys have any suggestions for a reliable,HARD hitting, accurate, pellet rifle for under $200? Is there a pellet gun out there with the reputation of a Tippmann 98(only Paintballers would know what a 98 is)?

It's not that big of a decision, they're all pretty much the same but I recommend an RWS or gamo. And no you will not be able to kill a coyote with any airgun.

Go RWS.There is a fellow in the US [Quackinbush]that custom manufatures .50 cal pellet rifles capable of killing deer and impala at 50 yards or so about .45 colt in power terms using diver tanks for air supply.........Harold

Well I think I've narrowed it down to these two models, the Gamo CFX and the Diana RWS 34 Panther. Wich one and what caliber?
