I live in a residential area so a true hunting air rifle would be too much.

I have a Crossman pump rifle that is useless beyond 7 yards or so. Earlier today I shot a rabbit at about 30 feet. The rabbit hopped away with a damaged back leg. Hours later I still feel like a POS about it. (I was using Gamo hunting pellets no less)

Anyway. Is there an airgun, maybe something adjustable, that has enough power to kill out to 30 some odd feet that does not sound like a 22 magnum?

Thanks.

What you have may work if you make good shots.....shooting rabbits in the ass with anything is less than effective.
My Gamo Hunter 220 .177 will kill a cottontail rabbit at 15 yds...shoot them in the head.
