RE: Air rifle hunting
I posted this on Predator Masters a while back. Thought you guys would like the info...
.22 cal. @ 1300 FPS.... WOW!!
Doesn't sound like much of a feat until you find out it's an Airgun, not to mention it looks badda$$ to boot!!!
There's more info on this gun from reviews, I couldn't find the best one I read yesterday. But the shooter claims ½" groups to 50 yards. I don't own any "serious" Airguns, but I think if I were to buy one, this would probably be the one!!
Here is the original link, it has more info on the gun and some more input...

Condor While other air gun manufacturers struggle to break 1200 feet per second in .177, the new Condor easily achieves 1250 in .22 making it the most powerful pellet gun known in this caliber. Premium Lothar Walther barrels insure accurate pellet delivery. The integral scope rail has been lengthened to allow mounting the largest air gun scopes or other specialized optical sighting devices. Additional dovetail rails allow mounting lasers, bipods, and other accessories to provide the shooter with a powerful and adaptive air gun shooting system.

my dad has a benjamin air rifle that shoots 1000 fps, it was great at getting rid of a pesky squirrel this year in their back yard... one shot and that was it... of course my dog had to go ensure that it was dead too...

RE: Air rifle hunting
I wish that we could in my state ,
but they are illegal for hunting . I don't understand this because an air rifle of sufficient power is one of the best small game rifles around for shorter ranges , and talk about cheap shooting ! If you can knock nickles off of the fence at 75 yards , and put a hole in a metal garbage can at the same range , then they should be allowed .
If the rats I've plinked could bear witness they'd try to stop me !
