Can you hunt deer with a Daisy Powerline 1000?

Answer 1

Definitely not a big game hunting rifle. It's too small a caliber. It's fine for rodent control, but medium to large game are way out of the capabilities of this rifle. There are air rifles that are used for hunting but they are in a class of their own. They are called PCP's (PreCharged Pneumatic) class rifles. The ones used for deer hunting usually are 357 or 50 caliber air rifles and will cost you $500 or more just for the rifle. They require a charging system that can cost another $300. None of the Daisy line of airguns or rifles are capable of deer hunting.

If you want to hunt with an air rifle I suggest you look at a Benjamin Rogue .357 or a Sam Yang .50 caliber Dragon claw.
