Do they make a air rifle that will kill a elk?

Answer 1

Most definitely Yes. You are looking at the high end pellet rifles known as PCP (Precharge Pneumatic Guns ) they require a Scuba tank or a pump to charge them. Some use a small tank on the rifle to hold the charge. Usually you can get 8 to 10 shots out of one charge. They Come in .177, .20, .22 , .25, 9MM, 45 Cal and 50 Caliber. The 50Cal will bring down a Moose. The slug travels at about 600 FPS. If you want to see some of the Rifles go to a web site hosted by Pyramydair, and look at the assortment of PCP rifles. Surprisingly they are several in an affordable range around $400-$600. It's the scuba tank that adds to the final cost. But you get several charges out of one scuba tank. I suggest that you look at the Sam Yang Big Bore 44 or the ShinSung Career Dragon Slayer 50 Cal. Both are powerful rifles. See related link.
