Recommend me a decent air gun.

I want to shoot some rabbits and pigeons for dinner so I want to buy an air gun. I don't want to spend too much money but still get a powerful and most importantly ACCURATE air gun. I am also considering getting a scope but am not sure whether it will be necessary. Please recommend me a good brand and or type. Thanks!
Edit: I don't have much experience with hunting/shooting in general. So if you can explain why/how etc that'd be great.

Why don't you just buy a .22 rifle?

It's illegal here without a permit. All I can get legally is an air gun.

That's gay. I don't know if an air gun will even kill a rabbit. .22 is the way to go. How hard is it to get a permit?

You're going to have to buy a co2 gun or something, I don't think an air gun will get anything killed unless you are good enough to shoot them in the eye.

First I need to be a member of a shooting club for more than a year. Then I have to apply for a permit with the police. Next I have to pay for the permit. This part is just for the gun though.
To get a hunting permit you need to follow a course and pass a theoretical and a practical exam. Then you have to pay for the permit which allows you to hunt hares, rabbits, pigeons, pheasants and ducks I think. A whole lot of extra bullshit if you're thinking about shooting anything bigger.
This is the Netherlands we are talking about by the way...

That's still basically an air gun isn't it? Think those are legal here as well...
So what would you recommend then?

I'd buy a Gamo. I agree with argg, that they've become popularized and can be found in Walmarts and other big box stores, but I think they still offer one of the better air guns on the market. I haven't shot a ton of air guns, but the Gamos I've shot are far superior to any Daisy or Crosman.

im planning on buying an air rifle soon too. in australia air rifles are in the same category as rimfires (22.) but i like the quiteness of the air rifle as well as shots have got to be made at or under 30 meters. im pretty friendly with one of the guys at the hunting store where i buy my archery gear, tells me the 1000fps gamo .17 will drop a red fox on the spot with a head shot, 30 meters. hope this helps.

If you shoot the right loads from a .22 rifle, it will be as quiet as an airgun. Sometimes they're even dead silent because the action moves less than in an airgun. You might want to look into it. You'll probably be impressed.
