Best airgun for hunting.

Sorry forgot to mention that. I would be hunting pest birds, such as starlings, sparrows, and pigeons. Grouse, squrriels, marmots, and maybe raccoons. This would be a woods stalker gun. I live in Idaho so I would be walking/wandering through the woods hunting. Very rarely I would lay down prone

From a rested position or stalking on a farm? There’s lots of variables tha go into a question Like this. Weight is of concern for stalking, so is length. None of those matter if you’re spending most of your time rested.

Not certain there is a "best". As mentioned, you probably need to get extremely specific on what kind of hunting you're going to do, if you just want to narrow things down a little. There's also a lot of guns missing from your list. I take it you want to restrict to this list for some reason.

If on a budget, the Zbroia, although I’m not sure if the factory is even functioning since it is located in Kherson, Ukraine 
Otherwise, @KalibrGun would be my choice.

I’m with Intenseaty here. This was the easiest what gun poll to answer in recent history once you stated your needs.

I own none of the above guns. I will say this, I won't hunt with a gun that's not giving me nickel groups at 50 with its preferred pellet. Occasional fliers happen, im meaning consistently I aim for nickels at 50 dimes at 30. Also it needs to be powerful enough for the game intended. With what you listed game wise. I would want a 22 caliber in the 30-40 fpe range for max 50 yards. Anything after 50, if it's not paper, it gets the 50+fpe 25 cal guns.
99% of my bird shooting is done with 177 witha 13.5 fpe gun. Birds don't need much.

Owning both the Zbroia Kozak FC 550 (22 cal) and the FX Crown with 380 and 600 mm barrels (22 cal), I find the Zbroia easier to carry, sling and shoot in hunting situations. Many groundhogs and squirrels have fallen to it. Don’t get me wrong I really like the crown for accuracy.
An impact will be added to my collection soon.
Luckily I ordered and received a few parts I thought I may need just prior to the conflict starting.
Everyone is different, but I like the bull pup platform better.

The best I have used is the AA EVOL. It was designed from the ground up for hunting and is sturdy, light (depending on stock option), great trigger, and accurate.
Close might be a Brocock or BRK Ghost in 25 cal.
