Where is the most powerful under lever 0.177 air rifle?
If you are asking "WHAT" not "Where" is the most powerful under lever .177 air rifle. Then I suggest the "Hatsan Torpedo 150 air rifle." I comes in at around 1250 FPS where as most of the other under levers fire at around 950 to 1000 FPS. However Under levers are not the most powerful air rifles. The PCP (PreCharged Pneumatic) Class of air rifles are the most powerful air rifles. An "Air Force Condor and the Evanix Rainstorm" fires a .177 cal pellet at 1300 FPS.

What is the most powerful 25 caliber air rifle?
The most powerful .25 Cal would fall into the PCP (PreCharged Pneumatic) class of air rifles like the Marauder or Condor 25 cal. PCP's require a special compressor, Hand Pump or Scuba tank to charge them to 3,000 PSI. To give you an example a C02 Powerlett holds only 800 PSI. However there are even more air rifles that are larger calibers like the Sam Yang 50 caliber that are also PCP class air rifles. Some of the air gun companies are starting to make less powerful .25 caliber "Springer" air rifles like the Hatsan model 95 SAS that is very well made and cost around $150. PCP class air rifles usually cost around $300 and up, PLUS the charging system that can add another $100 to $300 to the final price.

What is the difference between an air rifle and a BB gun?
Both are powered by Air or CO2. But a bb gun fires a bb. (.177 caliber) BB guns and Rifles traditionally have smooth bore barrels. Air Rifles (I assume you are asking about Pellet firing air rifles) fire .177 pellets usually through a "rifled bore barrel" giving the pellet more spin and causing it to travel straighter. Pellet Air Rifles come in .177 cal, but also come in 20, 22, 25, 45 and 50 Caliber pellets. They tend to be more powerful than the bb rifles. Crosman, Daisy Beeman and RWS are just a few of the air gun makers who make bb guns and Pellet Air Rifles.
Is a charged or spring air rifle more powerful?
It a depends on what you mean by "Charged" C02 is the least powerful. Usually less than Spring power. Pump is the next most powerful but is still less than most spring powered rifles. PCP (PreCharged Pneumatic) is the most powerful, it's way beyond spring power. PCP's are usually charged to 3000 PSI and capable to fire a 50 caliber pellet. Gas charged piston rifles are about the same as spring powered rifles
What is the most powerful pellet rifle?
Because new model air rifles come out quite often it is impossible to say who is the most powerful. However the top end of rifles are the PCP model rifles. Various makers manufacture the "Precharged Pneumatic" Rifles. These Rifles exceed the C02 and Spring Rifles in power. The Rifle is charged with a Scuba tank. The Calibers can be found in .177, 20, 22, 25, 45, and 50. Obviously these rifles are more expensive than their counterparts. Several models run into the Thousands of dollars. If you want a powerful spring air rifle look at the "Banjman Super Streak." I am sure that there are others on the market so I would compare the different models for Speed (FPS) Feet per second and pellet size and weight. Several of the new spring rifles can fire a heavy pellet (Lots of knock down power) faster than 1000 FPS.
