Crosman
4.3
(18)
"Get a crossman 1322 and some slugs."
"I'm a big fan of my Crosman Vantage NP (.177) 1000fps, very accurate in my experience."
"The magical anything that you want it to be Crosman 2300KT CO2 .22 cal. pellet pistol is what I would consider."
"Crosman 13xx series... enough said."
"I prefer the Crossman Nitro Venom .22 caliber model though."
"I got a crosman F4 from Walmart for $89 that's taken out two rabbits and a squirrel."
"Small. Light. Easy pump..made in America."
"I carry my “enhanced” 1377 with me every day to work."
"If you're only looking to shoot cans and paper go with a crosman pumpmaster 760."
"Crosman 362 or Crosman vantage would be great for a young buck."
#2
Weihrauch
4.7
(9)
"A classic, totally resalable if you don't like it, no pump cost, includes suppressor and scope, a no brainer."
"Weihrauch HW100 in .22"
"I would not like to be shot in the face with it. It will easily slow down anyone in such a scenario."
"You're definitely looking in the right direction with Weihrauch springers, also worth considering Air Arms and Walther."
"I prefer Weihrauch or Air Arms for springers."
"This is a top notch air rifle. I have an HW50S break barrel."
"Probably something high quality like a Weihrauch or Diana with a spring compressor and some spares."
"You could either buy a bigger rifle and detune it or go for something like a Weihrauch HW 30S that is designed around that power level."
"I have heard good things on the Weihrauch and Hatsan PCPs"
#3
Benjamin
4.1
(8)
"Best budget compact is still the P-rod (benjamin marauder woods walker) imo."
"Benjamin Marauder pistol with a DonnyFL Sumo silencer."
"If you wait until the right sake you can get a Benjamin Kratos with a free PCP hand pump."
"Here's what I use: Benjamin Trail Nitro Piston .22."
"Benjamin 392 with a tin (or three) of jsb pellets."
"An alternative would be the Benjamin 392 combo, a .22 multi-pump rifle."
"I'd go with .22 calibre break-barrel. For that price-range you could get something like the Benjamin Trail NP XL."
"I'm leaning towards this. Opinions?"
#4
Umarex
4.0
(7)
"I would get the Umarex Gauntlet 2 30SL for coyotes."
"I have been eyeing the Umarex Synergis Elite. It's an under lever and not too heavy and looks durable."
"Umarex gauntlet is what I just bought for similar sized animals."
"If you would like PCP then a Gauntlet or an Avenger would be your choice."
"Umarex hammer"
"The Umarex NXG APX multipump and the daisy powerline 901 are good beginner air rifles."
"If you're hoping for speed at a low cost, I may go with the umerex MCP."

Gamo

(5)
"I bought a refurbished .177 Gamo Swarm Fusion off ebay for $179. I love it."

#6
Hatsan
4.0
(5)
"Hatsan Airtact without question."
"I found a hatsan airtact on sale for $100 at basspro over the summer."
"Pick that up and add the bundled Optima 3-9x40 AO scope option at the bottom in the drop down menus."
"Hatsan 95 is the 125's little brother, still plenty powerful, but smaller and lighter and cheaper."
"Got a hatsan airtact refurbished for $49."
#7
