The Pneumatic pump Benjamin or Sheridans are in the 100 buck range. I had one as a kid and learned quickly that the pumping effort made me make every shot count.
They will easily take any small game you want. I took Geese, pheasants, turkeys with head shots, squirrels rabbits etc. with body shots. It will kill bigger stuff then that too.
It's hard to beat the all wood and steel construction, and it's American made. I would not use anything smaller the 5mm or 20 caliber when trying to kill small game.
I have a few here, some from 1960, they can still be repaired although they will work for decades without any problems. They can also be ready to shoot without any loss of Spring tension like the Break barrel designs.
Accuracy will rival all but the most expensive european rifles made too.
