Lotsa guns out there at this time. Gamo for one . Guns are great, scopes are the question. Springers are the way to go for the price.
if your lookign to kill varmints got with a 22cal
You don't mention how far you want that "dime size hole shot after shot" to be! You won't get a high quality rifle for under $150, but the Spanish made Gamos will do the job for general plinking. 22 is best for hunting, but I've used high powered 177's to kill animals up to the size of groundhogs provided the range was close and you put the shot in the brain.
RWS 34's are around $200 and the bottom of what I would even consider owning. The rifles are capable of dime size groups, but the shooter has to also be capable. Shooting a spring air rifle take very good form and many shooters never do get the hang of it.
Definitely go with .22 or .25... For hunting bigger is better.
The Benjamin 392 pump up in .22 may be your best buy. About $10 more than you want to spend. That or the Sheridan Blue Streak.
Classic Airguns.

Hands down -- The RWS 34 in a .22. The Tuned chinese clone would be a good choice, also.
