All,

I'm sure there are "sleeper" air rifles out there - guns that are good quality and perform well but aren't well known/in demand. But I'm pretty new to air rifles, and short of stumbling over another RWS 94 I don't know what to look for.

I'm interested in a good quality breakbarrel in .177 or .22 that has steel sights, at least a decent trigger and is powerful enough for hunting out to 100 feet or so. I want accuracy over power but I'd like to have both.

Not looking to spend big money. Especially if one of the gas piston rifles in the 100-150 price range will fill the bill. I don't know enough about the "Wal-Mart" guns to know a good one from a bad one. I have heard that there is a good B# family of Crosmans that people like. I don't know which ones or why.

I always like the European rifles when I come across them, but it seems like they have the accuracy and the new stuff has the velocity.

So which rifles would you look for if you were me?
