For a cheap one I'd have to agree with 10Glocks suggestion. A Daisy 880 with a rifled barrel for pellets or bbs $69 from Amazon.
I've given mine away some years ago but they work fine and they're cheap. They should be cheap since they're made in China and mostly plastic.

This guy is looking for a backyard and garage plinker, not an elephant rifle. It doesn't need to be a 9 pound club built out of indestructium.

It might be nice if it wasn't made in China so as not to support those communists any more than neccessary. There are lots of inexpensive Crosmans that are still made in the USA. The Crosman 2100 Classic for instance is only a few dollars more that the Daisy 880, is of similar power with rifled barrel, has a die cast zinc receiver as opposed to the Daisy's plastic and is made in USA.

You were just knocking Crosmans for not being well made anymore 2 posts ago... pick a lane.
I own both Daisy and Crosman .177s, and they both work fine. I prefer the 901 because it's a bit more accurate and the stock fits me better, but both an individual's ergonomics and mass produced items vary per unit.

They are nowhere near as well made as they were back in the 60's and '70's. I have several from that time period and know of what I speak. The Crosman 2100 is still better for the reasons listed above than the Chinese 880. My Rogers Arkansas Daisy 881 from the 70's is also much better made than the current Chinese 880's. Just this morning I was shooting my third variant Crosman 760 {circa 1974-1975} and todays 760's are simply not in the same ballpark.
