You need to define "good priced" because with airguns a lot depends on how much you are willing to spend. Is good priced $100, $500, or $2000? With the exception of the Daystate Air Ranger, all of the airguns I'm going to mention can be found on Pyramid Air or Cabellas.



In the $100 category, a re-manufactured Gamo Big Cat from Cabellas is probably the best option. The Big Cat produces 15 ft-lbs muzzle energy and once you learn the artillery hold accuracy is typically 1-1.5 inch groups at 30-35 yards. Durability isn't on par with high-end German and UK springers, but it's good enough.



In the $200 category the best options would be the RWS 34 and Benjamin 392. The RWS 34 is a springer that produces about 15 ft-lbs of energy and, once you learn the artillery hold, 1-1.5 inch groups at 35-40 yards. Durability is quite good. The Benjamin 392 is a multi-pump pneumatic made by Crosman. Power is around 12-13 ft-lbs muzzle energy. Accuracy is typically 1-1.5 inch groups at 25-30 yards. Durability is excellent. The only downside is you need a special mount to scope it.



In the $500 category you have a lot of good choices including the RWS 350 (24 ft-lbs) and Benjamin Discovery (21-22 ft-lbs). Both are solid guns that will deliver good performance on small game at 40-50 yards.



If you want to spend more than $500, you start getting into very high-end airguns, both springers and pre-charged. Springers in this category include the Beeman R1 and Air Arms TX200 Mk III. Pre-charged guns range from the Airforce Condor (60-65 ft-lbs) to the Daystate Air Ranger (50-80 ft-lbs depending on tune).
