Dude just get a .22 - any pellet gun worth a shit will cost the same or more than a .22

two best choices are a Ruger 10/22 or a Marlin model 60.

Get the Ruger if you want a detachable magazine and shit loads of accessories so you can make it look like whatever you want.

Get a Marlin if you want a tube magazine and more accuracy, but not as many accessories.

I have a model 60 because I wanted accuracy. That Marlin micro-grooving does not fuck around. OK, sure so I can't make it look like an M4 - but that fucking thing can LITERALLY drive nails.

My recommendation to you, since you want to shoot critters and not precious antique cans is get the Marlin model 60 with a decent optic and a comfy sling. If you happen to have a .357 pistol already the Ruger 77 is a sweet little gun too, but a .357 coming out of a rifle is uh....well it's not exactly large caliber but it will fuck shit up waaaay more than a .22. So if by "woodland creatures" you mean squirrels - stick with the .22, but if that includes possums and armadillos and maybe a snapping turtle or two, then go for something in a pistol caliber you already own.

fuck the .17 hmr tho, total meme gun.

Accuracy is important, but I only need out to about 20 - 30 yards. Really like to find a pellet gun so I can shoot in the back yard. Budget is of concern too.

Any pellet gun that isn't a toy will cost you about the same as a .22 fam.

If you're that close and don't wanna spend any shekels go get a wrist rocket and some ball bearings.

Get a competition airsoft riffle with biodegradable bbs. No reason to kill the little fuckers if you can just wear blackface and teach them to attack the niggers in your territory.

While it's not a suggestion for a specific gun I would also considering a break barrel springer or gas piston rifle. The problem with them as opposed to pneumatics, CO2, and even proper firearms is that there is a two stage recoil that necessitates a different hold on the gun as well to be accurate and is known for destroying scopes in more high power rifles. I also wouldn't completely rule out a .22 pellet gun, the pellets are about twice the weight and size while still being easily available, and certain pellets aren't much more expensive than .177.

Under $50 is possible likely but probably wouldn't be too solidly built and probably wont be too accurate and your options will be limited, at $100 dollars you'll have a good variety of low budget guns and should be able to find one reasonably well built with enough power for hunting squirrels and rabbits. you'll want do some research on whatever gun you decide to get to find out the real velocity, some guns are honest in their advertised velocity, some overstate their velocity by %50 or more even when it's two similar guns from the same company. I hear about 14 foot pounds is the range you want for rabbits
