On a budget, my vote is a tuned XS-28 from Mike Melick.
After you shoot the Big Nasty you may change your mind....It is a Hatsan BT65, spitting JSB Kings (25.4gr) at 1000 fps....

I would just have it tuned in hopes that it too could reach the mid to upper 900-fps range shooting 25-grain ammo!you've no idea how much I look forward to the first weekend of August!

If the long barrel is choked and I do not want it to be choked, then I could have the choked section cut-off, right?If the barrel is choked and to short to cut-off, then I would be in trouble.I never thought I would like a thumb-hole stock, but that BT65 looks so mean!Thnaks,Al.
I like my Hatsan AT-44 S-10 Long in .25 cal.... The only drawback is the lack of heavy, accurate ammo to take advantage of the power, I have to DETUNE it into the high 900s with 25 gr. Kings.... I'm hoping JSB's soon-to-be-released 34ish gr. version proves accurate, that will give me a 70 FPE hammer....Bob
