P-17 pistol and CMP Daisy 853 in long gun
As far as new guns, I thought the Crosman 2100 was pretty good for $50, and I've had a few .22 Crosman springers that came with accurate barrels for under $100. I agree with Ribbonstone that the $100 BSA Supersport SEs were nice guns for the money.But my real favorites are the rare local finds I've lucked across over the years.

Any particular finds come to mind?Haha, thanks for asking, Rion. I suppose the cheapest, most favorite ones would be a very nice Racine C9, an early '80s Silver Streak, and a UK Lightning XL. They were each under $100, but deals like that are getting much harder to find.
Crosman 760 and Daisy 880, they're the cheapest I own. Love my 2 880's by the way. Both have metal receivers.

the cheapest 'serious' gun i know of is a stormrider 177, its really grown on me .. properly massaged and outfitted it directly competes with the prod for my goto grab gun around the house .. hard to say which is better, prods alittle more compact and handier and stormrider shoots alittle harder and flatter ..
If folks are talkin stormriders, the dragonfly deserves my mention despite the price. Sometimes only quiet shooters can play in the basement range, and of my handful of quiet shooters the dragonfly.177 is most often in my hands.
