You say that you want it mainly for squirrel and rabbit hunting. You will probably want quick follow up shots. Almost every gun you mention will have to be taken off of your shoulder in order to cock and shoot again, regain the target, etc. I would recommend saving another $150 and buying an AEA HP carbine. They are semi-auto, light, and a blast to shoot.I just went on an iguana hunt last month. I shot probably 5-6 mags on a single fill, and my partner did too, in 2-3 hours and we killed 40-50 iguanas. At one spot I know we killed at least 20, sometimes firing 5-6 shots without taking the gun off my shoulder. Most of the larger iguanas would take multiple shots to take them down.
You sound like an armchair commando so I recommend the Benjamin Armada.
A marauder is a classic but/and solid choice. The avenger gets a lot of praise at its 350$ price tag. I have 3 marauders and a armada and like all of them. I have an aea challenger bullpup and it's a decent gun for the money. Its heavy and has way more power then needed.The marauder has tons of mods and it's nice to have every part for the gun available at a phone call. I'm not familiar with the aea hp guns but it seems that people are liking them. I feel the prod is an low powered gun for what it is. As long as you understand the limits to each these guns you'll be happy. Bad thing is one always leads to another, before you know it you're addicted.

The HP carbine looks awesome but I really dont want to spend $650 on a what is essentially a toy for me. Hunting isnt my main purpose…. Its mainly for fun!
