22 Benjamin pump up #392S I bought one in high school a half century ago seals gave out about six years ago. Dime size groups @ 30 yards were the norm. Killed a ton of squirrels and rabbits with it. Head shots no problem.
392S is the current edition of the old 392 wood stocked model I bought, the new one has a synthetic stock, got to look all tactical don’t ya know? I have a .22 break bbl walther “falcon “ spring piston 1000+FPS with lead. And a benjaman .22 nitro trail break bbl nitro Piston 1000+FPS with lead. Neither one is as accurate as the original but they still get the job done.

Air Arms 410 in .22 Was the most accurate I have ever had . I used to clear golf courses of rabbits with it and have killed a lot of them with that rifle. It shot just sub sonic and I had a suppressor on it making it very quiet.

Try the new ballistic tips. No squirrel running off with one of those thru him from ribs forward . My boy recovered some of those. Some still had the tip and the ones that didn't were barely deformed. These were .22 at 850fps. Marketing fad. They don't move fast enough to open up.

I have a Ruger Blackhawk(I know it's a popular pistol, lol), It's a .177 single breakover, and it is accurate with iron sights. Most of these intermediate guns need to have a special scope, but if you get into the "big boy" guns with compressed air they MAY be more forgiving, all depends what you want to spend.

I got my boys each a Benjamin maximus pcp on sale for 135 each and free shipping. Accurate and deadly not breaking the bank. Used them for trap line last season. Worked flawlessly.

Can also depend on the pellet you shoot...we have some looks like a bb jacketed in plastic, and they will shoot through a 55 gal drum!
