Another vote for the RWS 34, and the combo package that "airgun_target" suggested is a great deal. You’re getting an adjustable mount and the scope for only $3 more than the rifle alone sells for.
If you don’t want the scope and mount, I’m quite sure you can sell them for more than $30.
The only others that I would highly recommend in that price range are the Benjamin 392(.22) or 397(.177)

>>Gamo Shadow Express or Viper Express air shotguns<<
IMO, of all the airguns ever built they are among the very worst…They are worthless as shotguns, because they’re not powerful enough to take anything but a tiny bird or maybe a mouse at 10 yards..And since they’re a smooth bore they’re worthless as a .22 because they don’t have "hunting accuracy" even at 10 yards.. Do NOT waste your money…
Not to mention those Gamo shotshells cost $7.50 for 25

i would get a .177 gamo varmint hunter ! i got one last summer and i can shoot bottle caps at 45 yards. .177 also has a flatter trajectory than the .22 and is alot faster! i would advise just use proper pointed airgun pellets instead of bb’s as they are not as accurate, powerful and are not good for the rifling in the barrel ! I have a 6x magnification scope i got at walmart for $6 on it and its a perfect little gun , great for plinking because its deadly accurate and great for shooting rabbits and rats ! recommend it any day !
benjamin 392 or remmington summit
