i dont know the price range now, but in the '80s i bought an HBAR mossberg .22lr with lyman sights for a couple 100 bucks, and till this day it, on a bench rest at 100yds, it can punch endless lead, JHP, or FMJ bullets through 1/4" holes virtually regardless of ammo brand. not sure the quality or price of these now (im not home so i cant check the model number, which I forget), but you could include mossy's in your search.
