Does anyone know of a reasonably priced airgun, that is powerful enough to take small game (like rabits and the such), that has a refilable resivoir or pump action?

It depends on what you call reasonable. Sheridan has a good .20 cal. that is more than adequate for small game. I've taken a hundred or more squirrels and rabbits with mine. With high quality ammo, the accurcy is is very good. If you want real power a Beeman Kodiak in .22 or .25 cal. will take small hogs, but they are a bit more expensive. I know of Beemans that are 15 years old and have fired thousands of shots that still work fine. Cabelas sells a unit made in Korea called a Career 707. Unbelievable power. If I were purchasing a compressed air unit, this would be it.

RWS makes fine products as does Beeman's. I prefer the one stroke types; my Sheridan wore me out pumping ( 10 pumps to achieve maximum velocity ). If you go with .17 cal., choose a unit that will provide at least 900 fps. Expect to spend $150 for a quality airgun tha will fulfill all of your criteria.
