Looking at getting a cheap Walmart pumper. Already have a the $38 Crossman 760, Sheridan Bluestreak, Crossman 140 and vintage Crossman 761XL. Looking at Daisy 880, Crossman Legacy 1000, Barra 1866 an Ruger NXG APX pumper. All of these airguns are in the $60 to $70 dollar range. I want to buy the most accurate. Note I plan to buy some more vintage pumpers but saving money for those and have that itch to get another airgun that cannot wait. Thank you in advance for all replies.

"Most accurate" and "$60-70 range" is an oxymoron. Spend a bit more, get a bit more accuracy! I truly understand the itch but you'd be better served by putting the $ in your "better gun" kitty.

Of those, the Daisy 880 is your best bet. I haven't seen one that wouldn't outshoot any of the 760s that I have.
Luck,

I bought a new 880 about 2 3 years ago, put a moderator on it, $10 dollar rings and a 4x barska AO scope i had laying around. Thing is stupid accurate and very quiet.

Barra 1866 Cowboy. Purchased this adult size model from Walmart’s website for $69. The youth model from Amazon $46. The adult model weighs just under 5 lbs so it’s substantial. The stock and gold receiver are plastic and pretty much the rest is metal. It pumps up to 10 times. Shoots pellets or bb’s at around 650 fps. Very accurate.

This was the first Airgun I bought and happy with it. Stock has that old school mil surp look and feel.
When shooting them at 10m it’s been fine. My issue is I want to shoot it at 25/50yards and it’s just way too weak for that.
Never really liked multi pumps. Wish we had more ssp to choose from. Some that actually have some power.

Some clarification. Under $100 and buying for Walmart is the only way I can buy an airgun now. Otherwise my wife knows about it. Anyway some of you may have to deal with the wife factor as I have for 40 years. They just do not understand us. She hates guns including air rifles. Treats me like I have a drinking problem.

Walmart and an accurate air rifle. If I saw one I'd be left dazed,confused,baffled as if I just a saw a LSD induced flying unicorn pig.

Update: Decided to go the vintage route. Bought a 1984 recently resealed Daisy 880 on EBAY. Cost was $100 plus $25 shipping. Had metal side receiver plates and metal pump handle. I thought it was a fair value since new cheaper made 880s are $60, However, there are a lot of used 880s on EBAY. Put on a dovetail to Picanny offset adapter and a Bugbuster 3x12. Pretty accurate. I only tried one type of pellet (RWS match) and only did a 3 shot group at 20 yards. Chonographed velocityy with 7.4 gr Crossman Destroyer pellets at 651 fps. One thing is the Crossman Premier 10.5 gr dome pellets will not fit in the breach. Even with the raised scope mount, takes patience to load even using a tweezer and a flashlight. Maybe the worse of all my pumpers. Thanks for all the replies.

Everyone tried to tell you but your criteria was purchase from Wallmart. Should have looked at a Benjamin 312 or 342 or Crossman 140 or 1400. You would have been satisfied with one of them.
