I have a Daisy Powerline for getting the rats out of my orange trees. Don't really know much about air rifles, just went to get it for like $50 at Academy when I noticed those fucks nesting in my trees.
Do you know anywhere I could get a Magazine made or re-produced? I bought a prototype Brocock last year, it's a brilliant rifle, but never came into production, I've got in touch with some guys from a gun show, but they never got back to me.
I want to just plink random shit with an air rifle. Does anyone have suggestions for something accurate and fun within 100 yards under 200$?

for $200 you can get a walther terrus - best you will find in this pice range. 50 meters with a quality air rifle is bottle cap shooting distance, but 100 is quite far - you'd need a FAC rated pcp and you won't get that for 200 bucks.
It is possible to hit something at 200 yards with a springer, but it took Twig quite a few tries with a $600 rifle:

Thank you for the suggestions. I am fine under 100 yards, I just don't know what is standard for air rifles. I like shooting off of iron sights preferably. Do you think shooting with an air rifle improves your marksmanship and aim for rifles?

It does. Spring piston rifles are quite hold-sensitive compared to centerfire, and require good follow through.

get a break open nitro piston, they are really nice and you can get a good one for $100-150

if you want to go $100-150, sure, but crossman cannot compete with Walther. If you want a quality rifle, you get something european - Air Arms, Walther, Weihrauch, Diana, Daystate, Feinwerkbau, Steyr, to name a few.
Nitro pistons are good for lower end rifles as a way to reduce vibration, but high end springers, like the tx200hc in OP are all spring guns, and most of them (pretty much all but the LGV) are fixed barrel, underlever guns.
Also - going to amazon is unwise to put it mildly. If you want to buy an air rifle in the US, you go to pyramidair.com
Have been using a Gamo Big Cat 1250 to kill raccoons/coyote/rats/starlings/possums/feral cats that come onto my farm for the last few years. Hasn't failed me yet
