Budget and PCP do not go hand in hand. If you are on a budget you are really looking at springers. There is added cost with PCP such as pumps that add quite a bit to your purchase price.
If you are after quality , go German. Walther, Weihrauch, Diana, Anshultz, Feinwerkbau (never bothered learning how to spell it, can't afford them)
Air Arms from England also make good stuff, but I haven't seen a real lot of them around.
Spaniards and British make the next best quality BSA, Cometa, Gamo etc.
And then there is junk from China.
The old saying "Good ain't cheap, Cheap ain't good" is a little more apparent in air rifles. The German stuff are actual rifles , not toys. Quality adult guns that all shoot very accurately.
The cheaper Spanish and English guns are often built to a price point and can be a bit cheap and plastic. Some of them shoot very straight though. They also have some more expensive better quality models.
The Chinese stuff is just ******, I know some guys have accurate ones but most are just rubbish.
The all important question is, how much do you want to spend?
I have a Weihrauch HW77K that is stupidly accurate
