That depends on what you call cheap?
You should be able to get something secondhand at your local gunsmiths, you are meaning an air rifle? With air rifles, in my experience you are better off with a poor condition good quality one than a new crappy one. One I had many years ago was a BSA airsporter, underlever with a 40mm scope, quite accurate and I guess now you could pick it up for peanuts, something like that would do you.

I'm not suggesting anything, so lose the snotty attitude
Where you are shooting in terms of type and size of land will have a bearing on what type of 'gun' as you call it, to recommend .
OK then how about one of these? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EVqT3XEzss dont know how much they cost but I think they would stop a jackdaw quite well even if you winged it.....
.577 T-Rex is a very powerful round. Think, Africa. Not much demand for it, and the components use a lot of raw materials, so it probably works out several squids per round. Those guys were beginners, not taught good technique. Not really fair to do that; it's like giving a greenhorn a heavy felling axe and telling him to go fell a redwood...
