RWS is one that comes to mind.

Steyr is good as well, though it's Austrian

Even the modern pneumatic air rifles may be somewhat under-powered for goat. The muzzle velocities are typically far lower than that of .22lr rifles and the light projectile (even a .22 air rifle) might leave it rather wanting in energy compared with even a .22lr rifle.

The price of a good air rifle capable of doing what you want would buy you a reasonable .222 or similar which would be a lot more appropriate for goats if you are serious about shooting them. Air rifles are totally inappropriate.

Hell - I wouldn't point one at anything larger than a rat... so rabbit and possums are out too.

I'm with MDU here

Make the effort to get a firearm licence if you're serious about shooting creatures bigger then a robbin.
