I have borrowed several times for the same purpose, and decided to buy my own rifle; I bought a Beeman Black Cub, dual caliber (.177 and .22). I found that, while the RWS shoots a very quick slug, it was not big enough to take down the big ones (slug was going right through them). I now use the .22 in the Beeman, and it is deadly. But around your farm, especially for ground hogs, you are going to need the bigger slug. Mine is a barrel-break to charge (not pre-charged) and it works great for me.

Good luck...
