i agree that the .22 pellet guns are better for game hunting, but the .177 gets the job done also at 50yrds or under and depending on the pellet and where you hit the prey. there is such a huge variety of pellets. from the traditional round nose and wad cutters to hollow point and polymer tipped ones. i have a gamo shadow hunter that is pretty accurate, depending on the pellet. squerrels and pidgeons dont have a chance. rabbits need a good head shot. this place has a good selection of guns and pellets.
