I had a huge number of ground squirrels around here when I moved in. I bought a RWS Diana 48 in .177. After zeroing it in, I took out lots & lots of squirrels with it using just the iron sights. Don't remember the cost, but it's been super efficient. I haven't used it in a long time now. Seems like the squirrels are gone except for one or two that really high tail it when they see me. The longest distance I dropped one was 100+ ft. Maybe I hit it just right & was lucky, but it dropped and tumbled down the embankment. I haven't noticed any lack of stopping power. Maybe with something slightly bigger though. Since I only wanted to get rid of ground squirrels, I haven't tried shooting other animals.
