The R9 is a great little rifle, but I agree with BlakBranch that 50 yards is a long ways. I love the R9 for squirrels. 22 is better, but I've killed a pile of them with the 177. If you don't mind carrying around the extra weight, the RWS 350 (break barrel) or RWS 48 (fixed barrel) in 22 have the power for longer range shots.
