That sorta where I'm at. Looking at M63 as lighter smaller trail gun option in comparison to the M617. But I don't want to give up too much in the "accuracy" dept for taking squirrels, perhaps upto ~25yd or so (typical tree rat range). But if the M617 is going to give me the advantage then that's just the way it has to be and I'll have to learn to live with it.
As a sidenote, I notice that women seem to have a harder time shooting the 617 due to its weight. I know that it's a relatively heavy gun, ~45oz, but didn't realize it's impact of female shooters.
