I've killed several (rat)coons with my .177. Took it to the camp to keep the squirrels out of the bird feeder this past weekend, but the little rascals somehow know when I have a gun I plan to shoot them with, and stay away. Could have tried it on a big swamp rabbit, but the rabbits out there are so tame it just wouldn't be sporting to shoot one. I considered a .22 when I bought my latest Benjamin, probably found the .177 at a real good price?
