Gamo Big Cat.

Squirrels, rabbits and raccoons caught in live trap.

I like it but it is not as accurate as I would like it to be.

I mainly do all my squirrel hunting with airguns these days. My favorite is the Benjamin 392 .22 caliber air rifle. I've also used the Crosman RS2 with the .177 barrel (the .22 barrel just wasn't accurate enough no matter what type of pellet I tried). Last year I tried out the Crosman American Classic .177 pistol. It worked pretty well up close.
To answer your question about the biggest thing I've shot, probably possum or armadillo.

It could be user error.

Or I'm just spoiled with my 17hmr.

I need to spend a little time with it and see if it is me or the gun.

i heard that exchangable barrel guns fall apart easy. something about the barrel screws or something?
