Thanks for all the advice, turbow. I think I'm going to go with the Beeman R9. You say .20 cal, eh? I do want something good enough for squirrels too, so I guess that's a little better for them than .177. Is the sound much less than a .22? What scope should I get?

If you are ever in the states, email me and I'll have you out to my place to small game hunt!
