    Well it would be cool to have a pair of boobies!!

    When I say I "own" a .22 I meant it was given too me, now looking into it I just think that .177 is more versatile, can be easilly used for hunting, yet for target's at 50 yards or so can be much more effective (easier ) than .22... (this is from what i've read, not actually tried it yet )

    God Again?

    Well:
    .177 lighter, flatter trajectory beter for targets
    .20 flight trajectory similar to a .177 but stopping power of a .22
    .22 Less forgiveing trajectory, beter stopping power and overall distance
    .25 Just to dam big/heavy to bother with
    Shot Many 0000's of Rats, Shame very few ever lived long enough to tell the tale of the great rat killer....

    Well it is the girly caliber I hear JSB are giving coupons with their 177 tins of pellets, when you get 25 they send you a bra 50 you get a frock and 100 you get a suspender belt crotchless nickers and a pair of fishnet stockings.
