My next door neighbor gave me the green light to cull tree rats eating the flowers in her yard so I did ...
Both were 15 yards or so and taken with a Gamo CF-X and Crosman Ultra mags..The lil one fell first with a clean shot to the ear and fell with a thump into the leaves..The larger who may be momma came running right to the branch I had just nailed the lil one on and started chattering...The ole girl gave me nothing but a view of of her rump while leaning over the branch looking at the fallen baby..thought for a second about taking a Texas heart shot but said nope "ima head shot only kinda guy"...So I waited...waited...waited... all the while my friend saying shoot....Nope...want her to look at me I said.Well she finally did and a second later she was laying next to the other..
The Ultra mag passed through the lil ones head clean..The momma caught it right between the left eye / ear with the pellet travling the skull,neck,exiting behind the right leg and coming to rest in the skin..

The ole girl also had a Gamo Rocket under her skin but I could find no scars..

Good shooting there.
My .177 CFX also really does well with Crosman Ultra Magnums, getting inside 5 shots inside 1/2" @ 25 yards.
They also penetrate like nobody's business.

Thanks all..Ive become selective about my shots and wont shoot if im not comfortable..Nailed another nutter awhile back from a standing position no rest and I pulled the shot to the right..He went down but was dragging himself across the yard...Had to run up, reload and dispatch him..Man I was *_*_*_*_*_*ed at myself for shooting from a position I know im weak at and causing a less that instant kill...
