I have the marlin 17v in heavy barrel. Awesome little bullet. I've killed quite a few squirrels with it. Pretty challenging because its accurate but if you want any meat you have to make head shots. Lucked up last summer and killed a crow way out there. At least 200 yards. Held high. the crow layed his wings out thought i missed him. Then he jumped onto a low tree. after about another minute as i got there he fell. Down here we have nutras. They are about the size of groundhogs. They destroy marsh and resemble large rats. (maybe 10-15 pounds) Out in the marsh you can take shots out to 600 yards. Its ideal because you can see the bullet hit the water and adjust your aim. I'm yet to try it for this but hopefully will this summer. We've hit them with 22s at 200 but it just surprises them. Airboat, 25 round clip,a thousand rounds, and for your work 3 dollars per nutra.
