Back when my 78 deluxe was operational I used to take squirrels and chipmunks inside of 12 yards with mine.

I've taken plenty of starlings and a some pigeons with my  MM tuned .177 cal QB 78-D.  I also have one in .22 cal,,, also tuned by MM and it's a fine hunter.  Using Predator pellet I have taken nutters with it and even whacked a couple of g-hogs.  The g-hogs were close range, within 20 yards.  It's a fine hunting rig if the weather cooperates.

My QB wouldn't kill a starling let alone a tree-rat at 30yr until i rebuilt the probe (after i broke it) and added a screw in the spring chamber to increase the strikers force. Now they drop like pest.
