    Default what is your favorite squirrel gun?

    What is your favorite squirrel gun? and with what load.
    My top favorite is one that when you aim you're fix'n never to see that squirrel ever agian !
    It is my 6.5x55 with 85.0gn sierra varminter bullet with 41.0gn of IMR 3031! IT IS AWESOME!!
    My second favorite is a 12 gauge, one problem with that though, when I shoot a squirrel with my 12 gauge I am fix'n too blow a squirrel and 5 or 6 limbs out of the tree!!!
    (ITS FUN!!!).

    I like a Ruger 10/22 with Williams peep sight, same sight as on my deer rifle. After a month of hitting squirrels with head shots, the deer seem HUGE, even at longer ranges.
    If I can see it, I can hit it. Now, where did I put my glasses?

    My favorite squirrel gun was a High Standard auto 22 rifle. Best shooting 22 rifle I ever owned. Haven't hunted squirrel since it was stolen 8 years ago. I have taken care of a few apple thieves and bird feeder robbers with my shotgun since. Dale

    versifier,
    Since I don't have a 10/22 , I like my 6.5. I only have two 22s, I have a Ruger 77/22 22 Hornet and a old Savage arms model 3 single shot 22 LR. I've never in my life owned a semi auto in any caliber.

    I got a great deal on it 30+ years ago and must have put 10,000 rounds through it. As long as I clean it regularly it functions flawlessly. It just becomes a part of my arm when I lift it to shoot. I don't think I've ever had a rifle that fits me better. This one has the "fancy" walnut stock with actual checkering and no barrel band, and it's quite accurate with none of the aftermarket do-dads that are so popular now. It has certainly taken its share of tree rats over the years.

    For indoors, in the attic, we used a .410 with the shot replaced with uncooked rice. The cat would act like a bird dog after the shot as he liked his food still warm. We used to call it "oriental squirrel".
    If I can see it, I can hit it. Now, where did I put my glasses?
