What's your go to squirrel gun?

[J.O.B]

I will be using my Gamo magnum gr .22 cal air rifle. Topped with a mantis 3-9x32 which has held up to the recoil of the springer. I'm also running the 21 grain Patriot Javlin slugs.
this in also my go to rig for other varmints and predators.





good hunting

Been a lot of years since I've hunted squirrels. But if I was to start again I think my gun would be my AyA 410.

If I were relying on squirrel dinners for survival then my Beretta SxS 20 gauge would probably get the call. Especially early in the season when the trees are greened up. Later when the leaves are turning colors and falling my old stainless boat paddle Ruger 77/22 .22LR bolt gun or the newer Ruger 10/22 Custom Shop Competition rifle would probably be the ones. But for pure joy, the old Marlin M39A with peep sight is a natural woods rifle that I have killed a lot of critters with over the years.

The same as it’s been for 40-50 years. My break-down, Belgium made Browning .22 semi auto

Nice rifle! I have always liked the Remington semi-auto .22.

Thanks. I’m hoping to put it to use this weekend, it’s our opener.

Been thinking about this and what ammo? I'd still pick my AyA 410 but I'd use 1/2oz 6's with a 2 1/2" shell. I use it quite a bit shooting pigeons training my dogs and think 1/2oz of 6's would be fine and not carry to far off. Have 3" 11/16oz loads for working with the dogs

my 10/22 would be the go-to. ear hole ventilator at 50 yds with subs.
