Default What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?

I am just wondering what everyone is shooting for there squirrel hunting RIFLE. I am set up right now with a Marlin 25M in .22 mag. I love this gun very accurate, I have an old school weaver 4x on it and use the 50gr. hollow points from federal. I would like to hearabout your rigset up ammo, scope, and caliber.

I shoot either a custom 10/22 with a fajen stock, 22" shilen .920 barrel, an 8X40X56 target scope shooting federal classics solids
Or a savage mark II LH varmint with a weaver V16 with 1/4 MOA dot, chambered in 17 HM2, shoots any of the ammo about the same, its all made by hornady.

I shoot a stock 10/22 with a Nikon 4X scope. For ammo, I use Federal "Gold Medal" target loads in 40 grain. I find much better accuracy with these than the higher speed rounds. I typically only take head shots, so the solid point isn't an issue.
