If you just want an accurate .22 to do headshots on squirrels there is a a whole lot topick from. Ahenry lever rifleis more than accurate enough to dispatch squirrels and it is only $200 or so. Sure you can get more accurate rifles but if all your going to be doing is shooting offhand in the field than you cannot really expect anymore accuracy than the henry or any other low cost .22 can give you. If you are talking about target shooting or those black death targets, its another matter entirely, but headshots on squirrels is very doable under 30 yds with any decent .22 and some practice and still doable at under 50 yds with any decent .22 and a good scope.( this is for someone like me who thinks about shooting alot more than I actually get a chance to)hope it helps.
