RE: what kind of gun do you use for small game
I just purchased a CZ 453 .22LR w/ single set trigger. Iscoped it witha Burris 4-12x32 Compact w/Traget Knobs. The trigger was easily adjustable and I've got the regular trigger set at 3Lbs and the single set at 12Oz. I haven't gotten to hunt with it yet but it's awasome on the range.

I got a Ruger 77/17 Varmint in the Spring. I put a new sear in so the trigger pull is only 2 Lbs. Pretty accurate at the range and makes a mess out of pickles, peaches and such. Vaporizes them!!! Have it outfitted with a 6.5X24x50 Barska scope. Pretty sweet rig... Only took it out once for squirrel but didn't see anything. Going up state (PA) over the weekend. An old buddy of mine asked me to go up to his cabin. He says the place is filthy with squirrel. Claims to get his limit in only a couple of hours. I can't wait.

Mossberg Maverick 88, and Winchester 9422 with iron sights. I want to get more into Black Powder squirrel hunting. I just have to figure out a way to make some extra money to pay for the gun(s).

I use a bolt actin .410 for rabbits, and a .22lr (Rossi pump) for squirrels. I have an NEF .223 for varmints, but haven't been able to break it in yet.
