RE: best squirrel guns

I use my 11-87,and modified choke.Full in late season.I also have a ruger 77/22 that I love plinking them out of the tree tops with.Shotguns are probably the best for getting a squirrel.22's are best for headshots,and saving meat.IMO.I don't like chewing on #6's.;)

Theres no Magic Gun or Bullet.

So the best squirrel Gun is the one that you can hit them with.

I want a 17 Mach2 But Mr. Bill Prevails.

You know Bill don't you
( Light bill - phone bill - house payments - Etc - Etc )

I doesn't matter how much a gun cost if you can't hit
The side of a barn while inside.

So to me the best gun is the one that works for you.

I use a Ruger 10/22, a Ruger 10/17 HMR, Ruger .204. And no, I don't Favor Ruger, just liked the reliability of the rifles, espeically for varmints. My Tikka, Sako, and Remington rifles are for bigger game, from coyote on.

RE: best squirrel guns

i use full choke 12 gauge with #6 shot. i dont understand what they are talking about. i can always get all the shot out of the squirrels pretty easy. I also use a .17 hmr but i wouldnt recomend it for squirrel because if you dont make a good head shot it is catastrophic on the meat. Id try a .17 mach 2. i dont think it would do a lot of harm to the meat

RE: best squirrel guns

I killed over 50 one year using primarily a 410 with #6 shot. The last two years, I have used a 17. It makes a bigger hole than a .22 but I haven't had any that were really tore up, even when shooting fairly small greys.
