marlin model 60 .22 lr...9X32 bushnell banner....lethal on squirrel

RE: What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?
 

Marlin 60 ... but if you want to make it a lot more fun, try using adult airguns. Capable of much better accuracy than rimfires, but in most cases you need to get closer and place shots more carefully. Don't get me wrong, most have enough energy to still kill at 100 yds.

RE: What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?
 

Marlin 917VS .17HMR bull barrel, 3-9x40 Simmons, Federal V-shok. its abit too much gun though for them, usually guts them.

RE: What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?
 

I use a Winchester M69A .22lr that I got for Christmas in 1962, when I was 12...It currently is wearing an old El Paso Weaver K 8 scope, but I have a Leupold M8 4X that I plan to put on it...

I also use a stock early 70s vintage Ruger 10/22 with a Williams Fire Dot front bead and a Williams rear peep sight...My old eyes can't focus on regular open sights anymore, but a peep still seems to work fine for me..

I am also LUSTING for a CZ 452 in .17 HMR..A buddy of mine has one with an el cheapo 3x9 scope..I've borrowed it a couple of times and it is a real tack driver..

RE: What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?
 

Favorite: CZ 452 American wearing a Leopold 3-9x33 EFR.

I also recently got a Beeman R9 in .20cal, topped it with a Bushnell Trophy 3-9x40 AO. I'm thinking that might make it in the woods at least a time or two this year as well.

remington feildmaster 572 .22

RE: What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?
 

I have a browning BLR .22 long rifle lever action.
With a tasco 3X9X40mm scope on it.

But the gun I use the most is a Taurus Tracker .22 cal long rifle revolver.
I get more of a chalange out of squirrel hunting
with a handgun.

I like to get as close as I can and pop the little buggers
out with the Taurus Tracker .22cal .
When I get a squirrel with it I know I have done something.
Or my Ruger Goverment Mark2 semiauto .22 cal pistol.
But mostly the Taurus Tracker.

RE: What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?
 

well i too have a marlin model 60 with a 3x9x40 scope on it, but i prefer to use my Marlin Model 783 .22 Mag. it has a 3x9x40 tasco scope on it with a 13 round tube feed. im shootin cci maxi mag 40 grain bullets and this puts it to them. I can kill a squirrel from 80-90+ yards as long as i have a solid rest.

RE: What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?
 

Remington mod. 597 with a 4X scope. i love it.

RE: What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?

22lr. i have a savage 3-9-32 on both of them and shoot winchester ammo that comes in a box od 500 32 grains

RE: What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?

RE: What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?

RE: What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?
 

long range: Marlin 917 (17HMR) with a Nikon Buckmasters 6-18 40mm (good scope for price and it has side focus)

It's great for crows too!

RE: What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?

RE: What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?

RE: What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?
 

CZ 452 Super BRNO .22LR(28 inch barrel), BSA 4-12x40 Mil Dot. Deadly...even at 100 yds. No kidding.

RE: What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?
 

i got a single shot rossi. its pretty sweet but it shoots extremely low, like a foot at 20yds. i got itas a present so i would feel bad if i took it back.

RE: What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?
 

i would like to get a 10/22, or a 597 or something. think you guys could help me i want one for under $200 or maybe a little more.:)

RE: What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?
 

I use a Marlin 25n with a cheap little Tasco Pronghorn. Not sure on the size of the scope.

henry 22 lr with 4x bushnell

RE: What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?
 

hey Brod Man try a scope on it the open sight on my henry suck so bad i didnt llike shooting it then one day i was messing around in my reloading room and found some mounts and i had a cheap 4x scope laying around so i put it on and now it is the only 22 i shoot any more

RE: What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?
 

Check the end of your barrel bore for snags or burrs.There is something wrong with the end of the bore to shoot foot low at 20 yrds.Take a real fine file and clean the end up a bit. The burr would be on the top.

RE: What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?
 

Stock Ruger 10/22 with a 4x BSA scope. i use cci mini mags for ammo.

RE: What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?
 

I have a Remington 597 LSS with a Nikon prostaff 4x32.

RE: What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?
 

i thought about fileing down the front sight since it wont go any lower. my dad said that would help.

RE: What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?
 

i just use a 10/22.

RE: What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?
 

An old walnut stocked Ruger auto with a fairly new Weaver 2.5 power scope. Ammo=Remington solid point subsonic.

Bowtech;)

RE: What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?
 

I use a Savage model 24 over/under 22/410 with Remington Yellowjacket 22 ammo and Federal 3 inch 410 shells in a #4 or #6. I also hunt with a Bear 55 lb. recurve bow useing a Flu-flu arrow with a rubber blunt tip.

RE: What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?
 

Ive got the Mossberg 702 Plinkster .22LR. It is a really nice setup, not a name brand scope, but it gets the job done mighty fine.

the only problem is it is a bit loud with the CB Longs...and those are the only things i can put in the clip...to make it quieter, I have to hand load each CB short.
