RE: What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?
just bought a savage 9317 today standard barrel with a accu-trigger topped it with a NcSTAR 3-9x40 ($35 dollar scope with a life time warranty) it is a mil dot i will hopefully shoot it tommorow and see if it is better than the regular trigger

I doubt that I'll hunt them this year, just not worth the time/effort to clean. I do have a Rem 597, .22LR, 4x BSA cheapo scope. Very accurate rifle at my plinking distance of 25 yards. I use the Federal 550 rd. 36 gr. hollowpoints from WalMart for $8.96 a box.

I have two and can never pick a favorite. The first is a Marlin 25mn .22 mag with a bushnell 4x scope. The second is a CZ .22 with an old Leupold. They are both tack drivers and are more accurate than I can shoot in the hunting woods.
