RE: What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?
I shoot a stock 10/22 with a Nikon 4X scope. For ammo, I use Federal "Gold Medal" target loads in 40 grain. I find much better accuracy with these than the higher speed rounds. I typically only take head shots, so the solid point isn't an issue.

RE: What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?
a texas arms woodchucker in 22lr is the weapon of choice here. It's the size of a cricket but it hasa 5 shot clip. It's one sweet little rifle and i love it being compact for carrying around through the squirrel woods. I have a 3-9x 32mm bushnell 22scope on it and shoot remington golden hp bullets. Works great for me. I attached a picture of the rig. It's got its fair share of battle wounds but i think it adds character!

RE: What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?
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.

RE: What is your Squirrel hunting RIFLE rig?
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.
