Favorite Squirrel guns

Who has one?
I've kille squirrels with everything from my Single Six revolver to my Predator Recurve
(just one with each), but my favorite squirrel weapon is my Marlin 39 .22.
It's a lever action carbine with 2-7x33 Redfield and it can't wait to drop some tree rats this year.

Nice! I have an old Savage .22 semi-auto with a 3-9x32. We hunt the Tennessee River bottoms that have those towering oaks all over the place.

20 gauge Wingmaster. Can't wait to shoot some doves with it in a couple weeks and then some tree rats a few weeks after that.

Sevens 22 single shot. Brings me back to childhood days.

I've always just used my 870 12 gauge. Been thinking about a 10/22 lately for the tree rats.

just in case you accidently misread the pamphlet and started hunting a day or 2 early..

I could not agree more.

Most of the time I will use my 12 gauge but the most fun gun to use for squirrel is my bolt action .410.

Double barrel .410 I have had since I was 8 years old.

12 gauge auto 5 with a full choke "lead only" barrel. No interchangeable chokes, so it doesn't qualify to do much else.

20ga Browning Gold Hunter. For some reason that thing is a squirrel killing machine.

I like the challenge of a .22 pistol with iron sights. Anyone can sit back and pop them with a scoped rifle. If we are taking about long guns I like my Remington Speedmaster with irons.

I like using powpow's old 16ga for nostalgic reasons, but it's just too damn easy. See squirrel, blast top of tree, collect shot to hell squirrel.
Putting .22 bullets in their ears is so much more challenging. And they're much nicer to clean when they don't have guts full of 6 shot.

Is that like a potato gun but loaded with a squirrel?

My favorite squirrel slayer definitely has to be my old Westchester bolt action .410 with a really long barrel. I picked it up for $40 in a pawn shop when I turned 18 years old.
It didn't have a front sight (had fallen out), but I found a little machine set screw that threaded into the hole just perfectly....it's still there and in use.
That thing has bagged everything under the sun from dove to deer.

I've got an old single shot H&R .410 that I like to use. Tons of fun to shoot, but the ammo is hell on a wallet.
