Show us your squirrel gun for this season!

[Mg616]

In transition to a .25 Veteran standard as I wanted the same accuracy but more energy vs. the Impact .177 at 19 fpe. My designated tree rat KZ ranges from 20 - 40 yards, right in the sweet spot. Bought it on the forum (thanks @madeintheuk) and it is shooting very well with the lighter JSB's, so far limited to my basement 10m range with my backup 90's Bushnell while I wait for my optic. 6 tins of Hades on standby.

Going to give these rings a try...

Plenty for everybody up here! Come on up....

Unreal how they keep showing up even at the end of the season. Chipmunks have vanished - neighbor got ticked and brought out the buckets.

Thanks to a surprise backorder I went with the 10x prismatic. Nice setup, love the wide field of view. Haven't changed the dial on my main shooter in ages, should be the ticket.

I'll be running the FX Maverick VP in .30 cal and if I get a buddy to go along with me, he'll get the Benjamin Bulldog .357, which is pure overkill, but a blast nonetheless!

Semi-auto Marauder, I've got quite a few squirrels and rats with this set up.

Took me 1hr. this morning to get the limit. Huben K-1 and slugs are dangerous medicine for squirrels.

I love sharing! Lol. Go between these three this “season”. Uragan .25 - 29gr NSA, Maverick Conpact .30 - Hades 44.75, Wildcat MK2 .25 - 34gr FX.

Used my .25 cricket 2 for the past two seasons. Season opened Saturday and I got to start it off with my new Maverick sniper .30. Only hunted a little over an hour but decent results. I’m excited to get more time with it. Had to move my tree stand and finish my honey do’s so I couldn’t give much time to the squirrels this weekend.

Used the leshiy 2 in .22 for my outing today. Got 4 total, but one was stuck in the tree (never happened to me before), so here are only 3 of them.
This makes 7 total this week with this gun. Super happy with it so far!

I’ll start the season with either my XS60C or one of my Crosman model 1400 pumpers. .22 cal, 14 fpe, lazer accurate at thirty yards. Once it cools off and the leaves are off the trees I’ll switch to the Crosman Summit Rangers or the Hatsan mod 95 for shots beyond thirty yards. I’ll also carry either my recently acquired sawed off Crosman Fire or it’s mate, the sawed off Shockwave if I decide to hunt squirrels from a canoe. Late in the season when the squirrels are wary I’ll switch to one of my big Hatsan mod 125’s for those forty plus yard shots. In the course of the season I’ll try and hunt with every gun pictured here.

Decided to change it up. Picked this guy up for $200. Gamo Arrow PCP. 10 minutes of tuning and it's set up for squirrel. 20 shots at 907fps avg with Hades in .22cal. Going to run it open sights as most of my shots are under 25 yards and I want to keep it very light.

 

[rcs9250]

Not meaning to hijack but I see “pumpers” mentioned periodically. Are there any pumpers made with manometers or are they meant to just count pump strokes ?

 

[ZedCee]

my new squirrel rifle...

then if I'm feelin' lazy and just wanna sit with my morning coffee on da front porch... I'll just "listen" to da "Cricket(s)"

at the moment, too many leaves on the trees. But from time to time, that hasn't mattered much.
