Sunny morning squirrel!

Woke up with the expectation of rain today but the forecast changed so I decided to try out some different pellets in my kral mega. Never tried air arms 16 grain and they didn't disappoint. Made one ragged hole at 32 yards, little tighter than the usual hades 15.89 it shoots.

Was going to put her away when I noticed some tails flicking in the brush. Waited for a few minutes occupying my time on AGN and this little spring time squirrel came to the pecans. He kept grabbing one and climbing to the top of my backstop, which is just some vertical oak logs, and could reach down to get them. I had to time my shot just right and I got him thru the top of the head and out the center of his throat! The dance and blood spray was intense!

Good shot and good looking rifle too! I like traditional type rifles with walnut stocks.
Thanks! I feel the same. I have a couple bottle guns but with walnut stocks. I really want an FX but most of them are just ugly to me. If I ever get one it'll be a dreamline classic in 22 with the walnut or laminate pepper stock.
 
Nice pic! I can only imagine what that dance looked like. 😳 Good job!
Thank you! It just kept hopping around and edging closer and closer to the neighbor's fence. I'm so glad I didn't have to jump the fence and get it, that is the one neighbor that's not fond of my shooting but as long as her kids aren't out or the dead don't end up in her yard she keeps quiet.
