Which rifle for Squirrels do you like the best?
- Thread starter GWTW
- Start date
For a Springer, depending on distances shot ... I would use a HW30S, HW50S or HW95. This also assumes you want a nice gun 
.
For a PCP, anything would work, just depends how much you want to spend ..... I have QB78's converted HPA which would be fine.
The above guns should be .177, .20 or .22 caliber - no need to use anything >.22 cal.

I meant the thread would be interesting. Is having fun on here not allowed? Asking for a friend
It’s a perfectly reasonable thread. Do you have a problem with it?

a 50 cal Hammer, so I don't have to go pick them up,,, just blast their little cornholes to a gazillion bits,,, geeeees, more fun than shooting little knock down targets
I told them little rodents,,, "stay off my bird feeders"
just kiddin, any accurate gun will do, it depends on distance you want shoot, that is the Question

Hard to just pick one, but I’ve put more squirrels down with my EdGun Lelya 2.0 in .25 caliber than other rifles.

My favorite is a xs60c from fdar, light and one hole accurate to 30yrds or so. If it's too cold for c02, usually the mrod or a buccaneer.

This is a very tough question. I hunt squirrel with 5 rifles. Just got done dialing in a 6th rifle that I hope will be my favorite. Those 5 rifles taught me a lot because of what I like and dislike about hunting with them. I’ll look for this topic on page 104 in October and hopefully have a definitive answer.

Currently my dreamtac compact in 22 using cphp pellets at 700fps. It’s accurate out to 40yds with these pellets, and I seldom shoot farther than that, otherwise I’d choose another rifle.

Right now it would have to be my Veteran shorty in .22, but I’m thinking hard about a Wildcat compact bt in .25.

My RAW .22 Chassis with an Accu-Tac PC-4 with legs extensions, Athlon Ares BTR 2.5-15x50 FFP MOA shooting either JSB 18gr or NSA 17.5gr....very very fun!
