Which rifle for Squirrels do you like the best?

[muddydogz]

For squirrels, two diana 34s in .22, both vorteked and scoped. Out to 40 it's a done deal with cp pellets. When i want to go with open sights it's a steroided benji in .22 and jsb heavies shoot the best but range is a little shorter because of old eyes.

A .22 caliber Crown MK2, 500mm barrel tuned to 15.89 grain Hades pellets is my go-to small game and pesting airgun.

Great shot-count, light to carry and pin-point accuracy.

I dont think id like any squirrel with a rifle ( or pistol). They mite be a better shot then me and put that shoe on the other foot.. so before that happens i just pop'em with the ol' whamo gamo .22 ..

8-1/2 year old, .22 FX Royale. Brutally accurate and effective squirrel rifle.

Brutally accurate, I love it! We are going to war against the squirrels - chewed wires and harassing the cat.

Looking to see which ones you like the best

Uragan2 shooting jsb 16.1’s zero your scope at 20 yards and she’ll shoot flat to 40 yards.

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

I tell the squirrels that they are going to become dumplings, but a gazillion bites sounds even better.

 

[GWTW]

Cheap choice I know lol, but it works great. Best $150 I ever spent.

I will have to look into this one, it is going to be for squirrels only which are a nuisance with many other descriptive words added before and after.

I meant the thread would be interesting. Is having fun on here not allowed? Asking for a friend

I laughed so that is what counts since I asked the question. Life is way too short to not have a little fun.

I’ve got too many that I really like to just pick one, but that’s what makes our hobby so much fun.

If walking I would take R9 .20. If I was defending my property a HW97kl .20. Crow

 

[orangeokie]

The Caiman is in .25 and the Akela in .177. Both are laser beam accurate on Minute of Squirrel.

walking the woods here in Yellville, Arkansas, Daystate Huntsman Revere in .22
Just sitting on a stump near a pond, Brocock Sniper XR in .22 cal Not as easy to carry, but higher shot count.

As long as you don't mention anything with the number 2 or the letter A you're fine.

My .25 Stormrider built by Wes at Airgun Archery Fun. Light enough to carry all day, 28 shots at 22 fpe and dime sized groups at 25 yards with my cast 27 grain pellets.

I roll my own lol -

Cothran Machine 2250 bottle build in .22 caliber in a Tom West stock -

 

[elh0102]

If I am watching for squirrels in the yard, I generally use my HW100 .177. It's tuned down to under 12 fpe, so it's virtually silent, but still effective at the maximum distance of 30 yards or so. If I were hunting in the woods, I would probably take the FX Royale 400. It's not too heavy, very accurate, and never varies its POI. I guess I can say the same about the Daystate Revere, so maybe it's a tie.

 

[Trucker3573]

Lol. Again I just have to laugh but hey thanks for a new thread man.

 

[mobilemail]

Every air rifle I own but one would be capable of tree-chicken getting. That said, my preference is a Daystate Huntsman Regal XL in .22 or .25. A marauder is a very adequate beer budget replacement.

 

[Firewalker]

Depends on the distance. Under 30y, Notos .22. Up to 60y, AEA Carbine. 22. Up to 100y, FX Maverick. 25
