Looking for a new squirrel rifle, was looking at dome 22's but the price on some of those sre just insane. Would a 17 HMR be too much? Don't care for a shotgunand generally take headshots

17 would mess them up I would think... I like my Ruger 10-22 a lot, guess it depends on how far you're shooting as to what gun to get...

I usually use a pellet gun but found a place that may need 100+ yard shots

I use a Remington bolt action .22 and it is deadly. I usually shoot match grade ammo in it. Not sure about 100 yd headshots though.

If you hunt with me and Beadlescomb you'll wish you had a shotgun. Them sobs don't offer head shots willingly.


Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!

I dont like using a shotgun because of meat loss, we usually average 50 yard head/neck shots with the pellet guns

That's right sounds like world war 3 when you bust one out of the nest.

You'd lose all the meat when they timber out

Sling shot with steel balls. Hundred yard shot to the head no problem you just mess up the best part the brains.

I have a .17hmr, and tested it on squirrels. Has to be a head shot or there's nothing left but a tail. Still use mine though. Very accurate.


Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.

My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

So true! I shot one in the hind leg and there was nothing worth saving except the opposite hind leg. The plastic tips expand a bunch and take out a lot of meat. Head shots from now on.

Best bang for the buck will be a Marlin or Savage bolt action. I picked up a used CZ 455 last year but I gotta bed the barrel to get what I expect for accuracy.


I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.
