Old Savage 20-ga single shot. But I ain’t been in awhile.

This ^^. Doesn't have to be hollow point for me, just a head shot. My 10/22 shoots about everything pretty well. It's not quite as accurate as my old glenfield but it runs better. My papaw would eat the brains so had to neck shoot them - lol. He's long gone and I'm not eating the brains so....

When my eyes were younger, a Browning takedown 22 that shoots shorts. Lately, a Remington 541 Custom Sporter 22 with a 2-7 Leupold scope.

I have a couple nice 22's for when I want to play sniper but if I want to bring home some meat I'll carry a 12ga with #5's.

I’ve always hunted early season with a 12 ga Rem 870 shooting #4 game loads, imp cylinder choke. I can put the bead just in front of a squirrel’s nose and end up with pretty clean meat. I use a Marlin Model 60 and scope for late season once leaves are gone. If I’m out to get a limit quick then a shotgun is always my choice.

.32 Cal Muzzleloader has been my go-to for a while now. I would clear the woods of them in short order if I was a shotgun hunter.

Cz 455 90% of the time. I did have fun last year with a .410, I bought one of the Stevens 301s and put a Burris ff3 on it. Really fun squirrel gun.

Used 410 and 12 when we was teenagers now I use a marlin model 25, 10/22 , 17hmr(head shots only) the polymer tips are ruff on them. Put together a 10/22 take down lite model this year put it in a magpul xt22 backpacker stock, and put a sig 1x power red dot. Bx trigger should make a fine squirrel gun

An old Ruger 77/22 with a just as old Leupold Vari-X 3-9x compact on it, using CCI mini mag solids. Keeps the pecan thieving bastages in check.
