FAM's use sig 229 in .357sig, Da/SA no DAK triggers, at least not on the guns I've seen. The reason behind it I heard was because the head of the FAM program was a former Secret Service bigwig and they used Sigs, of what caliber I do not know. No real science just familiarity with the weapon...
I put a bushnell elite 4200 2.5x10.
It seems to have pretty good optics. I bought the firefly reticle. which works ok not a replacement for an illuminated one.
I'm shooting a Sako 75 AV in 270 winchester. Currently I'm getting 3.5-4 inch groups at 100 yards. I'm shooting remington core-lokt 130 grains. I know its cheap but what else should I try, going heavier maybe 150 grains?
Yes the rifle is an older sako .270. It had been sitting in my fathers safe for years, and i didn't have a deer rifle so he gave it to me. He won it years ago at a friends of the NRA dinner. I just had to get a scope. I went with the bushnell 4200 2.5-10 with firefly.
I have more pictures...
You guys are freaking kidding right? We have a creek just behind our office that had 4 in it this year, not anymore:) Had some last year too. A buddy of mine had a creek on his farm and we went down and shot them all the time.
Update
I have to give those squirrels some credit. They aren't as dumb as I thought they were. My Dad had a birdfeeder that was tied up in a tree with some string and the little buggers chewed through the string so the feeder would fall and they could get the seed out. So he used some wire...

A local farm supply has these for 900, is there a better safe for that kind of money? I'm in Oregon if that matters.
A call to more expirienced air rifle hunters
In the interest of a more humane kills on squirrels. Which is the cause of the poor performance of the pellet rifle of my father on squirrels. Is the answer to get a faster .177 pellet rifle or to move up in caliber to a .22? thanks for the help.
Yes, actually. Had the ground squirrels not dug up his front yard, damaged his birdfeeder and chewed through the hose on his propane tank the varmints would have been left alone; as they had been until the damage occured.
Hey Whiteknight,
Chill out. I wasn't saying it was ok to wound a squirrel, even if it is a pest and causing property damage. I was merely stating a fact about this particular pellet rifle. My Father isn't all that happy about them moving to new holes anyway cause they continue to dig up...
That's funny my dad was just telling me about a squirrel and his bird feeder. Apparently it chewed through the string it was hanging by, then went down and cleaned up. He shot his with a 20 dollar chineese pellet rifle. He says body shots will kill, but not quick, they make it back to there...
