What rifle do you squirrel hunt with?

[HoploDad]

I was thinking..I wish I could find a good quiet pellet pistol to take with me deer hunting. That way if I get annoyed or bored, I could pick a few off without making too much noise. Does that even exist?

Beeman P17? Good plinker, great value. Might not be quiet enough for the tree stand though. It's $40 so the risk is low compared to most pricier accurate pellet pistols.

Racine, Wisconsin made Sheridan Blue Streak w/2.5X scope.

Browning T-bolt sporter with Nikon fixed 4x-32 rimfire scope, Federal bulk package .22LR hollow points. Super accurate package, will outshoot my 10-22. With a little lead, can drop 'em on the run with one shot.

I wouldn't use the P17 for squirrel hutning, it's just a bit underpowered for that, I'd think.

Maybe a Crosman 1377 would serve better?

henry h001 .22 loaded up with CB shorts. I got it for dispatching coons in the chickenhouse without bothering the neighbors, but the little cb's are pretty decent on our squirrels too. I like em for the safety reasons as well, doesn't take much to stop a cb from wailing across the sky to points unknown and I DO NOT want to be that guy on the news!

I like the aquila primer only shells and the SSS as well, they do the job just as well as long as you're close.

That little henry is a dandy, I daresay I like it more than my 10/22 just because I can feed shorts and other low power ammo through it.

Today, this. Savage weather warrior .308. Bushnell elite 5x15x50. Got sick of looking at the same crab-claw 60lb 4 pointer running off far better dear, and when this corn-thief showed, I had my opportunity to stop the a little bit of the corn free-for-all and run-off an ugly little buck in the process.

Maybe a tad much for squirrel, that .308.

Hi folks, this is my first post and looking forward to more.....
Early season with leaves (sept-oct) i use my mossberg 183d .410 with 3" #6's
i reload them, much cheaper but then i also carry my contender with .22 match barrel. Then later season i use my Norinco JW-15 with simmons 3-9x40 scope a real tack driver and then i carry my contender with 45/410 barrel. occasionally i come home with squirrels shot with both weapons, either way just a great day.
i really enjoy squirrel hunting.
