I guess one's method for hunting squirrels will dictate one's choice in scopes. My method is to sit in a known "squirrel hollow" and wait them out, taking shots at whatever distances they are presented. To that end, a heavy target rifle with a high magnification target scope is dandy. If I move about it is merely to move to another hollow and then sit again. Were I a fellow who still hunted all day on my feet, I would opt for a lighter rig with a lower magnification scope better suited to taking jittery/moving targets.
