For squirrels and rabbits, a Remington 541-S with a Leupold 3-9 EFR and Remington Subsonic HP’s. I don't hunt smallgame a lot but when I do it's either/or my S&W mod 19 32 long with cast bullets or my Mossberg 783 22 mag, Mosberg is very accurate but I don't like the tube feed. Now and then just going walk about I'll take along my S&W 38/44 with cast bullet's, just for a change I guess. If I was serious though it would be the Mossberg and the Mod 19 Smith!

Love that mod 60. Just don't have one anymore! The gun which has probably accounted for the most small game for me is a Ruger Mark 2 target pistol. Next is probably a Weatherby .22 semi auto. Next would probably be an old single shot which a brother bought for me at estate se for $10 when I was about 5 Now that makes me think. Bet my High Standard HD Military would spoil me. Boy is that thing accurate. Only problem is finding a holster that fit's it!

A S&W M19 in .32 Long?

Tikka T1x in 22LR. Nothing fancy, but shoots everything I put in it to reasonable accuracy. Lightweight too.

My Valmet BBF in 12ga/222Rem is perfect for small game. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/wK27ZW0.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/b2AoH1L.jpg)

I've gotten to favoring this Weihrauch HW100S. 22 PCP rifle. Very accurate with JSB 18 grainers and quiet death to squirrels. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/41FX6qJ.jpg)

Don I think you need the ‘9’ in Model 19 turned upside down to read Model 16. Rick

I prefer a .22 rimfire, Marlin Model 39A or Rossi 62SA are my typical choices but I’ve a Remington Model 33 single-shot that I also frequently use. Great guns all, but the Marlin is my favorite.
I have an M8-4x Leupold on top.

P.S. I saved the picture don't make me post it!!! Well, small is a relative thing, no? Yes, I whacked that big ol' boar with the 20 Ga. OTOH, I also whacked a gopher awhile back with it. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/waYQG15.jpg) And I whacked a few hogs with the .22. It's all very damn confusing, this "small" thing, no? ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/ah8rkFz.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/9OlEa70.jpg)
