Are there any accurizing steps I might try with it? I'm not real keen on gut-shooting Fox squirrels around here (if I hit them at all!)!

Keep trying different pellets until you find one it "likes".
I have a Stoeger X10 that won't hit an 8.5 X 11 sheet of paper at 25 yards with some pellets, but will group Crosman's into "minute of squirrel head" at that distance.


One shot, one kill........ It saves a lot of ammo!
