I like the SV ammo, so too do my rifles.

i hunt squirrels a good bit with 22LR, .17mach2, and increasingly with .22mags since hogs have moved into our favorite squirrel areas. Have a bunch of assorted squirrel guns, i like some variety now & then.
most wear midsize glass, 2.5-8's, 3-9's, an occasional 4-12....some of those that get packed around in winter when shots are longer have 4.5-14's, 6-18's, etc. i like bolt guns mostly, but do have a few autoloaders.

assorted kill pix...will see if i still have a bunch more that was on photobucket when it tanked.

anschutz 22LR, from here in the classifieds...2x7 on top, which was later switched to a 3x9EFR

CZ used to make a satin nickel finished rifle called a 452style, which they dropped...those have done pretty well for me & i pack them around fairly often:

bargain gun....Marlin tube fed 22LR; found it at a gunshow with safety lever broke...as i recall, fellow said since it didnt work right he'd take a hundred bucks for it. 2x7 Nikon on top.
cost about about $10 to order that new safety lever.

I am a believer in the Tikka T-1X, for an out of the box plug and play squirrel rifle I don't know what would be better in its price range.

Three 10-shot groups shot a 50 yards with my Tikka T-1X 22 LR, ammo used was CCI Std Vel. Rifle is unmodified except for adjusting trigger to 1-1/2 lb pull.

The targets were shot using wind flags, the left and center targets were shot during a light left running wind of about 2 to 4 mph, the right-hand group was shot during a calm.

The large dark lines are one-inch apart and lighter colored lines are 1/4" apart.
All three groups measure right at 1/2" inch center to center - it would have been nice if I had not dropped one a bit low on the left-hand target but I am still happy with the results.

223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers.

Huge fan of Tikka rifles. However the looks of that T1x is a major turn off to me for some reason. But with those groups you posted there is no argument on its cpabilities.

Actually this is the second T-1 I have owned, I sold the first one because I didn't like the looks of them either but a few months later I was in the store and they were on sale so I bought another one. I am still not fond of the looks but I am learning to love the way it shoots - the only rimfire I have that will outshoot it is my Cooper 57M in 22 LR.

Cooper does slip out some nice looking rifles too...like you said, get some of everything, that way you make sure your bases are covered. Too many is just right.

Those are some of the older Bausch & Lomb and Bushnell Elites...have used a fair number of those on assorted rimfires ...they can focus up close like the Leupold EFR's, & were made in several models.
