Dinny got me some Hard to find CCI .22 Cal. Subsonic 1050 Hollow Points I was looking for.

On the Ruger 10/22 with the Suppressor in a semi Rural, end of a Country Development, they work pretty well.

The Ruger 77/22, in 22LR, that I recently put a Green Mountain barrel in 17 Mach 2 on, is quickly becoming my favorite small game rifle.

Sorry, I put this in the wrong area!

So let me correct it with a .22 Cal Rifle, probably a Winchester Bolt action Single Shot!

Lately a Winchester 1873 (made in 1889) shooting 95 grain cast bullets around 900 fps. I find myself smiling more when I’m hunting with and shooting this rifle than with any other.

The Stevens 44 1/2 in .22LR that I inherited from my great-grandfather who bought it new. With CCI Subsonic HPs it drives tacks at 50 yards. I've scoped it with a modern Leupold, but I have the original JC Stevens 6x external adjustment scope he purchased with it that I use for "retro" hunts once in a while.

Have used everything from .22 short to .44 mag; but my most used since it came out has been a Ruger Mark 2. I have 2 virtually identical mk 2 targets with the 5.5" bull barrels and volquartsen competition internals, triggers, and some other parts. One currently wears a 2.5x8 leupold and the other a holosun green dot. For most of the years I've had them, they wore iron sights only; but... my eyes ain't what they used to be.

My Remington model 25 pump in 25-20 WCF will be my favorite when I can get it's failure to feed from the magazine issue figured out and fixed.

Flint or percussion? Years back I bought a Dixie 32 Tenn. squirrel rifle flinter. Fancied it up a bit patch box entry pipe. Bobby Hoyt freshed the barrel. I take it to the woods for just about anything small game wise. usually come home with something for the pot.

There are no problems that cannot be resolved by the suitable application of high explosive.

5 1/2" Buckmark.
It now wears a RMR to allow me to continue hunting with it since the front sight has turned into a wad of fuzz.

Muzzle loading or BPSS shotgun is also a fave all though I haven't done it in years.

I was looking back over this thread and happened to notice this question; one thing that can make them taste bad is the glands in the armpits. They look like pinkish fatty tissue and they need cut out before cooking as they will make for a "gamey" flavor. How to cook can depend on how old they are. Younger tender squirrels can be fried, Ive had no luck trying to fry older ones and boil those until the meat is falling off the bones, then drain well, brown and add to gravy.
Middle of August now so squirrel season is a month out.

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
