HS,
I have hunted squirrels with a 22LR, 22Mag, 22 Hornet,
222 Rem, and a 357 Magnum rifle. I owned a .25-20 for
a little while but never had a chance to use it. Would
be a pleasure to hit the squirrels woods with you sir!

The .25-20 will tear a pretty good sized hole in a squirrel. I try to shoot them in the head, but sometimes when they run, I don't lead them enough and they go a bit too far back. That's one reason you see tails, cause the carcasses were a bit too mangled for pictures!

Don't let anyone tell you that you can't easily plug a 100 lb. whitetail with a .25-20, though. Center them in the lungs at 50 yards and its enough bullet and enough gun.

My Remington Model 12, built in about 1916.

Backup -- Ruger Mark II with a target barrel, circa 1990.

I don't have any pics but the two in my arsenal that get a workout are a Remington Model 591 in the 5mm Rem. Mag. The second is a Savage in the camo stock and scope in .17Hornady. The Remington is a little more my favorite since I bought it many years ago and used it to hunt squirrels back in the ealry years. With the re-introduction of the ammo, it is back in the woods again.

Awesome! I've never shot a 5mm, but would love to. If you have a digital camera, take some pics and I would be happy to post them for you, or anyone else. Just PM me and I can help.

I used to use a 541-T till the barrel came loose. Switched to a Kimber Hunter last year and absolutely love it. Killed somewhere over 100 squirrels with it. I also use a CZ452 in 17 Mach 2 when the leaves drop and distance is extended. Many good rifles out there. A friend of mine has a Savage that is pretty hard to not like for a lot less money.

I have a 5mm also but don't use it for squirrels, just woodchucks and such. For squirrels I use a Marlin 39A with a 3x9 Bushnell on it. I love that gun!!

When I hunted them, it was my Kodiak 22 mag. I'm either too old, or disinterested.

Superseal110 wake up! Those aren't really john's guns man - he took those pics from around here on this site. All john owns is a mossberg .22 (and he lost the clip at that) and some ol NEF break action in 410.
