4x Bushnell Sportview on a Remington 572. It "is Dad's rifle that he let me bring home since he was having safe leakage (not enough room). I keep it gainfully employed on the plinker range and in the squirrel woods. My other rifle is a Winchester 67 with factory iron sights that shoots extremely well.

2-7X Leupold RF on my 77/22. VX II 6-18X AO on my Cooper Custom Classic but its used more for ground squirrels and the extra magnification is more useful there.
A golf course is a sad misuse of a perfectly good rifle range.

Wow, this post is still going! It's been awhile. Since then I've spent a little $$$$$ on my little .22lr. To recap: I've got a left-handed CZ 452 American in .22lr. I've upgraded the stock to a laminated tigger-wood stock from Richard's Microfit and installed a Leupold 3-9x33mmEFR scope. Had the barrel full length bedded and the trigger smoothed up by my gunsmith.
I use to shoot Wolfe TG ammo for practice and want to use Win Power Points for hunting. Then P-P fell of the face the planet and Wolf TG got too expensive plus it burned dirty. I've since switch to CCI mini-mags.

as a lefty, I pretty much had to go with the ANchutz 1416D as my .22. I've had it for about 9 years now and it's alwyas had a Leupold Vari_x II 2x7x33 on it. Probably has 12,000 rounds through it now and I haven't had any inkling to change...

BTW, I had my gunsmith weigh my "little" .22lr yesterday and comes in at 7 3/4 lbs. A little heavy for a rimfire. Since its been full length bedded it shoots the CCI mini mages well. Before that it was so-so with that ammo. Just wish CCI would sell them in bricks of 500 instead of plastic boxes of 100.

Just sent the Aetec back to have the focus fixed and ordered a 3-9 AO 22mag Simmons. Already have a 3-9 non AO, but will likely put that on my moms cricket she uses for garden and bird feeder pest scaring.

My squirrel rifle started life as a .22lr, now its a .17 hm2 (Ruger 10/22) It used to wear a Leupold 4.5x14 vx3 but I was considering putting a Leupold 3.5x10 on it.....maybe, maybe not....I"m still debating that one.

Anyone feel like posting pictures of their rigs? Don't got no cable for my cell cam. I do however have a nice scope on my 243 bullbarrel. It's a simmons 6-24 50mm w/AO. On my 243 it's very sturdy. I run 55gr noslers @3950. Does one heck of a job on tree rats and jacks. Dave

Newest squirrel busting rig is a Kimber Hunter 22 topped by a Leupold VXI 2-7x33mm which is set parallax free at 50 yards. Seems about ideal to me for a small game bolt action setup. I placed pictures in my thread in the rimfire section, so I won't be redundant with them here.

Here is a link to my sage rat 22 Long rifle.. it is a CZ 452 and I changed the scope recently to surplus Tasco Target Scope in 8 x 32... this is not a tree squirrel set up.. it is for shooting sage rats from a fixed position out to about 125 yds or so... http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictures.html?id=2092990525 one of the local boy scouts is shooting it for his merit badge... here is one of my 'grandpa' shooting it... http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictures.html?id=2093597124

My buddy's (who is deployed) 12 year old with my (er uh...Dave in WV's) Remington 572 and Bushnell Sportview 4x32. Rifle is circa 1981 I believe and is a killer of steel targets and fat gray squirrels. ![[Linked Image]](http://http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c134/Ruger280/100_3750.jpg) [img]http://IMG] http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c134/Ruger280/100_3750.jpg[/img][/img]
