I haven't been squirrel hunting in years but I'm thinking about picking it back up. I'm thinking I'll get a bolt action, magazine fed .22 with an undetermined scope. What do you use?

and back anyways....Don't use a shotgun much anymore...

I got my set up put together today....Ruger 10/22 topped with a Nikon 4x32 rimfire scope. I also picked up a 50 round magazine. Should be pretty deadly on the squirrels.

I recently started using a Savage bolt action 93r in .17hmr....hate my trigger still, but I tell ya, that gun will smack them treerats right out of the tree and stone cold dead at 100 plus yards.......early season, if the trees are full of leaves, I kinda like the ole .410 with number 4 shot....al
