The last few times I squirrel hunted with a .22, it was with a close friend who had a great little fice squirrel dog, who would tree them and raise a furor until we arrived. He used a Ruger 77/22 and I used a Smith and Wesson K22 w/ 6" barrel. It's got wonderful square notch rear and square blade front sights, and is highly accurate at treetop distances. After that I became fond of using a .36 cal. Appalachian style longrifle with 25 grs. FFFG, head shots only. I need to start back. I'm overrun with the tree rats around here.
