Cannot choose, for example, for what use? Hunting deer? (that'd be my Razors Edge Compound) But since you added 22 I assume not deer. Then there is the crossbow. Or the 12 gauge I shot my first deer with. My son's 20 gauge is nice......or the 44 mag that we are trading for with my sons 410.
Guns I don't care for: Remington 20 ga 870 (kicks like a freaking mule and that's saying something after shooting the 12 ga) The 22 I use with caution because of possible bullet travel.
But if it's a nice day with little wind ya betchya I'm taking my compound, quiet and relatively short distance the arrow goes (versus bullets).
Okay so I'm not a common man either haha.
Edit:saw the tree rat at the top this time.....maybe I should buy bifocals lol. Only gun I won't use for squirrels is the 410, had one last year jump up after it fell from tree with blood where it fell, never did find that tree rat. Mood killer to be sure.

I was replying to this from my phone app and didn't realize it wasn't in the deer hunting forum so I deleted my response since it was about deer hunting. Sorry about that.

I have an older Kimber .22 (model 82) with one of the old redfield scopes on it, that's what i've used for years and it will be my choice again this year. Good hunting to all !

Now thats a tough question.I enjoy using both shotguns and rifles for my squirrel hunting but am more of a rimfire rifle hunter.Its a hard choice to make for me between a CZ Ultra-Lux in .22L.R. or a CZ 452 Varmint in .17 mach 2.All things considered(at least for me)I voted for the .17 mach 2.Everybody be safe out there and good luck with your season.

Of them guns I have I prefer to take a 10/22. Occasionally I'll take out the 870 12ga to burn up old waterfowl loads. Lol, really hard to miss with that combo.

Grew up using an old "Atlas" 28 gauge shotgun of my dads; not the easiest to find shells for but its the lightest little o/u i've ever handled. Plus it doesn't do too much damage to them.

If I am going out by myself or with a friend I will bring my marlin model 60 .22lr. Sometimes a buddy and I will take his girlfriend's 2 sons out, He takes one kid and I take the other, then I will bring my charles daly semi 20gauge to shoot follow up.

Great minds and all that; I bring the 870 when taking Johnny out. |

I love to get the old .410 out to chase some tree rats. I will also be carrying my S&W .380 to try out if one decides to get a little too close.

I am cleaning up an old Stevens model 940E 20 gauge that my grandma gave me. I may take it to the woods this weekend to see if I can drop a squirrel or two.
