Like your dog Greenmtnboy, great cattle dogs the blue heeler. Nice squirrel rifles one and all. My smallest is a .45, but I guess it could do the job pretty well with good shooting; no squirrels though, just rabbits and hares are available here!
 
These are poor pictures but serve to show the fine accuracy of "squirrel" rifles. Top is my two favorites, the .32 Crockett and the TVM SMR .36. Targets are: .36 TVM, .32 Crockett and a 25 yard target with my .40 and it's squirrel load. All three have fired better groups; I'm just not always up to the task.

One of these days I'll figure out how to post pics.I just got my Crockett traditions today and have been busy makin all new accoutrements for it's care and feeding and really was proud of how they all came out.Just have to get to the nearest trading post that carries the right ball for her,then off to the range.

Good shootin' Hanshi! I love to look at other guys targets. Nice rifles too. :thumbsup:


I like to see the targets that have been shot by others, too. It gives me confidence in the rifles and the loads.

:rotf: You ought to see my USUAL shooting; you'd stop watching sitcoms after that.

This is my .32 Pedersoli Deluxe Cub Rifle . I put this together from a kit when Dixie gun works had a sale a couple of years ago.

With either 15 or 20 grains of FFFg goex and a .311 round ball it shoots better than I can . I have it sighted at 25 yards and it shoots an inch or less for 5 shots, I firmly believe if my eyes were 20 years younger I'm sure it would even better.....................watch yer top knot.......................
 
I had a Cub .50 for over ten years during which I killed a large number of deer. It was originally flint but the lock sucked and I converted it to percussion. The Cub is a good looking, delightful rifle in cap form and very accurate. I eventually sold mine to finance a flint smoothie.

Took my new crockett rifle out to the range the other day,What a blast,Off the bunch I put 4 shots in a group about the size of a quarter at 25 yds.a little high to the right,Now to zero her in.It's quite a leaning curve goin from a brown bess punkin chucker to a peashooter.Cleaning was tricky,but I don't have a jag for it yet.
