Squirrel Rifle

[vthompson]

I take it that a .32cal. is the right size to take a few squirrels with after reading some of these post's. Where is a good place to buy such a rifle at?
Is there a website that someone can point me to? Your help would be appreciated. Thank's.

There are several options, if you want inexpensive and quick, a lot of people seem to like these:

Personally I think some other options are better, including:

Smoothbores are also an excellent choice, and there are LOTS of options available there. If you can find a used T/C New Englander with the 12-gauge barrel for $200 or less on one of the auction sites, that would be your best value (file that last comment under "Spot's Opinion").

Good luck, whatever you decide.

I thought everybody on this forum hated traditions guns.

"Hate" is a strong word.

I'd rather see someone shooting a Traditions with a round ball and blackpowder than an original longrifle with 777 and a conical. ;-)

Where is a good place to buy such a rifle at?

How good? Go to www.trackofthewolf.com for sales of used custom rifles (right now they have an original .30 caliber for $679.00!). Or you can go to the links here at this site for custom builders.

nothing says it has to be a .32. There are a lot of good rifles out there that would make a good squirrel rifle. I've shot them wih my .32 and my .36 and also my .45 and all the head shots looked about the same. You might find it easier to find a good .45 than some of the smaller calibers. Either way good luck hunting the right rifle and good luck using it. Glenn
