New squirrel rifle

Get a couple more magazines, you will never regret it.

They are incredibly accurate! Clean the barrel every 250 rounds to keep it shooting small groups at 100, I learned this from an Olympic shooter.

Where I live, I really couldn't utilize the extra range of the 17 WSM. Most of the time, you can't see squirrels beyond 65 or 75 yards for a clear shot. So almost all my shots are less than that.

But I bet the folks who hunt rabbits and foxes in New Zealand and the UK would love that rifle. Be good for groundhogs too.

I finally got first blood with my Savage A17 Sporter .17 WSM.

They're off limits where I live. Not to many around, so I don't shoot them. Grey squirrels now that's another story.

Congrats! Your first time is always special and one that is remembered forever! Oh, and congrats on your first squirrel kill with your .17!


I'm envious, squirrel hunting here is near non-existent……and I love squirrel hunting as much or more than big game hunting! memtb

Funny looking squirrel. lol

Don't laugh! I killed quite a few with my old .308 Win using cast bullets……head shots.

I've killed a few Cottontails, and a few grouse up here with the AI….using cast. Though, I've actually killed more grouse with full-house loads. No matter the load…. head-shots are mandatory! memtb

Only headshots, I'm sure... medulla oblongata. Cheers
