Tree Squirrel Rifles

[Jon Bischof]

Everybody on this forum is extremely good at shooting from a rest. But walking through the woods using only a tree for a rest requires real riflemanship! Extreme short range hunting is a challenge.

First Bergara BMR critters. 6 squirrels, 3 trash pandas and a crow. Winchester Subsonic Max 42 bullet from another fox squirrel.

I've using trees, rocks, branches, or anything can stabilizes my rifle from my late 20's. Standing and shooting is a fools game. I realize sometime it can't be helped. You can sit, or kneel and shoot if you know how too. From a blind I use a 3 legged shooting stick. If you hurry your shots, you will more than likely miss, and especially if there some yardages involved in the shot. I have learned better over the years. It's a lot of work to track a wounded animal. So don't take the shot.

To Bakpakr, very nice Winchester Lever.

Of all the rimfires I own. The 39a is the best fitting. It's a work of art imo. It's like it just can't miss.

I carry a Blackhawk axiom 10-22 tac sol sbx mouse fart daily around the house and property. I use it like a leatherman tool.

In the beginning for me, it was the old speed master. It would probably take 3 refer trucks to haul the game that old speed master has taken. I'm sorry. I don't have pics of my squirrel adventures to share.

My hunting friend and I use TC Cherokee in ,32 cal black powder muzzleloaders for squirrels. Our spring season just opened this week.
And yes I do use a walking stick with a notch in the end of it to stabilize my shots.

I use a Ruger 10/22 in a Magpul X22 stock with a Leupold 2-7x33 scope, works nicely but then again so does a 12 gauge.

In the process of building another squirrel rig, same Magpul stock but mostly power custom internals (the one pictured has mostly Volquartsen internals). That rifle has also taken a couple porcupines but not before they quilled my dog…..twice
