Tikka T1X. These are great rifles out of the box.
I also built a hollow pointing die, makes some cheap round nose bullets into great squirrel ammo. Just pulled my Remington out while at the range and shot it at a couple old targets at 100yds.
Remington 581 with 3.5-10. This was my wife's uncles rifle and he had broken the stock. I built a scope mount for his Marlin 39 to put a 1" scope on and he gave this barreled action to me. I tightened the headspace, shortened and re-crowned the barrel, pillared and bedded. I also reworked the trigger, right at about 24oz. Cheapest squirrel rifle I have and its my favorite. He is in a care center now and he loves seeing pictures of this rifle and the squirrels it gets as well as talking about the modifications to it. He is an incredible man.

It's a Remington 541-S. These were built on the 540X action, have a match chamber, but were built in the same style as the contemporary 700 BDL.
