Good .22 squirrel rifle?

Rabbits better watch out now. I went and tested some ammo at 25yds. I was very pleased with Remington Eley target, the first two shots were in the same hole and the 10 shot group looked like this. (bipod and rear bag from prone)



With .22lr you really need to shoot a multitude of ammo to find what your gun shoots well, apparently this stuff and Wolf MT are my gun's favorite. I shot some SK target yesterday too. The groupings for that particular round were good, but not as impressive as the above. I could still cover the 10 shot group with a penny though (like the above group).

I even stretched it out to 100yds and was able to shoot a 1.5-.75 group with the Remington Eley target. It would've been better if I wasn't fighting the wind.

The most accurate gun I've ever shot in my life is my 1970's Marlin Model 60. It is minute-of-squirrels eye at 40 yds. It was my dad's back in the day, lived in a gun bag for 20 years rusting, I took it when he died, my druggy brother took it from me and again left it to rust in a bag, I took it back, never cleaned it, and it still shoots the wings off a fly.

It's quite a bit longer than my 10/22, doesn't always function reliably, but damn it shoots.

I told them to watch out. 75-80yd head shot. Eley sub sonic hollow points did work. Got this fella and some of his pals in a brine as I type.
