OMG Dean....killing cute little chipmonks. When I was a kid, I used to bowhunt them with rubber blunt tips. No matter where you hit them, they would die from shock. I pulled off the tails and saved them in a envelope, like I did to keep track of the number of grouse I shot each year. I would pull one tail feather from each bird and put it in an envelope with the year marked on it. I stopped shooting the poor little chipmonks years ago. Now I feed them birdseed. I like to see them in the yard. Fill their little bellies with birdseed and they will probably not touch the roots. It's a better solution Dean

I don’t generally bend to the whims of chipmunks Tom.

I have property to defend. My brick walkway is already beginning to sink in places.

Their stripes are cute but in this situation I view them as vermin... just like rats and mice.

Maybe you could get Briley's to choke-tube it.

I had actually toyed with that idea. I would need them to ream the bore to remove any remaining rifling and then have them make two choke tubes (fittings) - one light mod and the other extra full... depending if I'm after squirrels of chipmunks.

To preserve some some collector value, I would suggest investigating having the bore relined.
A place in Kansas called the 90-06 Armory used to do this and I have has a couple pump Winchesters worked on by them. The work was done with absolutely no outward appearance of a sleeve, as it was done from the breach end, but not thru the muzzle end.
A quick google search shows a business by that name, but seems to be an AR type weapons manufacturer. Perhaps a call to them might get you closer to the center of the target (over and over)
