Tight choked 20ga with 6's would be my choice........ At least of the guns I own.
But, my perfect squirrel gun my 50yr old newfangled Remington 1100 .410 with full choke.... Shoot em in the head, and don't waste any of that good rib meat.

I think this is being over-thought. You can kill a squirrel with anything, but I'd be partial to my F/F 26" Trojan in 16g and #5's.
ALL I CAN SAY IS TOO BAD PARKER BROS. NEVER MADE A DRILLING : )

Garry, the only solution to this is to take ALL of your Parkers squirrel hunting and by careful note taking report back your findings. This may be a long and arduous task but the results will be worth it to the group.

Why has nobody suggested a scoped .22 ?
Oh wait, I see... it is a "Which Parker" thread. .

1 1/8oz loads to 2 1/4oz loads. Any shotgun load really will anchor them I say use whatever gun you enjoy carrying the most. If you don't like the heavy guns it's hard to go wrong with a 16 or 28 gauge for your small game hunting. |
