another copy paste from FGs sight . to lazy to type up something different :lol:

hey guys thought i would post up some pics of a pair fo squirrel guns customized in over the winter and spring . first is a mossberg 802 varmint plinkster 21 inch bull barrel . mods are as follows -Bedded action ,reshaped and camo'd wood stock stock , fixed sling swivels with 1 1/4 inch m16 cotton web sling . trigger polished and tuned nice wiith no slack or over travel . breaks like glass . weaver quad lock low rings and center point AR22 3-9x32 red green IR .great scope for $60 , very bright and clear optics . also custom large bolt knob and flush fit 4 round magazine.

gun shoots clover leafs at a lasered 40 yards off an improvised rest . if i do my part i can shoot staples off the backer board resting up against a tree .

next is a 1950s stevens 16 gauge model 94 . also have mid 70s version in 20 gauge that i fixed up . this one was beat up so i just camo'd it .i love the way these stevens shoulder and carry . great guns .

i normally were full camo except for an orage cap . a turky hunting vest is great , has places for all my gear and a game pouch in the back . i have 2 diffrent ones . grab the vest a gun and abox of ammo and i'm all set .

any one here like to hunt squirrels ? i used to go 4 times a week until i moved . its my favorite animal to hunt . and the taste great too .

squirells

Grew up huntin them things in Okla. I loved it, Good eatin also. Used an old single shot marlin that was my Dads. The gun is well over 70 years old and one my favorite keepsakes. Have not hunted squirells for over 20 years now since I moved to Western NE. Shoot a lot of sun dogs, probably not gonna eat one of them. No one up hear hunts squirells and cleaning them is a whole lot easier with two people. Glad to hear someone is still doin it. Nice rigs, should do the job just fineWayles

thanks . its not to bad to clean squirrels by ones self . if you skin it the easy way takes all of a coupe minutes to skin and gut one . sometimes i clean them before leaving the woods and put them in a small cooler . depends on if its a hot day or not .
