    I like the 511 scoremaster they made. My dad has one of them and it's super accurate.

    My Rem. 341-P Sportmaster is as close to custom as I have anymore. Trigger, bedding, re-finished stock, and I threaded the muzzle and made a modified LeVang style compensator for it. It wears a fixed 5X.
    I checked it a few weeks ago, just to make sure the scope was still on. 5 shots of Aguilla SSS at 80' or so equaled 5 reed stems cut in half. Luckily I can shoot off my back deck towards the creek.

    Strange as it might sound, we don’t have those here in New England. Only gray squirrels, and occasionally you see an all black one (just a gray squirrel with a genetic mutation)

    I use a CZ 457 .22 sighted in for head shots with Aquila Super Colibri within 20 yards for garden marauding grays. It has been a nice accurate rifle, and more quiet and deadly than my Sheridan pump air rifle.

    Luckily I bought numerous bricks of this ammo years ago. I haven’t seen it for sale anywhere lately.

    We also see a few small red/pine squirrels, and a few white or black phase grays from time to time.

    I have a bunch of guns. But my Ruger 10/22 is actually probably one of my favorite guns!

    I have a Ruger American 17 hmr. It's amazing how much damage that skinny a$$ round will do.
