Your dream squirrel rifle?

[SDMF]

Oh, I don’t know about the BL22 being the best .22 lever gun.

Never said it was "The Best", said it was my favorite primarily due to that very short stroke.

I have a Gamo Viper 10X GEN3i in .177 caliber that will take care of a lot of critters. I've shot many gophers and rabbits with it.

Working near Hillsboro today, out in the country .
Home owner said her yard is infested by the Little Red Demons.
My old clunky Marlin 81 has been good today. 5 shots/ kills.

I agree with the Marlin micro-groove rifling for rim-fire.
I've got a Marlin 783 WMR that will surprise you just how accurate it is---unbelievable!

I’m not sure what it is, but I always thought the old 783 was an exceptionally handsome rifle. I’m still on the lookout for a nice one to add to my collection.

My Marlin 721 bolt will easily group in a .30cal hole @50 if it get's a lot# it likes. If I get a group any bigger than a dime, I immediately know it's the ammo or me. Best 150 I've ever spent in 1997.

It's been 20+yrs. What's your opinion about pulling some patches/a nylon brush? (Micro-grove)

Replying to YOU as I "know" your background. I'm "worried" the. 22 "crisis" has flooded the market with shit. "Miss Lady" can hit a quarter @50 no matter "what the hell".

That is all.

100% easily my favorite lever action 22! Nothing else lever action is even close IMO, that short-stroke is MAGIC!!

My BL22 isn't nearly as smooth as my 9422's or 39A's. Also, as a plus size individual, I find the BL22 a little small to comfortably handle. Cool design tho.

You must have gotten the only BL-22 that isnt smoother than a 9422 or 39A. I remember my kids shooting my BL-22 as young as 7 or 8 yrs old and had no problem cycling it. At that age they would have never been able to cycle the other two.

IDK, maybe it's due for another cleaning but I'm just not overly impressed with it.

Even with the cheap scope it's headshots. It's been all nuisance, but in a month it might be time for some squirrel and dumplings.
