Ruger 10/22 vs Ground Squirrel
Posted: Mon Jul 03, 2023 2:58 am
It was .22lr day at the ranch.
Sighted in my Charger Pistol with the new BX-Trigger.
Three rounds on a tiny pink dot. Unfortunately, I didn’t wait for the steel to completely stop swinging after shots. Impatient.
Then, I sighted in one of my 10/22s with a new Magpul Hunter stock I got from SS3.
Middle group is three rounds of 40gr SVRN. Left group is three with the 40gr CCI-Frag. Didn’t like them as much. But, the RN will work on small edibles and the Frag will work for larger predators.
Then, it was time to go get dinner. Ground squirrels are used to me feeding the deer every evening and they come running out as I drive by in the Kubota. They make their dens under the road and the erosion destroys the asphalt. I periodically make a meal of them.
So, to test the rifle, I fed then circled back.
Waited for one to grab a piece of corn and sit up. Placed the round through the head at a tad over 25yrds.
Took it to the barn for Manly “Meal Prep”. Not the crap Gucci dudes have someone else make for them.
A well fed squirrel with a layer of fat.
Heat, liver, and kidneys to boot!
Going in the griddle tomorrow.
