Slaying ground squirrels with a Bergara BXR steel semi-auto .22LR rifle. It shot very well and I was able to reach out with the overkill of an optic, a Zeiss 5-30x50mm. It was nice and quiet with the @ABSuppressor Little Bird silencer. Check out our giveaway with AB Suppressor on the post previous to this one on Instagram.

@Everyone This past week, we took Max from @ABSuppressor on an epic 2-Day ground squirrel shoot in Nevada! We got to chatting and came up with a great giveaway for one of their Little Bird Rimfire suppressors and a bunch of Varminter swag! The Little Bird has become my favorite .17 & .22 rimfire can. It`s very lightweight and quiet! Now, to the rules:
1) The person who guesses the closest to the total number of ground squirrels taken in TWO DAYS of shooting, without going over, wins (1st guess wins in case of duplicate guesses).
2) Each person gets #3 separate guesses.
3) Each guess must include two different friends tagged in each guess / post.
4) You must be following @VarminterMagazine and @ABSuppressor .
5) You must be age 21 or over & able to own a suppressor / silencer.
6) You must be a United States citizen that lives in a State that allows ownership of suppressors / silencers.
7) The suppressor will be shipped to a FFL who has an SOT and can receive / transfer silencers.
8) The Little Bird suppressor will ship after the winner is announced and when it is IN STOCK.
9) Varminter Magazine will send the fee for the NFA Stamp to the winner, along with the swag.
10) This is an Instagram only giveaway.

For those looking for 30 grain projectiles in the "0.172 caliber, reach out to Blackhole Bullets. We`ve been very impressed with their performance on coyotes, rockchuck and other varmints. I received these 300 projectiles about three weeks after ordering. BH is a one man shop, so be patient.

I am extremely happy with my new Howa Mini-Action chambered in .22 ARC. The Hornady 75 grain factory ammo shoots very well and hammers ground squirrels. Not quite varmint bullet blow-ups, but the 75s open them up!

The @Uintah_Precision .224 Valkyrie performed very well today at the range. Factory Hornady 60 grain VMax ammunition was giving me a 3355 fps average. Imagine the velocities with handloads! Ground squirrels beware!

The Dire Wolf used to roam freely in the area which is now Los Angeles. I am all for the scientist creating a healthy wild population and releasing them in the Wilshire District near Rancho La Brea at the Tar Pits... #BringBacktheLosAngelesDireWolves

A pile of empties and a high kill percentage with the CZ 457 At-One rimfire in .17HMR! It`s hard to beat this combo for high volume ground squirrel shooting.

Yes, we have been using the new @mylabradar LabRadar LX. Yes, I like it. More to come!

The .219 Zipper performed very well last week. It`s time to develop some loads and get to testing. #219Zipper #groundsquirrelhunting
Despite the wind, the Ruger Super Redhawk in .22 Hornet performed well. We gathered some good video that includes some good hits!

Popped a few ground squirrels today with the .219 Zipper. More shooting tomorrow. It`s kind of cool knowing I`m shooting a rifle with real history that is chambered in a classic cartridge.

First time hunting with the @CVAOfficial Cascade Varmint Hunter in .204 Ruger. It has a 20" barrel with a 1:10" twist. The barrel is threaded 5/8x24" and is Smoke Bronze with a Real Tree Hillside Rifle w/Soft Touch Stock. (CR4043) I topped the rifle with a Zeiss Optics 6-24x scope. Otter Creek Pulonium-K suppressor. I shot a bunch of Belding`s ground squirrels using handloaded 32 grain HPs. As you can see, it blew them up!

CZ Model 457 Pro Varmint in .22LR. This rifle is topped with the @Mueller_Optics 8-32x44mm Tactical rifle scope. I`ve already picked-up two other barrels that can be swapped out. One in .22 Magnum and the other in .17HM2 (Mach2). Accuracy is proving to be very good with hunting ammo.
@czusafirearms @czguns @renorifleco #rimfire #22LR #varminthunting #groundsquirrelhunting
This Browning T-Bolt Maple is a fine example of the beauty that can be achieved in a modern firearm. This one is chambered in .17HMR and is very accurate. Browning released a number of maple stock firearms. I wish I had picked-up a lever-action and semi-auto as well.
@BrowningFirearms @BurrisOptics @federalpremium #17HMR #varminthunting #groundsquirrelhunting #rockchuckhunting
The correct answer is a @RugersOfficial Super Redhawk in .22 Hornet! I know I only said one winner, but 4 people got it correct. If you are a winner, send me your name and address via private message. This was an Instagram only giveaway.

Circa 1904 B.S.A. Martini Cadet rebarreled and chambered by P.O. Ackley in .219 Zipper (not improved). It is topped by a Burris Fullfield 4-18 scope. Based on the Burris Fullfield scope release, I`m guessing the barrel / stock work was done in the late 1970s. I function tested the rifle using some Reed loaded ammunition with 40 and 50 grain VMax projectiles. It shot well and I`m pleased. A couple of other projects are wrapping up, so I`ll be able to really get this combo out into the field for testing, soon.

The answer to the question I posed on Sunday is... a Remington Model 700 Classic in .221 Fireball. I picked this one up locally here in the Boise area. It goes to show that you never know what`s floating around in people`s collections! There are winners here on IG and on our Facebook page. I`ll reach out to those who got the answer correct. #221Fireball

Who`s shooting a 5.7? This is the @palmetto_state_armory Rock Pistol, topped with one of the @AthlonOptics red dots, with a @Griffin_Armament Checkmate HD suppressor. Perfect setup for finishing coyotes and stopping the occasional rogue ground squirrel!

Varmints are starting to pop up. Ground squirrels on farm fields are fair game on day one! Take your kids out hunting. It is a great way to get them involved. @@CacheCarlson setup his son`s CZ Scout with a suppressor and bipod, for quiet hunting. You can here the "pop" of the bullet hitting the squirrel!

Imagine what the original owner of this rifle felt like when they picked-up it up in 1934. This Winchester Model 62 pump action rifle in S/L/LR is a great specimen of the firearms being produced at the time. Yes, it functions. Yes, I will be varmint hunting with it next week. @winchesterrepeatingarms

Anyone seeing these? CCI says they are their AR Tactical rounds with no copper plating. Cheap @ 6 per. @cciammunition

Testing out some @SonusModerators on the @RapidAirWorx_Official HM1000 Mini airgun in .25 caliber. Compact and now QUIET, topped with a @DNT_Optics Zulus optic for recording day hunts! Pests beware! Thanks to @IdahoAirgun for letting us try the moderators.
