I like pump guns, simplistic and reliable so I would keep the 870 and sell the others. The only problem would be now you have room and extra cash...means only one thing.

My early season gun is a Winchester 42 with a 28 " full choke barrel. Don't want too much damage... After the leaves fall, I go to the scoped .22 LR. View attachment 1764116 View attachment 1764116

I don’t think parts availability should be a concern of yours- think about how many shells you shoot during squirrel season- all 3 of the guns you mentioned will last a lifetime of hunting. Pick the one that you like to bring into the woods the most. If they’re equal there, bring them all to the pattern board and see which one shoots the best on paper. For me, I always shoot a full or “turkey” choke on squirrels, so I would go with whichever one patterns the tightest.

Buy another safe?

Shotguns for squirrels? Tsk tsk….

Shotguns for squirrels? Tsk tsk….

Yea....I know.....but the public hunting preserves where I am hunting has too many nearby farm houses, livestock, and highways. I just never got comfortable shooting up in the trees with a .22. I am too worried where the bullets might end up.

I use PCP air rifles these days. They do the job well and don’t have a very far range with those skirted pellets.

Good air rifle does the job, or sub sonic 22 at ground level.

I use the same Benelli M2 20ga that I turkey hunt with. It has a Burris FF3 and a .555 Indian creek turkey choke. I only hunt a few times early season because I prefer hunting them with dogs.

I am a big fan of 1100s and 11-87s. My father and I have used them for years and haven't had to replace anything. We just hunt with them so not heavily used. Since remington is going to continue making 870s you could replace the 870 easier. May be hard to find an 1100 for a decent price if they do not continue to manufacture them.

I just use my trap gun with one ounce of 9's.

Another tip, you can find really cheap snow camo at the local resale shops if hunting the bushy tails later in the season.

Yea I would pick up a good .22 Rimfire.

My Umarex Gauntlet.22 pcp air rifle does a great job. Fairly quiet, because the barrel is shrouded and has an internal air stripper and baffle. My Hawke scope is zeroed for 30 yards... perfect for the area I hunt.

There you go again with the dresses - first tutus, then skirts - what's next??

@Tron is keeping ahead of @docbombay, who just came out in a third hand wedding dress goose hunting camo snow outfit.

I would keep the 870. Is it 3 inch?
I squirrel hunt with a automatic. But i still use a pump 20ga sometimes.
Tristar G2 Viper 28ga.
