The .17 is a squirrel's nightmare.
Mark 1:17 ...I will make you fishers of men
What shell you using ? Is it the 17 mach 2 ? I shot squirrels into with my 17 and went back to a 22 cal . Would like to shoot my 17 for distance .

I used the CCI v-max with the polymer tip with the 17 grain bullet. I need to go to a fmj bullet as the v-max did a little more damage than I like. I did some research and found a fmj bullet is made in 20 grains by a couple different companies. They claim that the fmj bullet is superb for small game and shooting furbearers with minimal meat and fur loss.

I have the marlin bolt in 17, head shots only.
Of course if your planning on squirrel head dumplings, your gonna be missing something.

Those Savage rimfires are supposed to be very accurate

I found the 17 to be a bit over kill. It's definitely head shot only.
