[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 299793, member: 4885"] A 17hmr and 243win would be a nice way to start, that would cover most varmit needs pretty well. I've shot a couple of the Savage 93 in 17hmr and they were very accurate, they have the Accutrigger and are very reasonably priced. If you went with the Savage 17hmr, you could get a Savage in 243 with the same trigger. I'm sure it would be legal to use a 243 for squirrel, but you'd need to really be aware of your backstop with the 243. (of course you need to be aware of your backstop regardless, but a .243 shooting a 100gr bullet is a but different than a 17 shooting a 17gr bullet) AJ [/QUOTE]
