There's all sorts of recipes for squirrels...squirrel stew, squirrel kabobs, squirrel sandwiches, squirrel gumbo, squirrel spaghetti, squirrel a la ronge...
For a canoe weight isnt as big a deal is it? If thats the case Id suggest the TPS Arms m6, a better remake of the old m6 survival gun. Mine in 22 hornet can shoot 1" groups at 50 yards with cast bullets. Im sure more load development with jacketed bullets would be even better
For your viewers: Pack rifle has 100 receivers built and waiting for anodizing, problem being that their barrels are made by a third party and could still be 6 months or more to come in…I have been waiting two years. Unfortunately no hunting with a pistol in Canada so I have to be patient.
I was rooting for the squirrel sorry 😞 can't help it . You should hear my wife. My dog loves them tough starts in the front and leaves just a fluff of tail .🤮 he's old now and can't be bothered with no twitchy squirrels. 🤣🤣🤣
It's definitely interesting but, I think I'll stick with my Springfiels M6 .22/.410. I've got a 2.5x scope on it, added some copper 1/2" tubing on each side of the over/under barrels so I could carry about 10 spare rounds of .410 shells, along with the 4 that are in the stock itself, and 10 rounds of .22 in there too. Take a look at the various .410 rounds you can get. When I was in Alaska, I picked up Flare round, flechette rounds, slugs, 3 ball buckshot.. Great setup, mine goes everywhere with me. I'd forget my Seacamp pistol in my pocket before I forget my M6. One more suggestion... When shooting at a squirrel, use a tree to steady your rifle/pistol so you can get a clean head shot. As for my pistol, I carry a Ruger MK1 .22 with a Paclite (Tactical Solutions) 10" barrel on top of it, along with a nice pistol scope on top of that. It's a serious squirrel getter as well.
You have a better chance at milling one of these rifles yourself than finding one to buy... guess the company quick making them. If you ever want to sell it, Im here. lol
I'm not sure. When I bought mine they seemed to act as making them secondary to their main work, being a machine shop. I kind of bothered them a bit because it took a long while to get. Very nice people though. If you call they will answer.
@@survivingentropy my magic number is 1" @ 50 yards with an optic, though maybe for something so insanely light as this I'd consider 1.25" @ 40 yards (IE, squirrel head in a tree). Have you found it able to do that? Ive seen many reviews where a rifle is claimed accurate and they accept a 3" group. That may be fine on rabbit, but that would not be okay on squirrel, my main target.
Thanks for the information, I love small quirky .22’s and a rifle that can turn into a fishing pole is about as quirky as you can get!

Thanks for putting this together and bringing us along for the journey.
You're welcome I enjoy doing this thanks for the encouragement
That gun always reminds me of the gun the assassin used in the movie "The Day of The Jackal".
Thanks. Great movie. I'd like the one mounted in the back of the mini van
Man. I’ve been wanting this little rifle forever now..
It takes a while to get. Have to wait for them to assemble
Thanks for the mycology i liked the pack riffle i would like one for the canoe. Thanks for taking me on the hunt 👍
Thanks for commenting

Thanks for the update
Levicard, have you had any updates on the rifle?
The days of the jackal 👍👍👌👌
This rifle seems very similar to the old
Garcia Bronco .22 take down. Shoots
shorts/longs(remember them?)/long rifles.
I'd be happy if I could own a gun like that
Great bro.be on the way.
Good idea .
Thanks.

Keep that in mind. It goes where I goes. Thanks
@@survivingentropy How did you get it if you dont mind me asking?.. direct from the company, or a shop? And how long ago?
Call them and put in an order. Had it sent to a local gun shop. They took the money up front so, I'm afraid, I bothered them regularly.
It took a good while. I got it about 5 years ago
Are these rifles still available? I don’t think the website has been updated for some time.
I'm not sure. When I bought mine they seemed to act as making them secondary to their main work, being a machine shop. I kind of bothered them a bit because it took a long while to get. Very nice people though. If you call they will answer.
I like the little gun but 400 for it to me it should be cheaper that’s really the only thing deterring me from buying this small gun
Well. It's ultralight. You pay for what's not there. But it is expensive. A small manufacturer, I had to wait a long time for mine.
@@survivingentropy I appreciate the response and hope you enjoy it but I think I’ll wait till it goes on sale or the price drops a bit
How accurate have you found this gun to be? Ideally out to 50 yards
Easy accurate to 30 yards. Optic would help

I shot a red squirrel in the head at about 25 yds. I think it's real capable and built well. The trigger take time to get used to. It's long pull
Has the squirrel getter seemed pretty reliable?
The rifle is very reliable and set up to be long lasting
@@survivingentropy , thanks
Can it run .22 mag?
No. This rifle is specific 22lr. They only make this rifle, as far as I know. Thanks
Click on thought was another from other u tube home made looks same gun just no wood on it
There is no wood on this. Just different color coating
