So there hadn't been much of any activity in my yard the past few days but two days ago I happened to see a squirrel stealing seed out of one of the feeders in my front yard. I immediatly grabbed the iron sighted Gamo Whisper DX and loaded a Gamo Hunter. I snuck outside and got the little guy in my sights but missed high. Upset with myself I headed back into the house. To my suprise as I'm looking back out the window the squirrel came back for more. This time I wasn't messing around so I grabbed my Cometa Fusion Black in .177 which has a Simmons 4-12 sighted in for 25 yards. The shot was at about 12 yards so I guessed on the placement and pulled the trigger. Another miss. Now I was perturbed thinking I wouldn't get another try at him but to my suprise he was back in about ten minutes. This time I was really not messing around so I grabbed the RWS 48 in .22 and headed outside. The Barska 4-12 has mil-dots and I know exactly which mil to place my target on at various ranges. Put the critters head in the scope on the 2nd mil down and squeezed the trigger. The H&N FTT went zipping through his head and left a bloody mess on my ground. Finally got the little bugger though
