I have a few that I switch out. my main hunting ground is on federal land so I have to use a rifle. 22/20ga over under w/4x scope. I use this one when hunting alone easier to see with the scope and hold light. 22/410 open sights if some else is with me to hold light. Now that im in La I cant use the shot guns on coon.
I also recently purchased a couple of pistols to use off base after deer season. walther p22 and ruger mark III hunter.
I've shot out 2 so far with the walther but haven't used the ruger for hunting yet.

1. Marlin model 60 w 4x32 scope when by myself

2. Rossi 22 single shot with 4x32 scope when my son goes. Thats his gun and we take it hoping one wont climb high so he can shoot one out. He tends to shake a little when holding gun up whereas he is accurate as heck shooting at targets. He'll get it though and he nor I cant wait.

3. Ruger MarkII pistol when I dont feel like carrying rifle.

How's that been working out for ya Russ? It looks like it all sets up too high and will be susceptible to getting knocked around and losing it's zero? Especially while coonhunting. I'd be curious to know how rugged that set up is.

I have a Little Cricket like Russ has. Except mine has a little 3-7 variable scope on it.

It's lightweight and accurate. Plus you can shoot LRs, longs, or shorts in it.

The laser sights are illegal in Michigan. You can use a red dot scope as long as the dot isn't projected outside the scope.

I have a single shot Savage M1-G equipped with a Mueller red dot scope, and I prefer to shoot CCI SGB.

Click on detail for SGB.

It isn't as light as a Cricket, but it sure the heck can shoot.
