Can a Ruger 10/22 really handle long range shooting for squirrel hunting? In this episode, we push a .22 LR setup to its limits in a real-world squirrel hunt. Mark Boardman puts his long-range Ruger 10/22 to the test using precision .22 LR ammo, Talon HD 10K rangefinding binoculars, and a ballistic weather meter to see if high-end gear typically reserved for western big game hunting improves small game hunting success. How far can you push your long-range limits with this gear? Watch to find out.
