#>Is your rifle a 22 Long Rifle or a 22 Magnum? The two are NOT interchangable

Damn...I have a .22 LR.  My roof is shingled.  He's about 20ft from
me.  He's fast as hell.  I have a scoped 22 but flying squirrels are
nocturnal so he only comes out at night and even thou I have a
flashlight taped to the barrel, there is still not enough light to see
him thru the scope.  And I only have a fraction of a second to sight
in on him before he's gone.

I've tried poison but he won't eat it. This is a real problem for me.
He' doing considerable damage to the side of my house!!

I have 2 22 rifles and a handgun.  One of my rifles is a bolt-action
Ruger, the other is a semi-action Tarus.  The Ruger has a scope and no
iron sights on the barrel so if I remove the scope I still won't be
able to sight him in.  The Tarus is semiauto and has sights but jams
with birdshot.  I hate Tarus!!  It uses a plunger to cycle to
action.

These pellet guns, are the semi auto rapid fire?  He moves fast so
I'll need to keep pulling the trigger - spray & pray...

Thx for all your replies...
