Full, unless you think you can sneak up pretty close.

Completely agree. No such thing as an accurate breakover.
I've killed a lot of critters with an old Benjamin pump in .177
If money were no object, I would own an Air Force air rifle. Those are bad ass air guns.

Ok. Turns out my 870 has Mod and Turkey chokes only. My Stoeger has Mod, IC, Full, and Turkey.
Take the Stoeger with Full, or the 870 with Mod? Assuming I can't find 22LR tomorrow. Maybe I will find an 870 Fill choke I suppose.

Modified should be good. Or take the stoeger, you are shooting squirrels with a shotgun, don't over think it. Pro tip, if a squirrel runs to the other side of the tree throw your hat to the other side.
When you get some, look up Clay Newcomb squirrel tail wreaths. Festive as all get out.

I would use the turkey choke since it should be the fullest. Squirrels with a shotgun is quite low tech. Any shotgun will work. I shot my first game animal, a squirrel with a 20 gauge with improved cylinder choke in 1969. Bite lightly when eating them since there will be BBs.
I’m carrying the HC mini (6#3oz) and Edgun Leshiy (4#3oz). 10 pounds of compact death from above for all things gray and furry.

That would make that squirrel meat more valuable than gold, ounce for ounce.
I'm getting my Benjamin Maximus today according to UPS. I don't have a scuba adapter or pump yet so I may have to just fondle it for few days. Is this foreplay?
Edit: I just went out and filled the squirrel feeder which is on the ground. I can have one cooking in 15 minutes.

I just got my Maximus and it seems to be completely empty. I read others received them with 1000 psi. My scuba adapter is due to be delivered Saturday. I am down till then. The nice thing about spring type guns is nothing else is needed to make them work. I have a 177 and a 22 springer.
Keep us posted brother. I still haven't bought one yet...

The most expensive meat on planet Earth. And I have zero regrets

Same here .... key word is firearm. Air powered skirts that.
I hadn't thought about that. They just added airguns for small game in PA a few years ago and I haven't read the regs yet . It might be perfectly legal.
This gets very high compliments from the guys on the airgun forums.

I edited my last post to include a link to a really good deal on a pump. If you are serious about getting a PCP, you should jump on that

Does the hand pump take the fun out of it? Is it hard enough to pump, that you refrain from shooting at stupid stuff?
it doesn’t stop me. It’s free exercise that gets a fun tangible result. Or you can just pay more money and have your work done for you.
