When you are hunting squirrels, a 22LR rifle works pretty good too.





For both 410 shotguns and 22LR rifles, you can probably find a simple bolt action or single shot on the used rack of larger gun stores for a little under $100. If you were to buy the least expensive new semiauto 22LR or single shot 410 you'd pay probably around $125. If you were to get a nice 22LR rifle like a Ruger 10/22 probably $175, a pump action 410 shotgun like Remington 870 express or a Mossberg 500 probably around $300
It will all depend on which gun you buy. You can buy a cheap single shot for about $150 or you can buy something more expensive. Actually, a .410 is not all that good of a squirrel gun. I know many squirrels have been taken with a .410 but you really have to be a good shot to get your limit with a .410. There just isn't much shot in a .410 shell. Another consideration is that tin most cases, .410 shells are more expensive than 20 ga. or 12 ga. If recoil is a concern, get a 20 ga. I'd recommend a Mossburg 500. You can probably find a nice used one for somewhere in the $200 range. You will be much happier with a 20 ga. than you will with a .410 and you will be able to find ammo easier and in more varieties of loads.
For one thing, unless you are an experienced shotgunner, I'd not call a .410 shotgun a squirrel gun.





In fact, unless required to hunt with shotguns, I'd not call any shotgun a squirrel gun. IMO, squirrel guns are rifles.





A good .22 makes a fine squirrel gun and a Marlin Model 60 or Ruger 10/22 would be fine in the budget range of .22's. With a little luck, you can find either of these rifles under $200.00 or not much over.





My favorite squirrel rifle is a Marlin Model 39 lever-action .22 rifle, but it is lots more expensive than the Model 60, but it is worth it..





Doc
mossbergs and remington are the middle grade shotguns, look at the prices of them in the links below, and then compare. H%26amp;R is not bad, but if you can afford a little more try to buy at least a mossberg. the second link describes the different types of barrels if you ever intend to use slugs.
Avoid the .410 Shotgun.... A .22 would be fine but if its a shotgun you want then surely consider a 20 gauge...





This is a good choice.... Mossberg 500... About $250...

For about $125 you can get an H%26amp;R Pardner single shot shotgun....

Do not let the cheap price make you think this gun doesn't perform... It does!! I own many excellent rifles and shotguns and have got to tell you this Pardner is fairly accurate and fun to shoot....
I'm voting more or less with the rest of the crowd. If you're hunting for sport, a 22 rifle is a better choice. If you're hunting for meat, go with a shotgun, by all means, but not a 410. It has about the same amount of shot as a 28 guage, but with a long shot string that makes it inferior. A 20 guage would be much more suitable. One of the above answers has good links for that. My personal preference in shotguns is to get bird guns, normally doubles, that can be drafted for additional use...but they ain't cheap. Just as a look at what I'm talking about, this is probably my next shotgun purchase: http://www.cz-usa.com/product_detail.php鈥?/a> .This is not a recommendation, just an idea of how there are alternatives.
.410 is the smallest shotgun out there. Ammo costs a bit high. Legal to hunt deer -w- a .410 slug in Missouri as of last year.


Use a .22 for squirrel, unless you shooting up in the tree, then use a .410.


Never shoot a .22 up in a tree.
A single-shot .410 shotgun will typically cost about $100-$150. Another popular squirrel gun, the .22LR bolt action will cost slightly more, but in the same $100-$150 range.
a singleshot .410 should be available new at discount stores for a little over $100

Squirrel is a job for a .22 rifle, IMO.
I agree save some money on your firearm and ammo and get a nice 10-22 or something along those lines.
A break open single shot like a New England will run you between $ 99 %26amp; $ 150
I've seen used single shot .410 shotguns as low as $60, but the average price is around $100
YOU WOULD BE ALOT BETTER OFF WITH A 22 NO PELLETS BUT EITHER WAY ABOUT 100 AND UP
