That's great, that's what it's all about. I want to take my son out for the same thing soon. He needs a little more practice with the .22 but he'll be ready soon. He has a Versa Pack also. You have the right idea, I'd take hunting for red squirrels with my kids over deer hunting alone any day.

Where could one find the versa-pack rifle to buy? I have grandsons wanting to squirrell hunt and that set-up would be perfect.

Where ever you find one, they haven't been made for several years.  :-\

Can you buy just a 22lr barrell for a handi rifle? I have one in .270, and the .357. A 22lr would be nice.

No, SB1 and SB2 centerfire frames only work with centerfire barrels, the VP barrel has an offset bore to work on a centerfire frame, rimfire barrels only work on SS1 rimfire frames that have an offset firing pin.

It's a shame H&R doesn't produce them again.  Then they can compete with the "R" guys for the youth market on combo's more effectively.  8(

***edit***

And congrats on a great outing.  I remember my thrill when I got my first keeper red squirrel.  ;)

Oh well, I guess I'll go another route. Thank you for the replies all the same.

gyoung65  Call a Gander Mtn and have them check there store inventory,  I still see them occasionally for $129.  The Gander in Woodbury, MN might still have 1 left.   They can send it to Gander neaerby you.
