We're gettin' ready to head out back and get some red squirrels... he's takin' my .410 and I'm usin' the versa 22.
Wish us luck.

I'll let you know if we get any.

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.

The boy did great!! He got 2 reds and a chipmunk.

Now he wants to confiscate my 410... hehehehehehe. I love it.
I couldn't ask for a better day in the woods. Perfect... just perfect.

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(

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.
