Benelli R1, 338 Win Mag, Zeiss Conquest.
Well, maybe if the squirrels weighed 1000 pounds.
The R1 is supposed to have half the recoil of a bolt action in the same caliber. So the 338 is supposed to recoil about like a 308. That's about right. I put 20 rounds through it in a thin shirt, no pain, no bruising. Could have shot another 100.
Couldn't tell about accuracy, I was shooting off the hood of my truck in 30mph cold wind. Still it shot around 2 inches at 100 yards. Handles like a Ferrari. Very high quality feel to it.
I like this rifle very much, though perhaps not for squirrels.
