Pal,no bad reports on the 94/410, but that's a lot of money to spend controlling tree rats. It's a fun toy, so if you really want one....

Sights are not needed for squirrels, just perch the squirrel's head above the bead and squeeze.

For lower noise, get a reloading friend to make up some subsonic loads, say 3/4 oz at 900 FPS. They'll still whack a squirrel nicely inside 25 yards, and are very quiet if shot in a long bbl.

Also, squirrels are very tasty, don't waste those pests...
