.22 short or long rifle in subsonic flavors, or a pellet air rifle is sufficient. Anything centerfire is overkill. Peeps or irons work better than cheapo scopes in low light or looking into shady areas during the day. If you can afford a decent scope for your squirrel gun, good for you. Those squirrel calls might not bring them in, but they do get them to chatter back at you when you get close, worth it IMO. Covering lots of ground will give results let out a few calls and listen for replies, if you get nothing, move on. I don't think squirrels stray too far from their cache unless they have to. Good luck, have fun, and be safe.
