For squirrels, I suggest an adult air rifle. Not sure how close your neighbors are, which can make a big difference.
If you want a .22, Ruger's 10/22 can be as stock or customized ($$$) as you want.

My stepdad used to shoot them w a 410 shotgun, there are spent shells all over the place. We have a huge veggie garden and every type of bird feeder and bird house known to man up here so squirrels are the enemy. And they’re ubiquitous. I want to shoot them w a .22, slightly more sporting. 
So I’m almost ready to buy the Merlin w a cheap scope for $250 when I remember the Pelican advice and google it...Basspros has it brand new for $190!! 
Here is the table and gun and the ad for it new, (middle gun in second photo): |
