Recommendations on a .17 HMR?
DC:
This is interesting. I thought .22 was the smallest calibre there was. .17 was an air rifle as far as I knew. Learn something new every day. I haven't shot for 40 years so maybe they snuck it in recently.
PS I just read the Wikipedia article about .17. It was developed recently. Sounds like a calibre I would have liked.
JW_Halverson:
Centerfire 17's have been around a good long time. The advent of the rimfire version was a gamechanger for varminters.
willie:
Those are some nice rifles you guys are talking about, but

22 LR seems about right, and easier to clean and cheaper to feed than a 17
or could it be that.....
she wants you to take her to the gun store (you missed black Friday >:()
or maybe she just wants you to come over and shoot them for her
Eric Krewson:
One of my friends has a bull barrel Ruger 10-22 in .17. He says a squirrel doesn't stand a chance at any distance.
I have bought several guns from the Kentucky Gun Company, they have the best prices I have found. I checked their site and they have plenty of .17HMRs starting at around $200 and up.

JW'b, I've been shooting that BSA since it came on the market with no problems. I figure if it raps out after that long I got my money's worth. And I'm not dumping a ton of money on a scope for shooting tree rats, I can still see.
