    .17HMR Set up for rabbit culling.

    Hi Folks,
    I was interested in some opinions on .17HMR.

    Boss is keen to stump up on a set up to start dealing to the rabbit plague on the farm.

    We are fans of CZ's. Currently using a couple of CZ455 .22 set ups during the day and when out lighting. Looking at a CZ .17HMR with a thermal scope.

    I'm interested on peoples thoughts on .22 vs .17HMR, do you guys and girls using them rate the .17 HMR for bunny shooting?

    What grain round in .17 are you using and liking? Cost of .17 looks significantly more than .22.
    Are the .17 quieter rounds to use?
    What distances are you shooting out to comfortably with .17?

    Also looking at thermal scopes. looking for something in the middle ground in the way of cost, any recommendations on thermal scopes?

    Regards,
    Mark.
