Quote: 100% agree with Micky Duck. I'll NEVER own a .17.

Baaaaaawhaaahahahah!… onya mate!… as I said ,different strokes for different folks,it’s great to have “choices”….

Just sounds like you have a “hate” for this rifle,have you actually had the opportunity to shoot one???.interested to know…. They actually a beauty to shoot

17 Hornet comes to mind.I accept its not everyone's cup of tea but if you are into re-loading and noise is of no concern try 17H. Its cheaper to shoot than the HMR & pretty devastating on Varmints at impressive ranges.....Sold my HMR as the Hornet has been the go to for some time.

no hate...and have seen them used,definately effective..but cant do anything my 223 cant do better......will never sell 223 so its a redundant cartridge for me....the 22lr nearly is too...use the 12ga more often for hares n rabbits. the other off putting bit for me/advantage of .223 is its legal on DOC controlled land.... which is 99% of my hunting.
