Looks like most of you guys have me outgunned as far as caliber is concerned, but here's my main varminter.
Savage .17HMR 93R17 BRJ.
Heavy fluted barrel, chopped down to 16".
22 Magnum MAE supressor.
Topped with a Leupold VX1 4-12x.
Approx 1" groups at 100m. Good for hares, possums, rabbits out to 200m.
Longest kill to date is 230m but it took a couple of hits. Really runs outta steam past the 200m mark. Looking into a .204, but this is great for most of the smaller farms I shoot on up this way. Nice and quiet.
Very nice, you lose much/any velocity shortening the hmr? I read somewhere once optimum for the 22lr was 512mm or something
