    Savage .17HMR 93R17 BRJ.

    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
    "Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.

    308Win One chambering to rule them all.
