    I have both, and while the newer .22mag ammo narrows the gap somewhat if your buying it as a rabbit rifle I would say 17hmr all the way.

    As has been said, if you also want to use the rifle for goats/wallabies then .22mag.

    17hmr suppresses just fine and won't lose any speed-hell mine gains a very small amount.
    17hmr is also less of a ricochet risk than any .22
