    I have a couple of 22's... but they barely leave the safe. 90% of my small game hunting is done with the 17HMR.

    22s are brilliant for practice, but in the field the flat trajectory and power of the HMR makes it far more useful. If you're hunting, 70c vs 18c isn't an issue.

    As some of the guys have said, get both

    Have you considered the CZ455? That comes as a 17HMR, with a 22LR barrel (and you can get 22 magnum too). CZ's are fine rifles, I've had 2.
