Thread: 22mag or 17 hmr

I love my little marlin 17hmr w varmint barrel, it shoots like a laser and is outstanding for knocking down hares and turkeys that would just laugh at a 22LR. Same as above, the only time I use my 22 now is shooting subs. I had mine shortened and suppressed by gunworks to take a bit of the crack away and it shoots just as well as it did before but now has the added bonus of confusing hares instead of sening them running.

Love the calibre but in hindsight, for similar money, I would get a savage or a CZ, primarily for the nicer trigger as the marlin one is nothing special.
