    Rimfire .17 cal. What's good, what's not?

    I know that in the early days the .17 (HM2) had a habit of splitting cases.
    Is this sorted now with the new variants (HMR, WSM)?
    I have a contact who wants a .17 as the .22 is a tad shy on range for the area/bunnies he hunts.
    Can you also recommend a nice new .17 rifle too?
    Thanks.
    Artillery...landscape adjustment since 1300AD.
