    @Dago i have just been through the same process on here in the last month. If you look back you will find my post. Ammo prices are about the same.
    I ended up going with the 17hmr. Rifle and scope choice will come down to what you want to spend. There were a lot of 17hmr on the market here but not what i was after.
    I have ended up putting my 3x9x40 of a .22 on mine and when i can afford to up grade i will be going to a twelve power or more. I personally don't like the nine power.
    So far i have tried out of two different brands of ammo my gun like's the hornady 20gr but when next in town i will grab a different brand of the 17gr

    Well writing this i just shot a magpie 100odd meters on the hill next to the house
