New toy: H&R Sportster in 17HMR (with pics)

[TonyB]

Hey all,
Picked up a target/varmint rifle last week used (Thanks, Steve). I was a little wary about the 17 HMR but it's pretty damn sweet...it's not as cheap as .22, but I like the velocity of the .17 and don't shoot a ton so the $10 per 50 is no sweat.

Also, anyone recommend, or have a source for that matter, a stockbutt shell holder like this one?...

nice looking rifle, not sure where to get the stock pack

Figured if I couldn't find one for that size, I could buy one for something larger and sew strips up the middle of each one.

looks good. Im sure the ground hog populace will be cursing that rifle in the summer

That was actually the main reason/excuse...my folks' get g'hogs at their farm from time to time. Groundhog burrows and horses legs don't mix,
that and a few years back one little rat excavated out a portion of the barn foundation. We can't have that either.

Ya we eradicate the hogs for the farmers. any reason to shoot em is a good enough reason.
