School me on .17hmr

[Redneck]

I bet anybody with these 93 could turn a dime on its side at 100 and shoot it. I'm telling you they are they accurate.

Hitting rifle cartidriges at 100 yards. No problem. Busting clays at 300. No problem. Except for when you think u miss but actually you just solidly put a hole through the clay with no bust. Fun fun guns.

Or while you two are trying 300yds on clays with a 17 and I'm sending .308 rounds down there too while you guys are aiming. Now that was fun.

Yea. I think my accuracy with that savage 17 of mine was for more surperb then your 308. .

Either way. 17hmr for target shooting or hunting. They are a solid round that are far more accurate then most. If its a little windy tho you may have some trouble with that light weight bullet. No kick. Not much sound. I think my 1400fps pellet gun kicks more then my savage 17hmr.

My phone rang today about a deal so I picked up one of these today and am not familiar with the caliber .17 hmr.
What's your personal experience with it.

17HMR is like a mini rimfire version of .223. You'll like it.

*** ammo is sold *** Your thread reminded me that I still have almost 400 rounds of 17HMR HP, roughly an even mix of unopened Hornady, CCI, Federal, and Remington. I sold off my small 17HMR collection earlier this year in favor of larger rounds. I see you're in Frederick. I'm in Mount Airy. If you're interested, I'll sell it cheap. Just PM me.

Enjoy your new rifle. It's a definite keeper.

Is that a Weaver scope on that rifle? How do you like Weaver optics?

I an contemplating getting a Weaver pistol scope for my Encore -next year when I turn it into a .308 handgun. They seem like a decent scope for the cost.

It's a Mueller Eraticator but I love it, I bought another Mueller for my Savage Mark II TRR-SR

By the way. I had a henry 17. Mine was just not on par with the accuracy of the savage 93. I guess it was the platform but I never carried it, so I sold it.

Here is my marlin.... 12 rounds at 100 yards.

Best Rimfire ever

Sold my 17hmr.
Was not very impressed by it.

possibly getting a 22wmr and my 22-250 will take care of anything a 22wmr can't reach.

But I did appreciate the consistent groups at 100yds. Past that, properties I shoot, the wind causes problems.
