RE: 22WMR or the 17HMR
Marlin makes some very nice, very affordable rimfire rifles. A guy I know took his Marlin to a rimfire paper match, and he finished second, only to a guy with an Anschutz (costs big $$$$$).
Gene62, is that a 10/22? How much did accuracy improve after adding the new barrel.
I've been thinking about getting a 10/22 and going hog wild accessorizing it.
