I have been looking at buying a new .17HMR. I was looking at the Ruger, and I also looked at a Sako (which is big bucks). I was wondering if anyone has a Ruger and how it shoots. Also how is this overall caliber. I thought I might buy one just to shoot with at the range and to do some ground hog hunting with. Are they worth the money or should I just save my wifes money. LOL
