Thinking about converting to a 17 hmr
I've been a 22 mag since I was 13 yrs old. they're just great guns but I'm hearing alot about the 17 and I was looking at them at gander mountian and I almost bought the dang thing right there. I've had the same 22 mag for 14 years now and it was used when I bought it so its definately looking rough. I'd be using the 17 for anything from squirrels to coyotes. Little worried that it may not be right for coyotes. Are they really as good as everyone says they are or is it hype? And what is the difference between the hmr and the mach 2?
If anyone has articles or can tell me as much as possible. The prospect of the velocity and accuracy is really what I want to know. I'm thinking either savage or marlin. Your thoughts are appreciated.
