Very nice. I may have to look into that. Mine is sporting a Bushnell Banner 3-9X40 right now. Until I can afford something a little better.

I know someone with a Savage .17hmr. He really likes it and its a nice little setup for sure. He bang flopped a doe with it at 30yds, 17gr vmax bullet. Not your ideal deer hunting round, but it worked like a charm. LOL

Today, I was out shooting the new rifle. I took a .22 lr round (unfired) and pushed it into the cardboard box I was shooting at, so that just the back end with the primer was exposed. I knew I was hitting high and to the left about half an inch, so I aimed to compensate and squeezed the trigger. The .22 shell disappeared into the box. When I went to investigate, this is what I found. The .22 shell had fired and the bullet exited the left side of the box. Probably the best shot I've ever taken. I shot it at approximately 50 yards.

Very nice

Mine is scary accurate....after break in and about 100 rounds I was able to sit and slice a card on edge @ 50 yards...hitting it about 10% of the time.

Thank ya! And That is awesome. I might have to try that!

Very dangerous practice !!!

The bullet was facing away from me. The only way the .22 bullet would hit me would be to face me when it was fired. And the .17 bullet hitting the primer would have given the .22 round forward momentum, away from me. With a good backdrop, it's safe enough for me.

Ridge is that guy that hangs around and keeps the rest of us humble! In the right hands, placed properly, the rimfire mags will do a lot on coyotes. Guys like ridge are like the slim fast commercials with people that lost 100lbs, it happens, but he's the exception, not the rule. If you're a long poker, then you know your range capabilities. If you're not, then the .17hmr does the job for most guys to around 150ish.

And then of course holding solid on target and delivering the shot sub-moa at 300yrds just happens on it's own... I like throwing long balls, but Ridge definitely plays at a different level.
