Any effect it has on that is likely to be a positive effect :)

If you buy a new one and its mainly for rabbits/hares then I'd definitely go for a 17hmr over a 22mag.

There is bugger all kick from an unsuppressed 223 either tbh, its just the noise. :)

Suppressed 223s I've heard/used have been quieter than unsuppressed 22mag or 17hmr, the 22mag has a pretty sharp crack to it. My suppressed 22mag was similar to unsuppressed 22LR supersonic.

As...

Hares can be tough buggers. I'd just suppress the 223 though, 22mag is kinda stuck in the middle without doing either job that well - I had one and sold it for a 223.
