    100% agree with Micky Duck. I'll NEVER own a .17. My 222 Remington and 22 Hornet do the job and I cant see that changing any time soon. Longest 222 one shot kill on a bunny 242m, a pair of goats at 267m. Just added a Guide TS450 to the Hornet which opens up a whole new option for long range nighty shooting bunnies.
