Thread: 17hmr

I havent used it much but got a Sako Finnfire 17 HMR and have found it ecxellent. Ive got a 22LR the same as a matched pair. One for practice and suppressed for close poss and indoor practice. I swap the suppressor between them. Its good for hares out to 80m as I need no holdover. Have shot one at 140m but went a couple of cm sideways and found it sitting wounded to finish off. Mine both have cheap 3-12 scopes - you can use the extra magnification with the 17 but dont stint on the low range and parallax focus -you will shooting at 10m fairly often.

If your 22 is half decent, see if you can get a 17 in the same model and same scope.
