    I have a contact who wants a .17 as the .22 is a tad shy on range for the area/bunnies he hunts.
    Can you also recommend a nice new .17 rifle too?
    Thanks.
    Some 17HMR still splits the case at the neck shoulder junction, Browning for instance

    With that in mind a bolt action is preferable to a semi

    The HMR is a great cartridge but its not miraculous at distance if its windy

    I have had a WSM rifle on back order forever, not a big problem with the lack of ammo available though
