Took my Ranch on a camping trip near Waimate, and this little bugger showed herself just long enough to put a round in her chest. 160321

One piece of advice, shorten the barrel if your going to shoot out of a vehicle, mine was a pita getting in and out of the truck with a full length barrel and suppressor.

The setup I run works for me and the hunting / ranges here in my little patch of Central Otago. Firstly a suppressed .22 running subsonic ammo, still the most economic way to shoot. The low noise...

If you do your bit 17HMR is a one shot one kill on small game. No holdover, cross hairs on job done. I do a bit of pest work for meat so head/neck shots only. I do use .22 subs for a change...

I have a Ruger American 17hmr. Very accurate and flat flying out to 100m+. I use these in it, found they were more consistent than the 17 gr ones, once dialed in. Its just a little weak on...

17HMR is IMHO a big step up from 22 but then so is the ammo cost, 17HMR will kill cleanly and consistently out to 150m if you do your bit. 17grain CCI works best in my Savage but like most rimfires,...

17HMR goes good on rabbits around here. 17gr ballistic tip ammo. The CZ 457 is a real joy to use. viper will have an option I'm sure. 150m down vineward rows seems to work alright for me.

great choice for rabbits, although I took my Brno .22 night shooting with subs and enjoyed that as well, but not as accurate and devastating as the 17 hmr. I current have a weihrauch, better than CZ,...

I've never had a 22 ricochet off a bunny.

Ive given up on the 22, to many richochets. The 17 seems to shatter when it hits anything, never had a richochet and it is more accurate and hits further. I expect 22 fans to blast me now,lol

Having shot several thousand rounds of .17HMR and .22WMR in the past couple of years in fairly open country I would conclude the following based on the goal of one shot humane kills: .22LR I now...
