Hey fella's, Im thinkin of gettin one or the other
just looking for some input on both. I have heard a bunch of people raving about the .17 I also have heard that most of the bullets explode on impact. Anyone own both? And if so
how would you compare them as far as performance?
Thanks

Buy a .22Mag Rifle, semi-auto Ruger 10/22 would be my choice. Then get a spare barrel from here riflebarrels.com in .17 HMR and you have two rifles.

Another site is outdoorguides.com .

It might be cheaper to start out with a 10/22 in .17 HMR then buy a 22 MAG barrel.

From what I have heard, the .17 is good for sage rats, sqirrels where legal, and crows, but they should not be used against coyotes.

I have had a Remington 597 in .22 mag for about 5 years, and am looking for a barrel in .17 HMR.

Don't try and yote' hunt with a .17,stick with a .22mag.

Andy-
I was thinkin about getting a marlin bolt action
in stainless with a bull barrel 22 mag. GI joes price $209 and then tossin a scope on her.
What do you think?

I did a Poll about two month ago on the same thing. Here is the LINK

Marlin makes a very good rifle for the price, and their microgroove barrles are accurate.

I have shot some impresive groups out of my Marlin 882 (tube fed) It does not matter what ammo you feed it.....Ross

Chrome,

I have the bull barrel 22 mag SS, with a 3 x9 scope Cabelas Pine Ridge). It shoots very nice and it's seems to be well balanced. Although I have only killed paper with it, I must say it does a good job. For the price you won't be disappointed.
