Anybody have a .17hmr? I'm thinking about buying the Savage Arms 93R17 FV 17HMR Rifle, 21" Synthetic Varmint Rifle -

only negative thing i've read about the round is wind affects it horribly. and where i target shoot, it can get pretty gusty.

I've got a Savage 17HMR, & absolutely LOVE it. I'm a left handed rifle shooter, and it's the only rifle I own that's left handed, only reason I bought it is because it was on sale, & paid $130 for it, they were clearing out old, non moving stock. Its a blast to shoot, and works well on getting rid of nuisance yard varmints, (squirrels, feral cats, rabbits) & doesn't bother the neighbors with "gunfire" It puts a smile on my face watching them roll ass over teacup thru my scope when they get hit, and the squirrels and rabbits make up a nice little dinner, especially fresh!!!!!!! LOL

Wait a minute here.

You don’t also eat the cats you shoot?

with reloading i'm guessing.

i'm looking for a combo cheap rifle/ with purchased ammo. 17 hmr, 22 magnum and 204 ruger were kinda my thoughts unless you got other ideas?

unless i'm mistaken, i couldn't touch a triple deuce NIB for the cost of that savage plus 500 rounds of 17.

i'm set up to reload 243 and 22 250 atm.

I reload .222Rem. and .22-250, I bought 5,000 Winchester primers for $10.50/1000 and 1000 Win 50gn PSP bullets for $60 ~15 years ago so my cost is really low. I shoot 53gn. Sierra Match King bullets in the .22-250 and they cost me $11.95/100. I inherited a bunch of old DWM cases for .222, and I mostly use Norma cases for .22-250. I have some NOS SAKO cases for .222, but they're too valuable to shoot
I have a 1965 SAKO Forester in .243 but I shoot factory (Federal) ammo in it because I don't shoot it much
