wellllllllllllll maybe.
on a comfortable summer night with the breeze close to 0 miles per hour you can safely kill prey that is a bit bigger then a house cat.
I'm not knocking the 17. heck I'm a rim fire fan myself. but from my experience past 80 yards you are setting your self up for failure.
it can be done, it has been done, I know a guy who hunts yokes with his.
but this man uses only eye shots and if it shows any sighn of wind in the forecast he takes out the 22 mag.
if it's a rougher day he pulls out the .223
if the weather really gets rough he says he would never hunt with anything smaller the 22-250.
on really bad weather days he stays home and plays cards.
