hows it shoot in the 70-100yd range. that seemed to be the range wwhere i shot alot of squrels with my 17hmr. if the 17lr shoots good at 100yds and is only printing a hair over point of aim at 50 then it would be just as fun and more ecenomical to shoot than the hummer.

im going to either buy 22mag. to complement my 17hummer barrel and have switch barrel rig in 77.m action. but im getting the urge to rebarrl the 10/22 with 17hm2 tube.

cant decide.

the hm2 shoots at 2000 or so and the 22mag is at 2200. itl all depend on wich is cheaper

as of right now im going to get a 22mag so i have the option of hummer or 22m.

thats why im asking how the 17lr does out past 50yds. it wouldnt be worth it to me as 50yd plinker because my 10/22 will kill em alittle farther than that and shoots little 10rd groups at 50yds.

it seems to me to be a toss up either way.

thanks

Evan
