17hmr????

[phishisgroovin]

is it good for coyotes?

Personal opinion?  Too light for yotes.

my thoughts too, if i want to pull the trigger on an animal. I also want it to die rather quick and proper.

I believe that the .22 mag is a far superior hunting round. But the .17 HMR is better for targets. Both are too expensive to plink with though.

I had one...sold it to fund another project.
Getting ready to list about 5 boxes of ammo and a boresnake.
Good cartridge...picks up out where 22lr leaves off.
Very accurate.

I've used my 17hmr on coons, works just fine.  Have yet to shoot a Yote or a Bobcat with it, but have shot a couple of oversized Feral Cats, and it was a bang flop situation with those guys, and a couple of them were pushing over 20lbs, so I thinkit will work fine on a Bobcat.

i got a savage 17hmr. it's so nice. with the accutrigger and i put  a simmons 3-9x32 it's a sweet set up for varmits. i will be doing a bunch of varmit hunting with it this year. i would get a savage. i have 2 savage's with teh accutrigger and it's totally worth it.

Well the only thing I have shoot with my savage 17hmr was a rabbit at around 50 yrds and it blew its stomach all over the road.

yeah see they do work.

i am planning to get out and do some shooting this weekend with it though. and my 7mm-08 with accutrigger also. they are nice guns.
i think i have only put 50 rounds throught the barrell.

i had one but traded it for tires that i needed for my toy. they are real fun guns and very accurate. i had a savage synthetic stock with the BSA sweet 17 scope on it. i could hit about anything i wanted to up to 250 yards. fun gun

[alanger]

yeah great guns.
