I also have the 17 WMR..........YIKES !!! If you want it for coyotes and general vermin, that's what I'd get. They have a newer one in stainless with a bull barrel. They didn't have that available when I bought mine, wish they did...

Post by: JohnVH on October 24, 2014, 03:40:06 PM: thought about the WMR, but how loud is it?

I was digging the one I posted the link to because its nice and short, be easier to pack around and in and out of the truck. That was my thought anyway, if it wasnt too bad on accuracy

I've got a ThunderBeast 22-L can coming that I can't wait to screw on the end of my Savage 93 17HMR. What's the thread pitch those come with???

As for loudness, you can shoot it w/o ear plugs. It's got a snappy crack to it, but not annoying. I bought it for coyotes over here and have not shot one yet. I have 1000 rounds for mine, so I'm ready..... :tup:

That's funny, we must think alike because I'm not only waiting for that ThunderBeast 22L-1 but a 223P-2 that will go on my little .223 Ack. Imp. :tup:
