I have a few .22lr rifles, and two nice .22magnum rifles.
What would a .17 do for me that my .22s wont?

You need it. You want it. You should have it.Why do I need a .17?
My 17 HMR shoots groundhogs at distances my 22LR can’t. Wasn’t an issue when the ‘hogs were complacent, but now they’ve learned.
If the wind isn't blowing you can shoot shotgun shells at 200 yards with a 17 hmr.
I have a 17 Remington AR-15. Cool rifle. Very accurate. Puts itty bitty holes in things.
My neighbor also claims his .17 is his most accurate rifle.I like my HMR. It's very accurate
They are remarkably accurate. You need to clean the bore more often than a 22 to maintain accuracy.My neighbor also claims his .17 is his most accurate rifle.
I wouldn't say it's my most accurate because a breeze will move it a lot. But it will put 5 in a nickel at 100yds if it's calm.My neighbor also claims his .17 is his most accurate rifle.
