I've been doing some reading and youtubing about these rifles. They seem like they're a lot of fun.

 

Anyone on the forum using one? Thoughts?

 

I would, but it is one more caliber I have to stock up on. Then go nuts when it is out of stock.

The ammo for .17 HMR is about $17- $18/box of 50 similar to .22mag.

And that is definately more than I want to spend for ammo on a plinker.

I have a revolver with interchangeable cylinders (22lr and 22mag) I very rarely shoot 22mag because of the price.

The ammo is pricey but I do love that caliber. Super fast and straight. I guess if you hunt a lot of varmints at long range it'd be a sweet choice.

I have a Ruger 77/17. Sweet rifle! Last time I bought ammo for it, I got it for $9.00 a box in bricks. That was a while back, though.

The ammo for .17 HMR is about $17- $18/box of 50 similar to .22mag.

 

For that price I'll stick with 22lr.
