Thanks to everyone for making me feel good about my purchase
I took
174 coyotes this past winter so thought I'd buy myself this gift with the some of the fur sale.
The 17HMR provides me with trigger time without the reloading hassle
So, I went out shooting but that scope didn't give me the best outcome... not enough magnification.
I didn't want to, but will be robbing my sako 22 rimfire of its scope.
It's an Elite 4200 4-16 with frontal parallax adjustment.
I've got a huge stash (5 cases / 5000 rounds) of 17HMR ammunition, all the same, CCI 20gr Gamepoint. Regardless of its performance with this rifle I'll stick with it as I don't want to invest any more money into ammunition.
But, would like to try REMINGTON PREMIERE 17gr. at some point.
Once I get this rifle sighted-in and calibrated for different distances I have a pigeon shoot planned. Over 300 pigeons on local ranch that need to be thinned down.
Everyone, please keep your 17HMR experiences and ideas coming !
