struttinhoyt Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I did a little swapin around yesterday and ened up with a .17 hmr..... I had a Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 mag and sold it to one guy and then bought the Marlin .17 has a Nikon Pro staff scope 2 clips and a box of shells...... had about a box or 2 of shells shot threw it...... I zeroed it in at 50 yards and moved out to about 130, 140 yards something like that and 3 out of 5 shots were in a quarter sized circle....... Thats as far as I have got to shoot it...... but I will test its abilitys b4 to much longer....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's completely black, with a bull barrel, 4x9x40 scope made by Simmons, and a 5 round clip. The gun's a bolt action. I shoot CCI's 17 grain TNTs, and I've shot groundhogs out to about 120+ yards with it! I highly recommend them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aitchie666 Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Re: got a .17 hmr..... Yeah quality little caliber. i got a Sako Quad, proper destroys rabbits. Only problem is that rounds are a bit expensive in England so have to go easy on em ($140 for 300rnds) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
