I love my Alexander Arm's .17 HMR, incredibly accurate! One eve I took 3 coyote's within 1 min all with headshots at between 100 - 150 yards. I have a Gemtec that does a little to reduce noise but still shooting a supersonic round. Would love a 10/22 configuration in .17 HMR. Buy one and enjoy. Check out Nikon's PROSTAFF 5 scopes, some good promo's going on right now to save some $.

I ended up with a used Savage .17hmr that came with a leupold vx1 3-9. It’s still in jail but for a total of 250$ for the complete package it should work for now. I’ll let you guys know how it shoots.

I realize you have a scope but, for the $$$, this would be a really nice upgrade. Very usable power range & the optics are great for the price point (on sale right now).

Took out my savage today and the thing shoots lights out even with lead free ammo. Way more knock down than the .22lr. Pretty much dead on impact on every ground squirrel. Should of bought one of these guns years ago. The 3-9 scope is clear but a little lacking on magnification. A 4-14 I think will be the ticket. Thanks everyone for your help.

I was shooting cci tnt green and while I never made it to the range to check groups it hit everything I aimed at.

I tried non lead .22lr and gave up. Crappy price, crappy range and crappy accuracy.

.17 WSM is a great cartridge. It'll even take out coyote the only problem I finding the right rifle.

Is .17HMR the right choice?
