      17s are great. You can get great distance with a small round. Very accurate and great for hunting. I hope to own one someday soon. IMO, a great option compared to .22lr.

        It's a nikon buckmaster 4.5-14x40. I only use mine for hunting, but some guys who shoot paper usually like a 6-18x....for me, 4.5-14 is fantastic, no issues.

          so i shot it this weekend at sac valley and i love the thing. me and my father in law were shooting 1 in groups at the worst with the 17 gr v max but the 20 grain winchester super x was all over the place by that i mean 2 inch groups. but i bought 1000 rds for 220. so i have plenty of range ammo.

            On my phone so I cant see well what rifle is that and what stock is that if it did not come with it?

              Excellent shooting there. Why not join us in the Monthly Rimfire Matches here on Calguns. Heck we even offer prizes.

                    I bought a CZ 452 varmint in 17hmr not long after the round was introduced and wow it still blows me away how devastating that little round is.

                      Yeah now I'm just waiting to find a place to go kill some critters. I can't really find anything near San Jose.
