Bought a 17 hmr there about a month r so ago. Marlin VST. It's
my first rimfire so I can't comment on barrel length r much
else. I have a thumbhole stock and I think it's sweet. Put about
250 rounds through it and had about 4 miss-fires. Just reloaded
the round and it went 2nd time.

shoot out to 100 yds very accurate scope hawke do a similar
rim fire scope dedicated to the .17 hmr don't know about

Keep ur 22 pal have had 2 17hmr rifles yes there good but a 22
is a better tool as for longer range crows and bunny's get a
center fire I've shot more rabbits and crows with my .223 than
my rims.
Get the most out of ur 22 with a mildly scope and a laser range
finder I was able to hit rabbits at 120 yards with ease 4 and
1/4 mildly of drop for my paticular set up
17hmr is a funny round nearly to easy to use accurate yes noisy
yes cost affective yes
22 accurate yes noisy no cost affective very cheaper ammo more
available ammo sub sonic high velocity target rounds available
semi auto legal
Yes a 223 is over kill for rabbits and crows but try shooting
one at over 300 yards with a 22 or 17hmr
I like nothing better than sitting up on a hill watch over a
360 degrees of land picking off any quarry that strides in my
path.
