Not a bad shot with the 17HMR. There an extremely accurate cal but very wind affected. Love the way the rabbit is still trying to get away.

Not the caliber for the job, but he is Damn impressive.

Although I wonder how many were missed to get his dope right, especially with the wind.
42 clicks left is a lot for a cold bore shot.
I'm soft and I don't care. :dance:

My Nephew has one in heavy barrel in Anschutz. Lovely little accurate rifle and deadly on foxes. Only problem with them there very wind affectived. Honady V max seems to be the most accurate round for it.
