.17 Caliber HMR
I bought a Stevens .17 HMR rifle a few years ago and really like the way it shoots. Within 50 yds. it is deadly on gophers and other small critters that dig holes where you don't want them. I've mounted a variable power scope on the rifle and out to 300 + yds. it is quite accurate on larger targets when a cross wind isn't blowing. I could have spent much more $$ for a gopher gun but I don't believe I could have any better for my humble purposes.

Re: .17 Caliber HMR
I will ask a silly question since I have not seen a .17 up close. Is that roughly the same bore as a BB? .177 cal?

Yes. .177 is 4.5mm.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Make your post (Full editor & preview)) scroll down after typing your information/reply in and before you hit submit and you'll see the following (See screenshots). Click on attachments, then click on add files then navigate to where your photos are and upload them. You can upload 5 pictures per post I think, so you repeat the process until you get all your pictures uploaded.Big Coulee wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2024 12:51 pm I'd be happy to provide pictures but I'm not familiar with to process to post pics. in this forum.
