My favorite .22 is my ruger 1022 for comparison
.17 HMR Semi auto
- Thread starter Popcorn
- Start date
My 17 is a Neff single shot, wanted a marlin when the round came out, 100y shots on squirrels use to be easy, shooting more than 1 at distance in a big forest proved to be a egg hunt finding them, shot a limit in big woods 1 time from same spot, lost 2 and 1.5 hours searching. the Keltec semi had jamming issues also not sure they ironed that out, haven't kept track of the Ruger rifles in a long time but would go that direction if possible.
My savage 17hmr is my favorite bullet slinger

I will find out what my BIL owns. I know he has carried it in the field and killed coyotes with it. He is a pretty picky kind of guy so I will find out every wart the gun owns along with the positives.

That sucks I was looking at one of those hard!
I even have the A17 ammo that you're supposed to use in them

Wow. Must be real bad. Have you took it to a smith? See if the mag needs modified or the feed ramp?

As have I. I've been eyeing the bergara. Any experience with?
The Bergara semi-auto rimfire only comes in .22LR. The BMR is a bolt action and comes in a .17HMR as well as .22 LR and .22 WMR

I have a Savage boat action bull barrel. It is an absolute tack driver.
I had feed problems with a couple magazines but I tweaked the mags a bit and haven't had any more problems.

I have a BMR in .17HMR that I've only put about fifteen rounds through so far but its a sweet little rifle.

I have a ruger american 17hmr. I even bought 16 boxes ammo for it. I think i have put a box ammo thru it. I thought i would use it alot. I always grab my 22 mag.

Wh
Which one you get? This will probably be one of my next purchases
I have the savage 93 bolt action bill barrel too and it shoots better than me.

Me too. The 17 hmr is accurate but no where near as deadly as a 22 mag. If you are shooting targets go with the 17 hmr. If you intend to hunt with it go with the 22 mag.
