chelly Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 I currently have a 22lr and 223, space on ticket for 17hmr and hornet. Now the 22 is for rabbits and the 223 is for foxing although I do have ground game and vermin listed for the 223. I do occasionally shoot rabbits at longer ranges with the 223 but not that often,I also reload so not that expensive. Now my question is do I get a 17 for rabbits out to 130-150 yards or do I just use the 223 and save some pennies? I have a Lincoln o/u 28g shotty that I don't really use which is in good nick (v.good) which I could sell to raise some funds but not sure of value, once again not sure if it's the correct thing to do? Also I have started using nv(add on) and I know the light nights are coming but I also have to take that into consideration. I hope this makes sense and would be grateful for anyone's input.

Beardo Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 i have all three, and find they all have their place. Though the .17hmr is my main rabbit gun, and i only use the .22lr if i need to be quiet. You'll find the .17 great with the NV as it's so flat shooting and range finding is difficult through one.

Luckyshot Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 I think it will depend how often you are going to use it. If not very often stick with the 223 if you are going to use it regulary go for the HMR/Hornet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
