njc110381 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Nice rifle. It's almost too posh to take outside! I think the HMR is a brilliant starters calibre. It's pretty safe and also very easy to shoot accurately out to 120 yards or so. It doesn't like the wind a lot but if you keep your shots inside 100 yards on very windy days you shouldn't have any problems. When you get to know it better you can get 200 yards out of it if it's calm! Some people say more, but 200 is pushing it I recon. For a rimfire it's pretty good at range as long as your quarry isn't too big. Have fun with it. Most importantly be safe. You'll get to know how far you can push your luck with experience but it pays to be really cautious until you get to know it a little better.
