Looking for a decent 10-22 rifle to just go out and have fun and hone in my accuracy. It doesn't have to be in perfect condition, but it does have to shoot straight. If you or anyone you know wants a couple of bucks for their old .22 semi-auto rifle, please let me know. Thanks, Caleb

You can pick one up a WallyWorld for a couple hundred bucks. I know, that is new but you cant beat new.

Yeah, I saw that. I kinda want to change the stock on it, so if i can get a used one cheaper......it won't break the bank ( which is tight right now ).

check out the Krinker Plinker kit. It just makes it look cool, kinda pricey though.

Thats a nice kit but Damn, too much money. I was looking at the Archangle or Tapco kits that range from $80-$130.

Yes sir, I have one of those on the way......paid $80 + tax and ffl.
I did not know they had stock replacements, tho.

.17HMR of course is smaller diameter than .22 but its long and pointy, pretty fast and accurate. Its really an evil little monster, especially on a groundhog's head.

Never heard of it. How popular is that round?

very popular with varmint hunters and even target shooting. here in Va you cant hunt deer with anything smaller than .23 cal so that means an .223 AR is out and .17hmr is out so they are used a lot for groundhogs and such.

when i moved from Indiana, they had just legalized deer hunting with handguns, .357 minimum

This is the .17 HMR on the left and your standard .22 LR that the 10/22 uses on the right.

Its a varmint hunting gun smaller caliber than a .22 bit has more power with double the velocity. Most people use to hunt fox. Ground hogs. Snipe clocks of birds in fields. I was going to post a pic but my new phone (5th DROID x sux and is broken the first week I have it)

What are the price differences between the two for ammo?

.17HMR Definitely Costs more. It's not a bank breaking huge amount compared to other ammunition but when you consider a brick of .22LR (550Rds) goes for around 20 Dollars or for the same price for .17 you get 20-50 RDS. That's quite a difference. The .17HMRs are priced somewhat similar to .22Magnum cartridges and have somewhat similar ballistics but are a little more accruate. They are much better at taking down small varmit at longer distances than a .22 LR but not much better than a .22 magnum.

That's the economics of it. If i were to give an approximation at the distances each round were to be lethal and accurate i'd say this (only an estimation not exact numbers):
.22LR good for small game 50-100yds.
.22Mag good for small game 75-130yds
.17Hmr good for small game 100-175 yds. (most accurate of the 3)
When i say good i mean the round should carry enough velocity to be fairly lethal if you hit your target.

Would i buy one? Definitely if i had extra money sitting around. What would i rather use if i were going to spend the money on a distance varmit rifle? I'd get something chambered in a .223/5.56 Nato. You get much better stopping power at 2-3 times the distance for about the nearly the same money in ammunition costs. (The rifle itself will cost a bit more though)
Just my .02 Cents

The reason you may have not heard of it is because it's a fairly new round that has only existed in the mainstream gun market since 2002 and is really just starting to gather a following.
