17 Hornet Rifle

Had a friend that had one. Makes a perfect varmint gun. Even close coyotes. The only downside is ammo price and availability in a pinch.
I like the ballistics numbers of the 17 hornet over the other 17 caliber, but I have never had a 22 Hornet either--Just Curious about it
I understand. I was curious about it because I have a 22 hornet and was thinking about getting a 17 hornet to go with it. I don't have any trouble getting ammo for the 22 hornet. It's a neat little round. Great for critter control. I only have a single shot right now, but I've been looking at getting either a savage 25 or a CZ in 22 hornet.
Go with the CZ rifle. I hear nothing but great results in accuracy with the CZ. It's more expensive but a great gun. The CZ 550 or 555 would be an excellent choice. It's accurate, looks that can't be beat and from what I hear it's well balanced and just an overall great rifle. i have a Savage 22 mag and I have not been impressed so far. Maybe I just haven't found the right ammo. I keep hearing how accurate they are but I struggle to get 1 MOA at 100. At 50 yards it's not to bad but not what you expect for a rifle that get so much hype. My sons little semi-auto 22LR will shoot circles around my Savage at 50 yards.
I have really been looking at the CZ 550 FS with the Manlicher stock in 22mag or 243. I like the old World War Era stock on that gun. It's on the menu. I swore I was going to get one and ended up with a Remington R1 Hunter. The 6 inch 1911 in 10mm. Great gun and accurate at long range. The CZ is next. I've promised myself that's the next gun.
Their handguns are top notch and like I said nothing but top notch reviews on their rifles. CZ has a large following for a good reason. They also own Dan Wesson handguns. I think you would be pleased with that selection.
