[QUOTE="Old Hickory 45, post: 3068335, member: 115728"] I live atop of the Mississippi River bluff in SE Iowa. We have a lot of game here in town, especially here in the north end of town. Our town population of squirrels is great but the population of them has greatly decreased out of town due to so many varmints. Since great powers invented the .17 rimfires, hunting is often better than expected, as far as equipment. When the HMR rifles hit the market, I bought one right away and it has proven to be a fantastic hunting round. And as you know, the .17 WSM came on the scene and of course, I grabbed a BMAG WSM as soon as they were for sale. Both .17 Savage rifles required some after market additions and work to be a proper working and accurate hunting rifle. The advantage of the WSM over the HMR has proven itself over the HMR for hunting small game and the occasional large varmint that happens along. I am happy with my WSM rifle and ordered another one two years ago, a Savage A17 Sporter .17 WSM. Nope, that rifle has not arrived yet. A picture of my tricked out HMR and a picture of my BMAG WSM. And a picture of the A17 WSM. [/QUOTE]
