[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1232598, member: 2736"] There is no doubt that the 22 LR is king. having said that I now prefer the 17 HMR because of the accuracy at longer distances. I have a couple of match grade 22s but the 17 HMR will out shoot them a 100+yards. After hunted quite a bit, the squirrel's get smart and keep plenty of distance between the shooter and themselves. With the HMR I can take them on at distances of 100+yards with very good odds of success. With the combination of better quality bullets, loads and a custom barrel. 1/2 MOA at 100 yards with 10 shots is not to hard. yes it is not as quite as a 22 LR but it is not as loud as a shotgun and you can stand off/back and pick the unsuspecting squirrels off. and for some reason the 17 HMR ammo Is not hard to come by like the 17 Mach 2. Just my preference J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
