danw 1,748 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Best way to help in this situation is to point you to they box in the right hand corner of your screen that says search type in 17 vs 22 and it will take you to more pointless threads on this subject than you will ever want to read. They're only pointless if you know the answer. Aye there pointless cause folks will never grasp that they are different tools for different jobs neither is better than the other I understand where you're coming from, but we all had to learn somewhere mate. By the way, what is better, a hammer or a pair of pliers? Hammer cause what it dont fix it can smash lolYou know this is the most worrying forum on the net, responses like that from someone that actually has a gun licence. Well done chap, Let the world read. :toast: Aye I'm sure the antis will worry about a comment left in jest such as I made I guess the lol at the end wasn't enough of a clue for you Quote Link to post

Sirgoldalot 0 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I use .22 close and quiet great for lamping for those shy rabbits and distance the hmr.. both have good and bad points but work well overall as a package Quote Link to post
richmcgin 32 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 22 is by far the best round, 17 was a fashion statement !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to post
NoM8s 2 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 From someone who has and likes both they are two very different calibres. The hmr was successfully launched as it fills the gap between 22lr and 22wmr - not to say that's why it was launched but it's the best way I can explain it. The hmr is superior to the 22lr for close range fox control in my experience. It is also better in open ground where long shots are the norm on rabbit (again just my experience). I prefer my .22lr most of the time because it's quiet and cheap, but there are circumstances/shoots where the hmr is the better tool. No one can tell you what's best for you as you circumstances are unique (ground layout, ability, etc). Just buy a rifle you like the look of, learn to use it, and don't look back! Quote Link to post
