Hey guys or gals, any info on the range and nockdown power of the 22mag as to the .17 say over 100yards? I'm looking to buy a Henry rifle golden boy.. went shop'n for the 22mag but.. WHOOOOAAAA!!! they offer it in a .17 HMR Too!!! What's Yer thoughts....I started gettting Patient ...Thats never happened before... My brother has a .22 mag that i love .. bolt action though.. i don't like the clip thing... but don't want to sacrifice acccuracy..I LOVE A LEVER!!! I love my 9410 excellent short range garden rifle.. actions kinda stiff but I'm sure I'll be loosening that up shortly w/ the spring coming on.. :D anyway back to the .17 .. I love a toy but will it kill a ground hog at 200 yrds accurately? say I have it sighted at 100 yd.. aim 3-5 " high but thats all? will I damn near roll it like I do w/ the .22 mag at 150Yd? ok i'm exagerating abiout the rolling thing but damn they go Quick :D
