went and got me a .17 cal HMR varmit gun this saturday evening. already killed a rabbit with it. this lil gun is bad ass. capable of shooting 300 yards with a good scope like a BSA sweet 17. this gun is nice. i got it from walmart for right at 200 dollars with a box of ammo and a strap. there is 2 versions of the .17. there is the .17 HMR and the .17 HM2. the .17 HMR is the magnum of the .17 HM2. if anyone is looking for a good varmit gun for squirrels this is the best one to get.
