A few areas I hunt have a rimfire restriction. Shot distances will be 150 yards or less taken from a seated position with a bipod to ensure solid rest. Fox will be the most common game but it is not impossible for a coyote to pop up either.
17WSM was on my radar but I will not buy a savage B.mag unless I could find a heavy barrel target model.
What do you guys think about 17 HMR or 22 mag for my needs? 17 HMR is flatter shooting which is nice, put the crosshair where you want and pull the trigger with no thought, but the 22 mag obviously has more energy transfer for when a coyote pops up… I’m torn
