10/22 vs. .17 Hmr Rifle...

[12many]

I have both and unless you modify the 10/22, I see them as very different guns. My 10/22 is a fun plinker and fun to modify. Get a 25 round mag and call it good.

My .17 Savage, bull barrel, laminated stock for about $380 is very accurate and well built. More of a longer range tool with great accuracy. More expensive to shoot. I was bench shooting mine this weekend and it is consistantly accurate. I was getting nickle sized groups at 40 yards off a wobbly bench and a couple sand bag supports with a breeze. Perfect day by the way !! I also think it is great gun to build shooting skill before upgrading to a longer range/caliber.

I would say keep the 10/22 stock and get a good bolt .17 HMR.

I have both a 10/22 and a Savage .17, both have bull barrels and are pretty accurate. They're both a blast to shoot, you can go to youtube and search "17hmr vs 22" or something similar and see the difference in downrange energy between the two. The HMR will give you more range. Plus, that Savage Accutrigger is awesome. Keep the 10/22 for short range plinking, and get the HMR to compliment it.

10/22 is fun to build up and learn about how to do your own mods. 17HMR is a no B$ rimfire round. Flat $traight and DRT!

Two totally different animals.
