P-Dogs Yesterday in sunny western Colorado 17HMR
I shoot off sandbags and a San Angelo portable bench.
I get maybe 1,000 prairie dogs a year, and yesterday was really enjoyable as I made a whole bunch of kills at 150 and more. There were several head shots at 260 yards measured back from the dead-dogs back to my Subaru (gun wagon) using the Nikon RF. There was no wind.
I use a Savage just like the one in post#3, with a BSA Sweet 17 40mm range turret scope.
So, do not doubt the ability to make your 17HMR reach out well past typical rimfire range.
