A local gunshop has a CZ-452 American in .17HMR and I'm considering buying it.
I have a CZ-452 LUX in .22LR. Very fine rifle. Very accurate. Very nice wood so the fact that the .17 is a CZ is a big plus.
I've no experience with .17HMR at all but I think it would be a nice addition to the .22 as I believe I could use it out to 200 yards or so.
All I do is punch holes in paper or shoot little metal sillhouettes so it's irrelevant whether or not it will kill rats out that far. I just want a small caliber, cheap to shoot rifle (I reload and I really don't want another caliber I'll feel obligated to reload) that'll go out to 200 yards with some accuracy.
Will the .17HMR do that?
If anyone has experience with the CZ-452 American in .17 I'd be interested in your thoughts too.
Thanks...
