Ok, so I have had the 617 for a month or two now but haven't had the time or the weather it seems to get out and go through some rounds.

Welps, that all changed today. I stopped over at the local shooting range first and got a feel for gun. Just spent a few cylinders worth plinking some bottles and cans laying around out there in the 20-30yd range. So far, I like what I am feeling, seeing, and shooting.

From there, I headed on out to the prairies and began what was to be a terrible day for the prairie dog population out and around the area. At 30-50yds I am very comfortable and proficient. With the winds today anything further than that was hit and miss to be honest with ya. I did however, drop one at 75yds and one at about 105yds.

Just thought I would stop by and let you all know how my day went, and thank you all for your input when I was asking about this weapon. So I hope you are all enjoying your Spring out there and lets get them dogs...

GOOD SHOOTING:what: Im not surprised though 617 is a great revoler, have to say im a little envious, us east coast city folk normally only get to shoot indoors at 25 yards at most
 
Congrats on a great .22 LR revolver. The S&W M617 is truly outstanding. Sold my last one to get back into a S&W M41. IMO, can't go wrong with either.

Good shooting and be safe.

+1 for Smith 617

Awesome .22 and very fun to shoot. Glad you got some round through 'er!
 
Thanks for the replies folks. Will be taking her out again this weekend and see if I can't do better. As far as shooting glass bottles, that's a BIG negatory, in fact I usually pick them up when I see them out there.

KONY, I agree and am now looking to buy a 686 in matching 8 3/8" ss to partner up with the 617, just a matter of finding a nice one at a decent price...anyone???

Shoot 'em straight and knock 'em dead!!!
