I have used an accurized 10/22 for many years now as my squirrel rifle. The only thing that I do not like is that during the late season, say December on, the woods get pretty open and I do not like stretching the range of a .22 long rifle. I thought for a while about a .22 magnum, but never really liked that idea.
Then the .17 HMR came out and that looked promising, but still was not exactly my cup of tea.
Now there is the .17 Mach II and this looks like the cartridge I am looking for. I have seen the ballistics charts and this looks like it might be for me.
How many of you actually have a .17M2 and what do you think about it as a squirrel round?
What affordable rifles are out there that are Minute of squirrel accurate at 100 yards? I have seen the CZ but really like how the Marlin 917 looks.
