Okay, so the .22 LR isn't doing the job anymore at ranges past ~50 yards on gophers. I'm looking at a 17hmr mainly, or possibly a .22 WMR. From what I've read more people recommend the 17 hmr than the 22 WMR for use against gophers.
I'm in kind of a dilemma. My price limit is currently around $450 including the scope. Any recommendations on what rifle to buy? I would like something with a really good trigger. Is a 9x scope all one needs for a 17 hmr/22 wmr?
