That scope looks pretty cool. I just don't know when I could use one.

Hey Chris, I'm thinking of obtaining a .17. I know you have one. How do you like it and what do you recommend? I would love to have a pump but don't know if anybody makes one or maybe a lever. I have just never liked a bolt action.

From what I'm reading they shoot reasonably flat out to 140 yards or so, is that you experience?

We have Hogs all over the place here in Florida but I have never seen one on my own property. I back up to farmland and have a lot of woods between my home and the farm but I guess it isn't a convenient way for them to come and go. They tear up the side of the roads and at the skeet range last year, they had the whole area tore up. If I had them on my property, I think that scope might be the ticket.

Those Henry's aren't cheap are they???
 
I love my .17hmr mine is a savage bolt action. I like the bolt on mine because with my bipod and whatnot I can lay on the ground and it is easy to reload. 140 yards it is nice and flat.

Mine also has the extra heavy barrel.

There is nothing I dislike about the gun.
 
That's all good news. And what I wanted to hear. Next question is: How loud is it? With better than twice the speed of a .22LR, I'm thinking loud, but hopefully not. Do you use iron sights or a scope?
 
I'm sorry for you Matt.

I use a scope. It's about as loud as a .22 but has a distinct crack to it. No ear plugs necessary.
 
Matt, you can come over here and play with mine.

if I was to give you a brick of 22lr and a tennis ball to chase around. you would be hooked for life.
then we could move up to pumkins!!! LOL and gallon jugs of colored water at 100 yards.

BTW..do you know anything about that island in Nova Scotia, that is supposed to have treasury on it? saw a show about it, pretty country

We were head there not long ago and I'm sure more attempts will be made to take away our guns.

Great Chris, I was hoping it would be rather quiet. The worst thing I see so far about the .17 is the price of the ammo. It's 4 times the cost of .223 ammo.
 
WoW what a difference. I generally use Ammoseek to check prices and they have them up there with the price of Gold. I guess I'll have to look around a bit more.

You must be talkin about oak island? It's about an hours drive from where I live. It's a cool spot. In the summer they do tours and little treasure hunts. I went and checked it out, pretty cool. They give you the history of oak island and tell you about the treasure. The history is something else. Read up on it!

And yes, we have a very pretty province. Too bad the economy is in shambles, our government has the IQ of the mud in my boots and theres no jobs. Half of Nova Scotians work in Alberta. Not me yet....but I have a feeling I'll end up there before too long.

Yes, oak Island. I watched a show on the discovery channel the other day
2 brothers are looking for treasure. the history is pretty neat.
are you sure your not talking about our government? i thought we had the monopoly on idiots.

looks like you 2 had a good time on your cruise. how much did you loose in the casino? :)
 
I see all those places on a regular basis :) Not so much the casino. But before i lost my dog, our regular walking routine was Pier 21, to the Casino and back. We usually hit up the farm market on the weekends.

We have a nice place to visit, just dont try and make a living here. Should you ever come back, ill buy ya a beer.....if you loan me some money.

Especially The Toothy Moose Cabaret, huh?:D
 
They get awfully mad when you urinate in construction dumpsters on the sidewalk. No matter how many times you say it, they don't accept "when a mans gotta go, a mans gotta go" as an excuse,
