Marlin VS .17HMR and Mr Crow - Eric A - 31-08-2007 Hej Lani Most shots range from 50 to 125 yds with the 17 HMR on Crows. I shoot squirrel at ranges from 20 to 100yds i fall hunting season and Jack rabbits i Montana at ranges from 50 to 150 yds. The .17 HMR will kill fox and Coyote ,but I have listened to hunters not recovering the animal from using this caliber. I think anything bigger than a Raccoon or Jackrabbit needs a small centerfire cartridge such as a .204 Ruger,220swift,22-250 .223 or something in that power range. By the way the larger Coon i this billede needed 3 shots to kill him Billede is of a December hunt with 2 Coons, a Fox squirrel and a black squirrel ,riffel is lefthand Savage varmint 17HMR using Hornady Varmint Express ammo. Mvh...Eric Hunting and Fishing is a dirty business,but someone has to do it. Marlin VS .17HMR and Mr Crow - Lani - 03-09-2007 Hi Eric. This might sound strange to you, but why do you have 5 rifles of the same kind and caliber? I think I'd rather have one, which then was a little more expensive and accurate [?] LANI DURA LEX SED LEX, med latex skal du sejre....... Marlin VS .17HMR and Mr Crow - Eric A - 03-09-2007 Citat:quote: Good question Lani...I don't know myself..[][] I'll try to think of something..how is this for an answer. One I use on Crows..that rifle gets rough use,stock banged up from in and out of vehicles..could,nt stand having a Cooper or Dakota rifle having that kind of treatment. rifle 2 gets used at the concrete shooting bench in back of my work shop for gophers,red pine squirrels and other small varmints,its always ready to shoot.Remember where I live is fairly rural and unpopulated,so I can shoot a rifle most anytime without alarming other people. Rifle 3 remains a gun safe queen i the event that I damage rifle number one.[] Rifle number 4 is a Savage I use for hunting tree squirrel and I have it sighted in for the CCI hollow pt bullets rather than the more explosive Hornady Varmint express ammo. Rifle number 5..Jeg bought i a moment of weakness. OK..well that's my story and I'm sticking to it...[][] Mvh..Eric Hunting and Fishing is a dirty business,but someone has to do it. Marlin VS .17HMR and Mr Crow - Swift - 04-09-2007 Ja-well! Som en kendt våbenglad (jeg tror han var Amerikaner) engang svarede på spørgsmålet: ”Hvor mange skydevåben har de egentlig”? Svar: ”Flere end jeg har brug for, - men færre end jeg kunne tænke mig” Og sådan er der jo nok flere af os her på VTF der tænker. [][][] Swift |
