I have been looking at videos of the 17 HMR on the internet and have been impressed by what it can do to a gopher and since my next gun will be for this purpose only i was wondering what everyones opinion on them was. Also whats the big diffrence between 17 HMR and 17 Mach 2?? The reason i ask is because i found some 17 mach 2 for cheaper than the 17 HMR. I am worried about draining my rimfire ammunition budget on 17 HMR ammunition One reason i am leanning to the 17 HMR is because if you sight the gun in at 100 yards you only have to lower the crosshairs 0.2 inch to shoot a target at 50 yards and raise it 2.9 inch to shoot a target at 150 yards. since i do not shoot many gophers past 100 yards it would mean only having to place the crosshair on the gopher and shooting. VS the 22lr which when sighted at 100 yardss requires you to lower the crosshair 2.9 inches to hit a target at 50 yards and if shooting a target at 150 yards to raise the crosshairs 13.6 inches
