I'm going to look at a Marlin 917 M2S tonight, does anybody have any experience with these? My biggest concern right now is ammo availability, any info would be appreciated, thanks!
Ive got one. accurate as could be, nice trigger and action. i have a Savage i use a lot more, but probably because the Savage has halfway decent glass on it and the Marlin just has irons.
The benefit of .17hmr is long range... my eyes arent up to the distance without a scope.
.17hmr cost a lot more than .22lr... but i prefer it. damn flat shooting well past 100yds, i regularly use it for 300+ yards.
BiMart has sales for ~$10 for a box of 50 pretty often. way more $ than .22lr... but cheap compared to anything else i enjoy shooting.
The mach2 in the safe will be my daughters when she moves past the single shoot.22lr
I've run a bunch of boxes of ammo through it, and its taken a fair amount of rabbits.
I like the .17 caliber quite a bit. HMR being my favorite, but the mach 2 would be a better rabbit gun at under 150 or so yards. The HMR demolishes them so not as much edible meat left
