My rifle for that purpose is a CZ 452 full stock with a Leopold scope, in .17 HMR. However, I have more than $500 in the rig. At the price point, it is hard to beat a Savage rifle. Marlin rifles, and the Ruger American, would work as well.
I have to work for a living and don't have time to hunt for ammo for an HM2, but I'd like to try it someday.
