Last week I sited I my new CZ Mdl 527 Varmint 17 Hornet rifle w/ Leopold 4-12 X 40 MM AO scope using Hornady 20 Gr ammo. Whats not to like about a rifle that shoots sub 1/2 inch groups at 100 yards off a bench rest ? I ll be shooting five of ten boxes of Hornady ammo at prairie dogs before I start reloading ammo. I have a number of varmint rifles but this spring the 17 Hornet will be the one I use the most. In the past I have said when you come out to prairie dog country you would be well equipped with a 17 HMR and .204 Ruger varmint rifle but I may be adding the 17 Hornet. Prairie dogs get muzzle blast smart so I like low muzzle blast and recoil rifles.
