17 Hornet would be a great purchase. A suppressor is another great way to go.
Think less noise and recoil. P-dogs will stay up better when subjected to less noise, and you will have more fun watching the impacts in the scope.
you boys mentioning that 17 Hornet, just had a thought cross my mind...that Ruger American Predator I picked up, is threaded from the factory for a suppressor....
one of those chambered in a 17 Hornet sure would be a great walk around varminter... bet they' sell the hell out of those, especially when components are readily available again....
The Ranch Rifle configuration in it also....
