I Just bought one but I read a lot of forums and there is a lot of hatred towards it??? They say its way to expensive to plink and not much better and a fish out of water and then they turn around and luv the .17> luv>luv>Luv it { isnt it very expensive to shoot and a fish out of water} very strange!

The 22 mag has a very limited use, it is not as accurate as a 22LR, nor a .17HMR. The ammo is expensive as well. More than 17HMR in my parts. Nothing against them, but I don't see the need as I have a Quad with 22LR and 17HMR barrels.

22lr and .17 will rule and the mag will fade into history like the 264 mag and the 300 H&H ?

They are just jealous. I have a stock 22 mag Ruger 77 target with heavy barrel and laminate stock that will out shoot just about any factory 22 LR in the same price range with the right bullets.

Elmer Keith once wrote disparagingly that the .270 Winchester was an adequate coyote cartridge. Why would you use a .17 to kill when you can use a 22 cal?

I never thought I'd get anything smaller than 22 cal. It took 10 years but I finally got a 17hmr, better late than never.
Also a 204 and now I've got fantasies for a 17 Remington.
Oh well.
