If you want to step up the fun meter. Look at a Ruger 77/17 in 17 WSM. Ammo is the same price as 17 hmr. The Ruger feels like an full size rifle in your paws, and you’re now lazering shots out to 250 plus in low-no wind.
Pat has one and the groups we have compared are ridiculous. Savage makes a 17 WSM but it appears to be almost junk like with its unusual bolt system.
I only looked at the Savage, never shot one. A lot of owners have given the Savage mixed reviews with too many being negative. YMMV
