everyone that i know who varmint hunts says the .17 is essentially a gimic, it is in fact not more powerful, and while it reaches slightly farther, the lack of bullet weight makes it a very overspecialized toy that costs way more to shoot than the .22 and only offers dubious advantages at best- around here, btw, 550 rounds of .22 lr, 15 bucks, 50 rounds of .17- 20 bucks- really a loosing proposition for the .17, unless you have to have the latest state of the art weapon to defend against zombie gophers......
