[QUOTE="B23, post: 1475873, member: 13222"] In the rimfire world, the 17 WSM is definitely the King of the rimfires. For just being a rimfire, the 17 WSM is a very capable round. We shoot a lot of Belding ground squirrels, AKA sage rats, where shooting 300-500 rounds per day in a hay field is often the norm. I used to exclusively shoot my 17 HMR but once I got my Sav HB SS Bmag 17 WSM, I hardly ever shoot any of my HMR's. The 17 WSM has extended my range without having to reach for a centerfire and out past 100yds the 17 WSM has a lot higher splat factor than the HMR does. I have a couple CZ 527 17 Hornets as well, and they're a lot of fun to shoot sage rats with as well. The 17 Hornet, much like the 17 WSM, extends my range and with a much harder hit, yet is still fairly inexpensive to shoot and they don't make a lot of noise, especially shooting them suppressed. I shoot my 17 WSM suppressed 100% of the time, it's very quiet, sounds about the same as a pellet gun but with a light sonic crack down range. The heavy barrel Sav. Bmags generally shoot really well. I wouldn't really recommend one of the skinny barrel Bmags though and the Bmag certainly has some oddities to it but if you shoot one much you'll get used to it pretty quickly. I bought mine before they ever came out with the HB models with the laminated stocks so mine had the cheap plastic *** stock. I put a Boyd's Pro Varmint stock on mine and added a few other items and it turned out pretty well for a relatively inexpensive gun. This is my Sav.
