[QUOTE="YZ-80, post: 2928248, member: 109229"] I would absolutely buy the 17HMR barrel just for the ability to take out stuff like coons and groundhogs at further distances. Others may beg to differ, and I don’t want to underestimate the lethality of the 22lr but if groundhogs and other critters are out past 50 yards, the 22lr might not be as reliable a killer. Maybe you can do it with a CCI stinger or CCI velociiter but I’ve dispatched coons effectively with the 17HMR out to 200 yards. It’s worth gettin the extra barrel. Plus, they are a snap to swap out. Pull it out of the stock, replace 2 set screws and you are good to go! (After sighting in, of course). [/QUOTE]
