[QUOTE="blygy, post: 158310, member: 6337"] I went through this same decision..here's what I came up with.. 17HMR with 17gr v-max @ 2550fps. 22WMR with 33gr v-max @ 2100fps.. the 22 mag won out here.. lose only 400FPS to double my bullet weight.. I'll do that everytime... Marlin vs Savage.. I have one buddy with a Marlin 17HMR. I have a Savage in 22 mag and a buddy with the same.. Another buddy has a savage 17 HMR. They all shoot very good.. the 22 mags really like the 33 gr remingtons. The 17HMR only has 2 choices a 17gr or a 20 gr there is not much choice there. The Savage 17 had problems feeding the 20gr. Now if you carry them much the Savage is the preference due to the 5 rd mag instead of the 7 rd as the 7 rounder will dig into your back worse. So for me the choice was a Savage 93R FVSS. If I was shooting gophers the 17 might win out. But I shoot lots of beavers and the 22 mag with the heavier bullets was the choice for me. It still works real well on gophers too. [/QUOTE]
