I bought a Marlin .17hmr last December and I absolutely love this gun. I had my first kill with it on the opening morning of bow season. Even when bow hunting, I always carry a gun to the stand with me. About 8am that morning, a grey fox trotted out about 60 yds from me. I knew I couldnt take the shot with my bow so I decided to use the ol .17. WOW! Made me love the gun even more. So my question is... What is everyone's opinion of the .17hmr?
I avoid Dick's and hope they fold.

don't let a game warden catch you doin that, you will get a ticket, and if you have a deer down, possibly go to jail.
as far as the round goes, i think its the greatest thing since sliced bread.
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

I can drive nails with my Marlin as well. I do agree with the problems with the clip. I read somewhere that Marlin makes a 4 round clip that is flush with the stock. I have been looking for 1 but can not find one anywhere. I love it. It is fast and hits small game hard.

I've got the Savage as well, and it will drive tacks. Love that gun.
My wife's only thing is it can't stare at her when she is eating or sleeping!
