Which do you think is better or do you like better the .17 HMR or the .22 Mag? And why?

even my little henry lever .22 does the job, heck, even my single shot .22 will kill a hog. i was with my freind and he ran away with the gun from the hog. his uncle took it and shot it, with a single shot 22, and dropped it on the spot. i say any 22 is better than a .17 hmrTyler Patterson":3rq0ftqq said:17 isnt accurate at all. i shot one at a tree from about 50 yards away to see how accurate it was..and it missed. .22 mag would be much more reccomended

sounds like a operator error....
but in my opinion the 22mag is a great gun I have killed bobcats, yotes, deer, whatever. just a great gun and cheaper ammo than the .17
Speakin of ammo have ya'll priced any recently.
:shock: :shock: :shock:
it would have to be the gun...i can hit a dogtag in a tree from 50 yards away and hit it dead in the center with a 22, open sightedcattleluvr18":1p051yla said:allenfarms":1p051yla said:Tyler Patterson":1p051yla said:17 isnt accurate at all. i shot one at a tree from about 50 yards away to see how accurate it was..and it missed. .22 mag would be much more reccomended
