Anyone have one of these? How are they? I'm thinking about adding one to my shopping list.

It's supposed to shoot dead flat for about 250 yards. I've read quite a few reviews that say it's nothing to drop a squirrel or ground hog at 150 yards with good optics. I'm pretty sure that I'm adding one to my shopping list.I am afraid I am of no help here my friend, I have no knowledge or hands on with this one at all.
That said, I am a fan of that .17hmr cartridge. Pretty cool little plinker. Great learning round for the young guns in the crowd and still has the ability to knock rodent sized small game in the dirt.

Right now, it's easily one of the hottest calibers asked about in the shop. We get, probably, 3 or 4 questions about the cartridge on them a week for the last 4 to 6 months...It's supposed to shoot dead flat for about 250 yards.
