OT- kinda

Post by 505stevec »

I looked at a Henry .17 HMR today. Anyone have good or bad to say about .17 HMR or Henry? It was a pretty rifle. There was also a Winchester .22 mag 9422 for $425. I should probably get this as they usually go for about a buck higher on Gunbroker. What say you on the .17hmr or would you go for ther .22 mag? It is going to be used for Prairie Dogs. Gracias mi amigos :D

Cautiously, as not to provoke the Henry-ites among us, I would say go with the 9422M. You are kinda talking about a large power difference between the .17 and the .22Mag.

9422's are selling in the $650+ range, in excellent condition, here in New England - I'd jump on that in a New York Minute, as much as I like my recently acquired Henry .22, which I've now peeped.
