[QUOTE="sam_b03, post: 7761250, member: 607518"] What kind of action and distance are you wanting to shoot. Does a bolt action bother you or you looking for an auto? Remington 700, Winchester 100's and Browning A-bolts are all good shooting bolt actions. How far are you wanting to shoot? If you aren't looking for much more than 100 yard .22 will work. smaller rounds like .223 and 22.250's are very fast and pretty accurate several hundred yard(the Army did any internal investigation in Iraq because of all the head shots. Then the investigators went in the field and witnesses a couple headshots from 300yrds with an M4 when the terrorist would peek from the windows it was dropped) The rounds are light and get blown around by the wind. THis is a big issue with 17HMR's. Most big center fire rounds like 30-06, 308, 270, 30-30 are going to cost $15-20/box of 20 target ball ammo at Walmart.Atleast for decent ammo, Wolf can be had for cheaper.
