Skippy vs. the 17hmr

I didn't have much time to shoot rats when I was turkey hunting because the turkeys were a little more challenging than last year, but I did find 2 to shoot with my new .17hmr.
So in other words, I'm 2 for 2 (100%) for this gun on sage rats. Hmmmm...maybe I should just hang this gun up and keep the perfect record.

bullfrog--The rifle of yours sure put some BAD HURT on those sage rats. What was the distance on those shots? Show us what that little .17 HMR looks like.

Victim 1 was only about 35 yards away. He ended up a couple yards further away after impact however.
Victim 2 was about 80-90 yards away.
I took a nap in the sun after shooting these 2 hoping there would be a few more popping up after I woke up, but no luck. Guess they were the only two around.

I hope you didn't kill the last breeding pair!
Looks like that Savage did the job real well.

That's a nice looking piece of wood. It's a shame you didn't have more targets. Gary
