s4s4u, thanks for the reminder, I forgot about MGM stuff. I'm checking out their website as we speak.

pab1, I bought a .17HMR rifle when they first came out. Shortly after, I shot and lost one fox at 25 yds and since then haven't used it for anything bigger than rabbits. I think that tiny bullet ended up fragmenting on a rib and never hit vitals. Nonetheless it's still a deadly round for little critters.

Funny, both .22 Mag and .17 HMR aren't too tough to find around here. Finding .22LR is still like finding hen's teeth though.
