Great little gun for coyotes and other vermin out to 200 yards or so. Fast and flat out to that range for sure, but like most hunting scenarios shot placement is king. If you can shoot, it will do the job nicely with little to no fur damage. Certain areas I call are rimfire or shotgun only and this little round has put plenty down on these public areas where my choices are limited. I’ve never had buyers remorse with any firearm! How about you? The only issue now is ammo availability, but it doesn’t matter what caliber you are looking for right now it is all scarce for the most part.

I watch the rifles on gunbroker for a a couple months and never did buy one. At the time they were cheaper than I could find down town. I just sold 500 rounds of ammo over the weekend. If you want a 17, get the 17 rem. It will do 1000 FPS more than the 17wsm.

I own a Savage .17hmr. The clip/magazines are junk. It took some mods to get them to load each time. Even then they foul up every now and then.
Is there a better version of this caliber?

I also have the Savage B mag. I'm pleased with the gun considering what I paid. Two issues with this model: The bolt feels like it's fully closed when it isn't yet. Pull down the handle to lock it closed and the bolt digs into the stock. I have a dent in the stock from doing this so many times. I've never had a problem with the rotary magazine not feeding but it's difficult to snap into place. Like the bolt, it feels like it's in but it isn't. I've had the bolt fall out on the first shot a bunch of times.
I bought it when searching for a .17HMR and liked that it was a little hotter. Ammo is expensive. I paired mine with a Nikon Buckmaster 3x9-40 scope. Accuracy is good - 1MOA out to 100 yds. Beyond that the bullet is getting blown around quite a bit.
