Traded for M&P 15-22

[CJ]

Shit, how? You casting your own .22 bullets and jacketing them with spent .22LR brass?

I can get to about 11 cents a round.

[bottlerocket]

Meh, I can get close.

Yes, except you can't shoot your AR for 2-3 cents a round.

You crazy man. I love my 10/22... if i wanted to shoot an AR platform 22 i would be shooting my AR in 5.56.... its also a .22 caliber

Sounds fun too. I really enjoy just shooting mine offhand and doing some plinking. Bolt action really doesn't promote things like that

True. I have a 60 year old Remington 550 for that and it shoots better than my 10/22 did.

I never research 17 hmr before yesterday. Bad ass little round.

[ThreeFingerPete]

The 17 or 22?

The 17 is a shitload more accurate, but the 22 has almost 3 times the energy.

I bought my .17 for hunting. I bought my 10/22 for cheap plinking.

.17HMR (Model 93, also available in .22 wmr) vs .22lr (mark ii)

[Chopped54]

It obviously has more energy, and inherent accuracy due to much better quality ammunition and decent bullets (not lead).

To the 93? Thats pretty impressive. I thought the .17 was supposed to have a significant advantage over 22LR.

The savage Mark II and the Model 93 are the LR / Magnum versions of the same rifle.

The .3" group I posted a while back was shot with a bone stock Savage Mark II BVXP and bulk ammunition.

Don't want a $1000 .5 MOA .22? Don't expect a semi auto.

[bottlerocket]

The savage mark ii (22lr) share similar accuracy.

Apples to oranges... $0.29 per round for .17 isn't nearly as cost effective as .22LR. Might as well get an AR and start reloading at that price...

I sold mine and bought a Savage 93 BRJ in .22 WMR instead. Easy to shoot 1 hole groups at 50 yards and does pretty well at 100 if it's not windy too. Of course it's a bolt gun and not a semi but I have more fun with it just because it's so accurate. Like I said I'll probably buy a used 10/22 in the future that someone has already done up.

I have the Savage 93 in .17hmr and is easily one of the most accurate guns I have shot

I was in the same boat. I picked up a 10/22 carbine (wood stock, barrel band, etc) and while it was fun for a mag or two, the shit trigger and inconsistent accuracy were annoying. Spend a couple bucks on it and its a whole new gun (at least it feels like it). I love mine now and its as fun as any gun I own.
