I'm looking for a new rodent gun. I can't decide which one I want. I will be shooting rock chucks, prairie dogs, squirrels, rabbits, the occasional fox or coyote.
I know the 22 mag has a lot more of a thump to it with an effective range of about 200 yds. What will the 17 do? I know they are flatter shooting and faster.
I'm having a hard time deciding because they are so close. Leaning towards the 17 for the longer range for prairie dogs.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks.
