I have several .22 mag rifles,and 1 .17HMR. I have a CZ model 512 semi auto,and a CZ model 452-2e bolt action .17 HMR. The .17 is THE most perfect for accuracy rifle that I have ever shot,but the model 512 is really close to it.
Ammo is cheaper and more available for the .17 right now,but .22mag ammo is becoming more available all the time. I don't really have trouble getting it anymore.

One thing about the .17 though,it might be effected by wind a bit more than the .22 mag.,but maybe not. It's got such a slim profile,that might make up for the lighter weight. I am going to try to do a comparison soon.

Walmart has a pretty good deal on The Savage A17 semi-auto IMO. I have a Savage .22 mag bolt that is good shooting rifle, seems like it's $363 for the A17. CCI makes a special ammo for these rifles that is slightly more powerful,and 100FPS faster,wanting to get some to try in my CZ.
