Went for a walk on the farm while the farmer was cutting corn. Saw about 30 turkeys...2 Woodchucks (bad day for them) and this year old male Coyote that had a good deal of mange...did it a favor by shooting it. Really liking this Ruger 17hmr....

Re: Coyote Woodchuck 17hmr
Coyote at 125-130 yds...straight on shot. Scope is one of the newer Sweet 17 scopes from BSA. Overall very pleased with the package...

Re: Coyote Woodchuck 17hmr
Good shootin!
What rounds did you use VMAX or CCI TNT HP? The VMAX work extremely well on the woodchucks as you can tell. I have the same BSA scope too, it's perfect for the little tack driver.
My field tests show the TNT's stay together and penetrate twice as much as the VMAX but I haven't got to shoot a coyote yet with the TNT's.
Which round?

Re: Coyote Woodchuck 17hmr
Yeh the little 17hmr is the calibre that could!
Every rifle shooter should own a 17hmr imo.

Re: Coyote Woodchuck 17hmr
I have always thought the Ruger was a better looking rifle, the marlins and savages seem to be more prevelent but the Ruger looks better to me. Nice shooting!

Re: Coyote Woodchuck 17hmr
The Ruger is built like a tank. I've go one also a CZ. Like them both..

Re: Coyote Woodchuck 17hmr
great apppreciation for all 17's-----if I didn't like the 17 Fireball so much (reloadeable) I'd favor the HMR--but I do get
a great deal of use out of the 17M2--has 1 coyote to its credit
(45yds-neck shot) but it too was a mangy one that was apparently
going to steal a rabbit already dispatched by the little M2--
that Ruger would look good in a pseudo-M5 stock!!!
